Located in the private falls development, overlooking majestic waterfalls and fells beyond and only a short walk from the bustling Lakeland village of Ambleside.

Light, spacious and stylish throughout, this lovely apartment in the pretty village of Ambleside boasts wonderful river and waterfall views. Sleeping six people over three bedrooms, it’s the perfect accommodation option for families or groups of friends who want to spend their days hiking at Loughrigg Fell or kayaking at Windermere, and their evenings taking in the pretty views from the apartment’s balcony or meeting the locals in the cosy pubs and restaurants of Ambleside.

Walk up the external stairs to the main door of your apartment and step inside. Take a moment to make yourself at home in the lounge before heading through to the stylish kitchen to cook yourself a delicious meal. Get the whole gang together to eat at the large dining table. After dinner, pour yourself a glass of something cool and crisp and enjoy some quality time on the balcony taking in the lovely views of the waterfalls. Alternatively, head to the lounge to chill out on the sofa and catch up on your favourite TV shows. When the day is done, you’ll find three gorgeous bedrooms on the first floor.

Get your loved ones together to explore Lake Windermere. Ambleside’s Waterhead Pier (1.5 miles) dates back to 1845 and offers ferry rides to Bowness, Newby Bridge, Wray Castle and Brockhole Visitor Centre. During the summer, you can even take a 1-mile horse-drawn carriage ride from the centre of Ambleside to Waterhead Pier. Back on dry land, take a stroll to Stock Ghyll Force (1 mile), a spectacular 70-foot-tall waterfall. If you’re lucky enough to be there in spring, the area from the viewing point is carpeted in daffodils. Or head off to the National Trust’s Stagshaw Gardens (2 miles) to stop and smell the rhododendrons and azaleas.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Location is perfect for a short walk into town. Parking in the garage is tight but more than fine. The cottage was warm, comfortable and just what we needed. Even managed one afternoon to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the views of the waterfalls.

Came to support son in hill climb race Couldn't believe we where by the start line. Our cottage was well beyond expectations Very luxurious. The location was perfect with plenty of walks near by. We spent the week and this wasn't enough to check everything out. Will return again during a different season as the view changed dramatically in just oneRead more week. The view to the front was a mass of beautiful gold leafed trees which changed daily it was like a living picture. Hide

Had a really lovely stay for a week with our 10 month old. Property was very clean, super comfy and a lot bigger than I expected. Couldnt fit our SUV in the garage for parking but used the visitors space no problem. Very well equipped (including a super helpful highchair) and a great location for Ambleside. Highly recommend

Great place for a group of friends. Short walk to Ambleside, lovely location by the waterfall. The house was well equipped ( although no corkscrew - luckily we had our own) . We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. Ambleside has many lovely restaurants and good links to other Lakeside villages such as Bo'ness.

Lovely flat with good equipment, able to use the balcony in the evening sun thankfully as the walk into and back to town is too much for us at our age but we thought not to be a problem for those more able.

Great property, clean and well equipped. Location is great, it's a lovely walk into Ambleside as long as you don't mind a steep hill on the way back!! It would have been good to have a few basics provided such as washing up liquid.

We had a comfortable stay in Millbeck Cottage and enjoyed a mix of meals in and out. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there were enough dishwasher tablets for the first few days.

The cottage is in a beautiful location and well worth the walk up and down the steep hill into town. It is warm, spacious but cosy. On the down side, comfortable seating for 6 in the lounge is lacking and a bit squashed with only 2 armchairs and a 3 seater sofa. Also, the garage is very narrow even for a standard car making parking a bit difficult.Read more Overall though, we had a wonderful, relaxing stay and I would highly recommend this place. Hide
