About this property

The Lake Gables

Set within the charming village of Ambleside, The Lake Gables is a spacious and beautifully presented apartment. Ideally positioned for easy access to the shores of Lake Windermere, it offers the perfect base for a relaxing Lake District escape.



Accessed via steps leading to the front entrance, the apartment opens into a welcoming hallway. Here you'll find a convenient cloakroom and a separate utility room complete with washer and dryer. The heart of the home is the fully equipped dining kitchen, recently updated with modern units and high-quality appliances. From the window, you can enjoy picturesque views stretching towards Loughrigg. A short set of steps leads down into the lounge, furnished with comfortable sofas and equipped with a TV and DVD player—an ideal space to unwind after a day exploring the fells. An additional dining/sitting room offers a wonderful spot to relax while taking in stunning views of the Fairfield Horseshoe, adding a real sense of place to your stay.



The apartment features two generously sized bedrooms: one king-size and one twin, both with their own en-suite shower rooms. In addition, there is a separate family bathroom, providing extra convenience for guests. For added flexibility, a Z-bed can be arranged upon request at the time of booking.



Outside, guests can enjoy a small private patio area with views towards Loughrigg, as well as a secure, lockable bike store—perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Parking is provided with one designated off-road space, along with access to a shared additional space.



Nestled at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, Ambleside is a lively yet picturesque village known for its slate buildings, independent shops, and welcoming cafés. It's an ideal base for exploring the natural beauty of the Lake District National Park, with scenic walks right from the doorstep, including routes to Loughrigg Fell and the dramatic Fairfield Horseshoe. A short stroll brings you to the shores of Lake Windermere, where you can enjoy boat trips, watersports, or simply soak up the views. Further afield, you'll find charming villages such as Grasmere, famously linked to William Wordsworth, as well as Keswick with its outdoor adventure opportunities. Whether you're seeking gentle lakeside strolls, challenging hikes, or cultural highlights, the area offers something for everyone year-round.
