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.

The accommodation is of a high standard. The kitchen is compact but very well designed with all you need. The apartment had a design-like feel to it with features such as the vaulted ceiling and large picture window. It was a 10-15 minute walk into town, (uphill on way home) which wasnât a problem as we donât mind a walk. The only slight problem we encountered was with the access road as it was very narrow with cars parked perhaps where they shouldnât be but you just have to take your time and itâs fine. We are planning a return visit. If youâre contemplating whether or not to book, just do it!

It was stylish, cosy, clean and well - equipped. We ate in almost every night as we were so comfortable and tired after a dayâs walking, we didnât want/need to go out. Weâll definitely stay again.
