Region: Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes, the Lake District has it all. From walking in the mountains to exhilarating watersports or just a gentle cruise on a steam-powered yacht, Cumbria is the perfect holiday destination.
Town: 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.

An amazing place to stay. Fabulous location for closeness to Ambleside and great walks on the doorstep. The home is gorgeous with great a menu and all the rooms are of equal size and quality. Highly recommend
The bedrooms are very large and the communal areas spacious, and the facilities are excellent from TVs in each room to the heated porch / boot room, outside hose and electric charging point, to a separate utility room, and games room with pool and football tables. Immaculately presented and a great location in the centre of town, but in a quiet cul de sac. Nothing not to like!
