About this property

La'al Kirkstone Brow is a delightful, dog-friendly ground-floor apartment resting in Ambleside, Cumbria, featuring off-road parking, a woodburning stove, and a private courtyard for enjoying time outdoors. Ideal for couples, friends, or a small family seeking a Lake District escape, this thoughtfully arranged ground-floor apartment offers a welcoming base between days of adventure and exploration. Pull into the private parking space and make your way inside, where carefully considered interiors create a relaxing setting for your stay. The sitting room invites you to settle in with the gentle glow of the woodburning stove flickering in the background, while the well-equipped kitchen provides everything needed for preparing leisurely breakfasts before heading out or evening meals after returning from the fells.

When the day draws to a close, choose between two attractive bedrooms, comprising a flexible super-king-size room and a double, both served by a stylish bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower. Outside, the enclosed courtyard offers a pleasant spot to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind with a favourite drink as the evening settles over Ambleside. From the doorstep, discover some of the Lake District's most celebrated destinations. Wander through the heart of Ambleside, exploring the fascinating Armitt Museum and Gallery or visiting the iconic Bridge House that spans Stock Beck. A short journey leads to Windermere, where lake cruises offer sweeping views across England's largest natural lake, and Brockhole on Windermere provides woodland trails, gardens, and family-friendly activities.

Venture to Grasmere, famed for its connections with Wordsworth at Dove Cottage and the scenic walks surrounding Grasmere Water. For those seeking unforgettable landscapes, the nearby hills, valleys, and lakes provide endless opportunities to immerse yourself in one of Britain's most treasured national parks. Whatever adventures fill your itinerary, La'al Kirkstone Brow offers a wonderful base for discovering the beauty of Cumbria. Note: This property can be booked with ref. 1201509, together sleeping up to 12 guests.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside with its numerous shops 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 the lakeside at Waterhead with parkland offering lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach. 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. Ambleside has plenty of restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes from great fish & chips to its two Michelin Star restaurants and all tastes in between are catered for.
