Gillybeck

About this property

Looking for a comfortable and attractive ground floor apartment which is in a peaceful location but only a short walk to the town centre? Then Gillybeck is the perfect, all year-round holiday home for you. Just a half -mile walk will take you to the beautiful, bustling town of Ambleside at the heart of the Lake District National Park. Take a gentle stroll into town to explore the specialist shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs View the latest film at the excellent cinema or take in the lovely Rothay Park where you can enjoy a tranquil and level walk by the river.

Walk to Waterhead, fifteen-minutes by foot from the town centre and take a cruise on lake Win-dermere or, if you are feeling adventurous hire your own private boat. From your doorstep, walk up into the hills through stunning scenery to explore the refreshing countryside and acclaimed trails, where you are sure to be rewarded with a glimpse of the shim-mering lakes and tarns below. Leave the car in your private space and take the short walk to your large covered porch leading to the entrance hall where you can hang up your outdoor clothing. Go into your good-sized sitting room with dining area and you are sure to appreciate the comfortable furnishings, co-ordinated fabrics and attention to detail. Relax on the comfortable suite and enjoy the views from the win-dows. Through the patio doors you will find just the spot for your favourite drink or breakfast outdoors.

You will find two elegantly decorated bedrooms. One double, with en-suite bathroom which has a bath with shower over, bidet, basin and WC and one twin bedroom. The apartment also has a sec-ond bathroom.

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.
