About this property

Situated just outside the popular Ambleside town centre in Cumbria lies Rydal Suite, a fantastic ground-floor apartment. Ideal for two couples, this spacious apartment provides all the home comforts you need for a relaxing self-catered stay, no matter the weather. Reached by a long drive, Loughrigg Brow is a magnificent 19th century mansion, formerly the vicarage, set in ten acres of beautiful hillside grounds with security gates at the main entrance

Arriving at the property, the hallway invites you to leave your coats and shoes before making your way into the spacious sitting room. The sitting room boasts grand Victorian windows offering fantastic views of the surrounding forest and over to the mountain range, Fairfield. Make your way to the kitchen/diner to cook up a storm for your family; the kitchen hosts an electric oven and hob, a handy washer/dryer and a dishwasher. Dine as a group at the large dining table or the breakfast bar, there is also a reading chair to admire the views. For an alternative dining arrangement, head outside to the private patio for your meals alfresco, or an evening glass of wine in the last of the summer sun.

Choose from two bedrooms, both fitted with king-size beds and storage for your belongings, One of which with an en-suite bathroom whilst the other has it's own shower room (shower and wash basin) plus access to the Jack-and-Jill cloakroom/toilet.

Ambleside has many restaurants and pubs to choose from, such as Misto for contemporary Italian cuisine, the vegetarian Zeffirellis or the micro brewery Tap Yard or if you can't tear yourself away from your dwelling, pop out to The Crafty Giraffe Food Shack for a delicious takeaway to enjoy in your home-from-home.

For days out while at the apartment, be sure to visit Ambleside Stock Ghyll Force, which is a delightful walk away from the property. Walks from the door keep everyone happy, you can stroll to the lake for cruises and boat hire, or ramble through the park to the centre of Ambleside for local shopping and eating out.

History buffs however can enjoy an afternoon at the Armitt Library & Museum Centre, learning all things Lake District, and the Ambleside Roman Fort, which dates back to the second century! Also in the area is the National Trust's Wray Castle, where you can wander the grounds of this Neo-gothic 1800s castle, and the The World of Beatrix Potter known for being a favourite among Peter Rabbit fans and literature lovers. Watersport enthusiasts can travel south the vast Windermere Lake for an abundance of opportunities including kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, and you can even take a boat journey if you prefer. If you still have energy after these exciting activities, make your way to Grizedale National Forest to burn off the rest with plenty of walking and cycling paths to discover, while wrapped up in picture-perfect nature.

For a holiday with memories you will cherish forever, choose Rydal Suite.

Resting at the norther tip of England’s largest lake, Lake Windermere, lies the popular town of Ambleside. The town is home to plenty of shops, pubs and eateries and is a haven for walkers, cyclists and explorers. Varying landscapes and terrains can be found in the town, including woodland, lakeside footpaths, mountains and of course, a lively high street.

    We have traveled regularly for 40 years. By far this is the nicest place we have ever stayed. The apartment was fitted with everything we needed and then some. Views were stunning. Everything about the experience was magical

  • George

    Woke very early with light. Might be helpful to have curtains in the bedrooms to keep out at least some of the early morning light.

  • Steve

    I honestly cannot think of any negatives, well done! Looking forward to visiting again same time next year
