Overview
Property code: 92317

Located in a quiet 'loop road' with far-reaching views over Ambleside and the Lake District, this ground-floor apartment boasts an enviable position in the heart of the lakes. Ideal for exploring the nearby fells and lakes with Windermere (4.5 miles) and Bowness (7.5 miles) both a short drive to the south, Grasmere 5 miles north and the Langdale Valley 5 miles to the west. Ambleside itself is full of charm, with delightful patisseries, bakeries and bars all within this small town. Why not enjoy your day travelling across the lake with Windermere Lake Cruises or head over to Grasmere to soak up the history of William Wordsworth whilst enjoying the iconic local gingerbread? Fells, tarns and meres are all within reach and any walking adventures are best enjoyed with a refreshing drink at a local inn afterwards.

Entering inside this delightful apartment, you are welcomed into the open-plan living space and instantly taken by the panoramic views. The lounge area offers a comfortable sofa for two, a TV/DVD player and a range of games to entertain on those rainier days. The kitchen comes with high-end appliances and everything you need to rustle up a romantic dinner for two. Enjoy your breakfast at the dining table, where you can plan for your day ahead over a cup of coffee whilst looking across the fells. The cosy bedroom is perfect to rest your head after a day’s walking, with ample storage for all your gear. The bathroom, with its contemporary finishes, makes a great place to soak away those aching muscles in the tub or enjoy a refreshing shower before heading out for the evening.
Outside, you can enjoy a good book on the patio with the afternoon sun whilst overlooking the shared garden.

This is a lovely small but cosy flat with exceptional views and only a short walk into Ambleside with easy access to walks, bike rides, bars and restaurants. The steep hill may not be suitable for all but the views compensate the effort.

Magnificent window views and a good sitting area shared garden in front . The layout is so good you don't feel it's too small at all; all the appliances in the kitchen are really top end and a pleasure to use, as is the bathroom with its brilliantly designed modern shower. Peacefully elevated on the edge of the town but close enough to pop down theRead moren keep fit back up the hill! Perfectly met our 3 key criteria of being comfortable, good views, and parking but throws in a touch of quality too. Hide

Comfortable cottage which has some nice features particularly the kitchen and bathroom which have high end fittings. Be warned the views are there for a reason, it is up a very steep hill which you may not fancy walking up after an evening in Ambleside

Perfect for a couple after a day out in the hills. The views are great and far enough away from the noise so you get a good night sleep.

Had lovely 3 night stay. Beautiful bathroom and very well equipped clean kitchen. Living area a bit dated but views compensate. Found bed very comfy. Nice touch with the welcome pack.

Lovely flat, well equipped with a great shower over the bath. The bathroom looked as if it had just been refurbished. Nice welcoming pack with coffee, a few tea bags and lovely ginger biscuits. The kitchen had dishwasher tabs, washing up liquid, cloths etc. Various books and games available. The view from the decked area was amazing as flat up a biRead moret of a slope. The car parking a bit tight but has a dedicated space for the flat. No hairdryer and no mirror in bedroom. Mirrors elsewhere. Hide

Very high standards of cleanliness and high specifications in kitchen appliances and bathroom. Beautiful mountain views from the patio which is west facing and can be a sun trap. We would love to return at some point!

The flat had everything we needed and was 'home from home'. The views to Loughrigg Fell were delightful as was the bird life in the garden. The proximity to Ambleside was convenient for restaurants and shopping.
