Set in the heart of the Southern Lakes, in the picturesque town of Ambleside, this characterful apartment makes the perfect base for couples seeking outdoor adventure amongst breathtaking scenery. The surrounding landscape is teeming with walking trails to explore, including the Fairfield Horseshoe, Loughrigg Fell, and Wansfell Pike (all within 6 miles), and you’ll also be just 1 mile from the shores of Lake Windermere.
A flight of external, slate steps lead to the traditional Lakeland retreat. Inside, the ground-floor apartment is bursting with character, thanks to the property’s exposed beams and stonework. At the heart of the home is a warm and inviting lounge/kitchen/diner with slate flooring and a cosy wood burner set in the original fireplace. Prepare delicious dinners for two in the country-style kitchen area, which you can share at the wooden dining table. In the evenings, snuggle up on the leather sofa to read a book from the selection provided, or watch a movie on the TV. When day turns to night, retire to the elegant double bedroom, which has its own dressing room and reading area. A contemporary bathroom completes the apartment. Outside, sip a sundowner on the terrace and admire the distant fell views. Private parking is available for one car.
Ambleside is a traditional Lakeland town with quaint cottages, historic buildings, and a great selection of cosy pubs and cute cafes. After wandering around the independent shops, take the short, 0.5-mile stroll to the spectacular waterfall at Stock Ghyll Force, where you’ll also find the iconic Bridge House. From Waterhead Pier, 1 mile away, you can board a ferry to take a relaxing cruise across Windermere, or perhaps hire a rowing boat or paddleboard to explore at your own leisure.
