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.

It is literally outside the windows and was intolerable. Next door cottage rooms being above Carriage house also not mentioned. If there is a noisy family above (as we had!) shouting, laughing and even snoring can be heard. None of the above made for the hoped for peaceful week in The Lakes. This was a shame because actual cottage and facilities were perfectly fine.

The only downside was that the shower is unusable because of the water pressure, and having to resort to using the bath when thereâs 4 adults stopping there wasnât convenient at all.

Lounge is not large, but perfectly adequate. The kitchen has everything you need in a relatively small space, and their are two Large bedrooms. Good location for walking into Ambleside or Waterhead as well as having a bus stop outside the door.
