Accommodation Details

"High above Ambleside on the lower slopes of Wansfell, this spacious Lakeland cottage enjoys breathtaking views over the village to Loughrigg Fell and beyond. An entrance hall leads to the superb living room with spectacular bay window and deep-cushioned furnishings around the open fire. The kitchen / dining room is a real social space; the dining table next to the woodburning stove set in a traditional Inglenook fireplace. From the kitchen, a rear door leads out to the raised patio garden. Upstairs to even finer views and the 2 stylish double bedrooms; one en-suite and the other with its own bathroom. Outside, there is a delightful raised patio, perfect for chilling out in the morning or after your busy day. With superb fell views throughout the cottage and a convenient village location, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds here, and you'll find that a wealth of famed Lake District walks start right here in Ambleside. Want to take it easy? Admire the landscapes from the comfort of your holiday home and stroll a short distance through Ambleside's bustling shopping streets, where you'll find an array of acclaimed Lake District restaurants, several excellent local pubs, tempting delicatessens for stocking up the kitchen and even a cinema/pizzeria. Ambleside sits off the northern shores of Lake Windermere. Close to the village centre at Waterhead Pier, Windermere Lake Cruises depart to Bowness and Lakeside offering a perfect opportunity to explore without a car. Bustling Bowness is one of the most popular Lake District holiday destinations and is well worth a visit even if it's only to sample one of the best ice-creams in the National Park! From Ambleside, you'll find scenic drives in every direction but the A591 is the main route through to Rydal Water, Grasmere and beyond. "

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
