About this property
Staying at a traditional stone-built holiday home in Ambleside places friends and family right in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Just over 1 mile away, the northern shores of Lake Windermere at Waterhead make for the perfect group day out. Hire kayaks, try paddleboarding, or board a scenic cruise. Loughrigg Fell (2 miles) is a rewarding yet manageable climb with panoramic lake views. Alternatively, the starting point of the Fairfield Horseshoe (3 miles) opens up a full-day ridge walk with sweeping Lakeland vistas. Take a stroll 0.5 miles to Stock Ghyll Force, where a dramatic 70-foot waterfall tumbles through peaceful woodland. For a cultural escape, head 4 miles to Dove Cottage in Grasmere, once home to William Wordsworth and full of atmospheric literary history. Bowness-on-Windermere (5 miles) boasts lively lakeside cafes and attractions, while the quieter charm of Coniston (8 miles) provides a tranquil setting beneath its rugged mountain backdrop.
The property has been thoughtfully refurbished to a high standard, blending character with contemporary comfort. Entry is on the second floor, where you're welcomed into a generous open-plan living area. Here, a comfortable lounge with Smart TV flows into the dining area and modern, well-equipped kitchen, all framed by lovely views from the lounge and dining windows. Upstairs, four inviting bedrooms are dressed in warm, calming tones to create a restful retreat at the end of each day. There's a king-size room, a double, and two twins, providing flexible accommodation. These are served by a sleek en-suite shower room and a stylish family bathroom for a relaxing soak at the end of the day.
Outside, shared grounds bordered by woodland offer a natural setting, with the sounds of the babbling river creating the backing track to your stay. Two covered parking spaces add everyday convenience, with a height restriction of 1.95 metres.
