Town: 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.

Fantastic location- spacious, comfortable and highly recommended!

The check- in process was very easy, I had a query which was answered promptly prior to arriving. The property was as advertised, with good proportion bedrooms, sitting rooms/ kitchen and ample storage for your belongings. It is clean and well presented. The location is excellent and has two car parking spaces. Then only areas of improvement could be providing a simple care package upon arrival (as the nearest Tesco is 15 minutes away with limited parking), the beds are quite firm and the provision of fans would be helpful with the warmer weather. Otherwise, a wonderful, comfortable stay for a family of four!
