About this property
Oak Howe is a stylish Lake District bolt hole, with accomodation for one or two couples, in a quiet and elevated setting just a short distance from the centre of Ambleside. The property has an impressive range of features and amenities which include free WiFi, smart en-suite bedrooms (set apart for privacy and with TVs), a luxurious sitting room with a woodburning stove and a contemporary fitted kitchen. And there’s also a pretty, furnished garden. This is a great location for a group holiday, where you can take things at your own pace. Things to do include taking a cruise on Lake Windermere, browsing the many boutique shops and nights out in Ambleside. The area is also a hiking hotspot with lots of Lakeland Fells on the doorstep - so no need to use a car.
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. 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.
