Explore this small but lively town, browse the specialist shops, have a drink or a meal at one of its excellent restau-rants, cafes and pubs, enjoy the latest film at the well-loved cinemas or take a stroll to Rothay Park and enjoy a peaceful riverside walk. If you feel more active enjoy a game of tennis, bowls or crazy golf at the recreation park. Leave your car in your private space then take the stairs or lift to the second floor. Go into the en-trance hall where you will find handy cupboards for your outdoor clothing. Walk further into your stylish and sunny L-shaped lounge with dining area.
Relax on the lovely suite and listen to your fa-vourite music, watch TV or catch up with family and friends on the internet.

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.

It is obvious that a lot of thought and work has gone into this well equipped and beautifully furnished holiday apartment. The only slight negative would have to be the water pressure especially since the en-suite shower was so luxurious. We throughly enjoyed our week at Jenkins Cragg and will definitely book again. Thank you
