    “What a fabulous holiday home right in the centre of the beautiful town of Ambleside.”

    So clean and nicely appointed with absolutely everything we needed, including a cafetiere, hairdryer, corkscrew and other little things that are sometimes forgotten. We were a party of 6 adults so we liked that the double beds could be made up as twins. When this hadn't been done for us, as requested, on our arrival, it was quickly corrected once we alerted the company. Likewise when one of the en suite toilets stopped flushing, it was dealt with immediately and they also replaced the kettle ...

    So clean and nicely appointed with absolutely everything we needed, including a cafetiere, hairdryer, corkscrew and other little things that are sometimes forgotten. We were a party of 6 adults so we liked that the double beds could be made up as twins. When this hadn't been done for us, as requested, on our arrival, it was quickly corrected once we alerted the company. Likewise when one of the en suite toilets stopped flushing, it was dealt with immediately and they also replaced the kettle that stopped working while they were there. Great service! Lots of good shops, cafes and restaurants in Ambleside if it's a rainy day and you choose not to do one of the many lovely walks in the area. Liked how the owners had provided walkingbooks etc. I've stayed in many holiday homes in the Lakes over the years and this is certainly one of the best. We will definitely return. Only downside is parking and if it was a busy time of the year it might be more challenging but we eventually got parked in the Rydal Road car park after a few circuits waiting in someone to leave.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

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.

Please note this property has 3 zip link beds. These will be made as a King by default. Please contact the call center should you wish it to be a Twin.
There is also a starter pack of wood on arrival
