About this property
Ambleside Haven is a fine retreat for families or couples who are looking for fun and adventure close to Ambleside village. A short walk will take you to the shores of Lake Windermere and the surrounding area - which is great for hikers. The property is a smart and stylish ground floor apartment, with two bedrooms set over one floor. Cosy and comfortable, Ambleside Haven is the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Set in lovely gardens, with a delightful patio area, a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an aperitif. The property is conveniently situated in a sleepy location just a short stroll from shops and restaurants in the village centre. Waterhead Pier at the north of Lake Windermere is close by and here you can catch a steamer to Bowness and Lakeside and more attractions.
For those who enjoy the great outdoors, an array of walks start at Ambleside, including walks along the shores of Rydal Water and Grasmere, whilost the hike up Loughrigg Fell is ever popular. For those who enjoy more of a challenge the high fells of the Fairfield Horseshoe can be tackled directly from your door.
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.

But it is a Souterrain so nothing is going to dry in there, the floor was still wet when we arrived and there is Little daylight. There is mold in the bathrooms and the corners. Otherwise good renovated flat with new furniture although the bed. was rather hard. Lakelovers handed us the wrong key on arrival, seems to be rather usual After Reading the comments. Perhaps a key locker would be better?
