We've now stayed at this property for the third consecutive year and would not bother to look elsewhere. Excellent house, beautifully modernized and in a perfect location. Everything you need is a few minutes away.

A modern, stylish, comfortable house in a quiet, central location in Ambleside. The parking permit was very handy and the public car park is only a short walk away if on street parking is not available. We had a great stay.
