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.

We found the well equipped property an ideal base for our walking break. Some may find the size of the property a problem, this didn't bother us at all.

It had everything we needed., with the location central to Ambleside and a short walk to anywhere in the village, just perfect. The only problem is the car parking,. Although the parking permit system is simple, we couldn't find a space in any of the 4 small local car parks that took the permit, but that's Ambleside in the summer for you...busy. The only car parking we could find was in the only car park in the village where the permit isn't allowed, so we had to pay £6 for the first day and then get up at 7:30am the following day to move the car before needing to pay again, but managed to find a bay in one of the allowed car parks, parking wasn't a problem afterwards as we didn't move the car!

There were fragments of broken glass near the entrance door and one of the outside chairs was broken which was reported but nothing done. Visitors are asked to empty the bins on leaving into the council bin but where are the council bins?.
