About this property
Nestled in the heart of the popular tourist town of Ambleside rests this contemporary ground-floor apartment, Tower Lodge. Set within a characteristic stone-built building and boasting a homely interior, Tower Lodge offers a romantic setting for your next escape to The Lakes. An off-road parking space greets you upon arrival to this lovely dwelling, leading you over the threshold and into a handy hallway space, perfect for kicking off your muddy boots and storing your walking gear away from the main living areas. Put your feet up and unwind with a cup of tea as you settle down on the sumptuous corner sofa, enveloped in the stunning natural light that floods the room through the towering windows, framing magnificent views of the rolling fells in the near distance. Venture into the adjoining kitchen, beautifully-appointed with a contemporary interior, and perch at the sociable breakfast bar to indulge in a refreshing glass of wine as the budding chef prepares a romantic meal for two, heading back through to the living/dining room to serve at the intimate dining table. As the day draws to a close, retire to the delightful double bedroom to end your evening cosied up with your significant other, watching your favourite film from the comfort of the covers before drifting off to a nights embrace. In the morning, kickstart your day with a revitalizing rinse in the stylish shower room before heading out on an adventure.

damp and you could not put your clothes in the wardrobe because they smelled fusty if you are going to Tower lodge I would take a electric fan heater with you

Ideal for our dog. Was very clean. Only downside is the bathroom floor was very cold, and we couldn't get the towel rail to work. We were worried about its location, but it was very quiet and would love to go back.
