  • "Just as comfortable and cozy as we remember from many visits over the last 36 years."

    A lovely refurbishment too. The struggle back up The Struggle is unfortunately becoming more noticeable with age!

  • "The key pad was a little difficult to access."

    There were no instructions for the dishwasher. Other wise it was an excellent property. We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the building. It had all the necessary facilities and was warm and comfortable.

  • "Only small thing for feedback is that the fan in the bathroom stayed on for the duration of our stay and seemingly didn’t have a timer on it to auto switch off."

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

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, including the popular eateries of Misto, Sheila's Cottage, and The Lily Bar. 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.
