Tottlebank is ideally located and suited for both those seeking a relaxing holiday away from the "madding crowd" and those looking to explore the tourist attractions of the Central Lakes. It is a superb base for local, woodland and fell walks, many of which can be reached without the need for a car.Tottlebank is a delightful, individually designed spacious 3 bedroom terraced property on three levels, situated in the prestigious Falls area which is a short walk from Ambleside centre - less than 500 meters, so no need to drive! It overlooks Stockghyll, an area of pretty woodland and tumbling waterfalls cascading from Red Screes above, to Ambleside and the lake below. In summer, with the windows open, the river provides a pleasant background noise to lull you to sleep. The Falls are set in one and a half acres of landscaped grounds on the former site of the old Bobbin Mill. The original buildings have been converted to luxury cottages and apartments with the addition of new accommodation built in the same slate and stone to blend sympathetically into the area. Ambleside a short walk away, still retains its unique atmosphere whilst offering a fantastic variety of shops, including an old style bookshop, numerous cafés, pubs and eateries and two cinemas for those less sunny days. There are also numerous activities as well as a wonderfully picturesque small park with beautiful views and children’s playground on the banks of the Rothay river. There is also easy access to the northern shore of Lake Windermere and the ruins of the Roman Fort at Waterhead. Tottlebank is decorated and furnished to a high standard with meticulous attention to detail, incorporating every modern convenience to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Great place for exploring Ambleside. Steep trek downhill into town and uphill on the way back.

Great place and location is 5 minutes out of town but has a steepish hill to get back.When first arrived place looked clean and tidy. Nicely laid out as well. Few issues when arrived. They didn’t have any tea bags or coffee or any oil to cook. You have to bring all that. Would have been a nice thing to have a some drink and perhaps buscuits or cake like we have had in other cottages.com places. Would recommend this place and Ambleside is beautiful and lots of places to eat,drink and shop
