The property

Swallowdale is a charming, ground-floor apartment, situated in the lovely town of Ambleside, a tranquil base only a short distance from the bustling town centre.

With such a perfect location for exploring the Lake District National Park, Swallowdale is an ideal dwelling for a couple, looking for a getaway to Cumbria.

Park off-road and take a few steps to enter into the main entrance hall, with storage for your outdoor gear and a handy drying cupboard.

Step inside to discover a spacious and beautifully styled living/dining area.

This bright and welcoming space invites you to unwind, whether you’re planning the next day’s adventures or savouring a delicious meal at the dining table, accompanied by a glass of something special.

The well-equipped kitchen boasts an array of modern appliances, providing everything you need to create culinary delights with ease.

Step through the attractive, French doors with a book and a drink, then relax in the sunshine on your private patio; watch the sun set over the distant fells and explore further into the shared gardens which offer magnificent views to the Fairfield Horseshoe.

Rest up in the well-appointed, plush double bedroom and make use of the spacious storage, after taking a relaxing soak in the bath or a soothing shower.

Ambleside is a small, yet bustling town nestled in the heart of the Lake District National Park and is the perfect spot from which to tour the surrounding villages, lakes, and breath-taking countryside.

The village offers a selection of tasty eateries and pubs, independent stores, a convenience store for your holiday essentials, and a golf course.

If exploring the area on foot appeals to you, forget the car for your entire stay; set off to enjoy the many beautiful, and dramatic walks and trails that make this part of the world so special - whether it’s level, peaceful riverside walks through Rothay Park or a challenging climb to the stunning fells, you will find it close to your doorstep.

Why not fill your time by exploring the tennis and crown green bowling facilities or catch the latest film at the cinemas?

At Windermere, discover an array of watersports, lake cruises, or even try out wild swimming, and hikes through the scenery include those at Todd Cragg, Skafell Pike, and Red Screes.

All of this and so much more with a stay at the delightful Swallowdale.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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 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.
