About this property
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.

The heating controls were haphazard and did not consistently work as advertised. The tiled floor downstairs was quite grubby, we mopped and cleaned it ourselves. The TV in the kitchen did not work as advertised. The mattresses in both double beds need replacing as they have both sunk significantly in the centre. All of that said, it was a very comfortable, well equipped and thought out cottage

Have stayed at the property before it's been extended, they have done a lovely job. Really nicely done.

Well designed and constructed, high-end fixtures & fittings and attractive finishes. Lots of space throughout, umpteen TVâs and practical flooring downstairs. WiFi and heating that worked, including very welcome under floor heating. It offers a substantial, outdoor entertainment area, parking for two or (at a squeeze) three cars and itâs just a short walk into Ambleside town centre. Turn right and right again out of the property, up the hill and you can walk up and along the fell footpath before dropping down into the town or head further up towards Troutbeck, if you so desire. As has been highlighted by others, for those with dogs/children, beware the opening into the road from the unfenced drive/garden area. Scissors still missing and a few gaps on the glassware front but otherwise, everything that you might need during your stay. Overall, a credit to the owners and those maintaining the property.
