About this property
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.

We have stayed at Orchard House many times over the years so it's a bit like coming home. It is a beautiful, well equipped house for the three generations of my family. Situated at the top of quite a steep walk up the hill from Ambleside, but with walks from the door and parking for up to three cars. We set up a trail camera this year and recorded foxes, badgers and many different types of bird. There is a (restricted) view across Ambleside to Lake Windermere from this wonderful, peaceful location.

The house is so spacious; it worked perfectly for our large group. The kitchen area was particularly lovely; we could all sit around the table and chat after our long walks. The house is is a great location too.

It was well equipped and the high chair and travel cot were of a very high standard. We were happy that there was a child gate provided which were able to use to keep our little granddaughter safe in the upstairs living rooms - thank you. The whole family had a great time and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
