Situated in a picturesque woodland setting just above Skelwith Bridge, about three miles west of Ambleside, is this delightful, self-catering apartment. Set all on the ground-floor, this apartment has been thoughtfully appointed to provide a homely accommodation, perfect for families wishing to enjoy time together in one of the finest parts of the country. With an abundance of wildlife to be spotted, including birds, red squirrels and deer, this really is an idyllic haven from which to enjoy this scenic part of the Lake District. The open-plan style living area is comprised of a kitchen, dining and sitting area where you can gather to watch a family film or discuss the plans for the remainder of the holiday. Head to the double bedroom to catch some sleep, dressed in a neutral colour scheme with ample storage for your personal belongings, while there is also a twin bedroom that is perfect for children. Step outside to the patio area and enjoy a morning coffee while taking in views of the Langdale Valley or return here in the evening an enjoy a spot of alfresco dining after a tiring day out. With stunning walks from the door, including a footpath to the summit of Neaum Crag and the well-known Loughrigg fell, while the long-distance Cumbria Way passes through Skelwith Bridge, you are ideally placed for enjoying some of the finest walks in the Lake District. With such awe-inspiring scenery on offer, there is little reason to get in the car, but if you do, just a short drive away is the bustling town of Ambleside where you can find a good selection of shops, outdoor centres, galleries, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. Take a cruise down the lake to the tourist hub of Bowness-on-Windermere where you’ll find the Lakes Aquarium in Lakeside great for little ones, or alternatively you can get off at Brockhole and walk back to Ambleside over Wansfell, through picturesque countryside. This apartment makes for a magnificent Lake District escape, whatever time of year.

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.
