  • First-floor apartment with spectacular views, thanks to its elevated position
  • Less than 1 mile to the magical shores of Windermere, England’s largest natural lake
  • Exhilarating walking opportunities such as the Fairfield Horseshoe and Loughrigg Fell
Property code: SZ041

The apartment, in the pretty village of Ambleside, sleeps four guests and is a great base for exploring the area surrounding Lake Windermere, as well as enjoying some spectacular fell walking. Take a short stroll into the village centre (0.5 miles), where you’ll find a fantastic selection of independent shops and quirky eateries. A 1.5-mile uphill walk takes you to the magnificent Stock Ghyll Force waterfall, nestled in a wooded glade. This is a shady, tranquil spot and a great choice on a hot afternoon. For something to get the heart pumping, try the Fairfield Horseshoe. As well as the accomplishment of ticking off no less than eight mountain summits, you’ll also be rewarded with some absolutely jaw-dropping scenery.

This modern apartment has a bright and airy lounge, with spectacular views across rooftops to the dramatic fells. Sink into the reclining sofa or armchairs after a day of exploring to watch a good film on the Smart TV. The stylish kitchen/diner is equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher and has a lovely wooden dining table where you can enjoy mealtimes together whilst admiring the beautiful scenery. You can also access the private balcony from here. The property has two spacious king-size bedrooms, decorated in a calming, contemporary style. Both rooms boast large windows, filling the spaces with natural light, as well as ample storage. One of the bedrooms has a fantastic en-suite shower room with WC. The family bathroom completes the apartment and has a walk-in shower and WC.

The private balcony is accessed from the kitchen/diner. This is a peaceful spot to recharge with a morning coffee or reflect on the day over a glass of wine. You’ll also have access to the delightful, shared gardens. The apartment has a garage, which is ideal for storing bikes and also has space for one small car. There is also parking for one car in front of the garage, as well as a space in the shared parking area (first come, first served).

Lovely clean apartment with a great view. Soon warm and cosy and had everything you would need in the kitchen. Parking is tight if you have a large car and there is a long steep climb up to the property. Very quiet.

Everything you would need is in the beautiful apartment. The beds are unbelievably comfortable. The view is to die for. We had such a wonderful stay. We would thoroughly recommend doing the Ambleside Ferry to Windermere, have a walk around and catch the ferry back to Ambleside. It makes for a lovely day out. Plenty of parking nearby. The cost of thRead moree ferry was 17 return. There is also a cruise (blue ferry) that is a circular route . Hide

It was easy to access walks such as Wansfell Pike and the local waterfall or the Walkers Route alongside the lake from the Ambleside Pier, without needing a car.
