  • Bright and airy apartment with gorgeous views across the countryside and fells
  • Stroll into Ambleside to explore the pretty streets, independent boutiques and quirky cafes
  • Pull on your walking boots and climb Loughrigg Fell for spectacular panoramic views
Property code: SZ040

The beautiful apartment boasts far-reaching rural views and is perfectly placed for exploring the quaint town of Ambleside, as well as enjoying some exhilarating fell walking.

This wonderful property is just 0.5 miles from the centre of the bustling South Lakeland village of Ambleside, where you’ll find a fantastic selection of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to walking opportunities; hike to the top of Loughrigg Fell (3 miles) for fabulous views over Grasmere or wander down to Windermere’s Waterhead Pier (less than 1 mile) for a waterside stroll or a ride on one of the iconic steamers. Lake Windermere is a truly magical place, surrounded by mountain peaks and pretty Lakeland villages – a photographer’s dream. Hop on and off the steamers to ride on the vintage steam railway, visit the aquarium or explore the World of Beatrix Potter.

The first-floor apartment has a spacious lounge, decorated in neutral tones to create a calm and relaxed atmosphere. The room is flooded with natural light, thanks to the large window framing a spectacular view of the nearby fells. The reclining sofa and armchairs are the ideal spot to relax with a hot drink in front of the Smart TV after a long walk. The open-plan kitchen/diner is a bright and airy space, designed with entertaining in mind. Gather around the dining table to plan the next day’s itinerary and, on a hot day, throw open the sliding doors for a spot of indoor/outdoor dining. From here you can access the private balcony – a peaceful spot to relax with a morning coffee, admiring the view. Along a corridor from the lounge, you’ll find the three bedrooms, all decorated in muted tones to create the perfect ambience for a good night’s rest. The first is a king-size with a beautiful en-suite shower room with WC. The second is another bright and airy king-size, which can be made up into a twin on request. Finally, there’s a charming single bedroom with fabulous countryside views. The family bathroom comprises a large walk-in shower and WC.

Outside, discover your own private balcony with a table and chairs to enjoy a relaxing glass of wine whilst admiring the spectacular scenery. You’ll also have access to the delightful, shared gardens. There’s a handy garage for storing bikes, which also has space to park a small car within. There is parking for one car in front of the garage and, should you need it, an additional space in the shared parking area (first come, first served).

A lovely apartment in a beautiful location with a fantastic view over Ambleside and the surrounding fells. Very comfy beds and well equipped kitchen. Its only a short (5-10 minute) walk into town, but this involves a steep hill. We found the Wi-Fi to be quite slow and a bit unreliable.

Ambleside Heights is a great flat from which to explore the town and the local fells. The flat is very comfortable and the view over the countryside is fantastic.

We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment. It was very quiet with lovely views, Everywhere was spotlessly clean and well appointed. The only problem we had was the very weak internet signal. We contacted the agent who arranged for someone to call to try and fix it, but without success. It meant we couldn't download our photos to place on FacebookRead more, or download our daily newspaper. Otherwise everything was perfect and we will certainly recommend it. Hide

The flat was very comfortable and well equipped with fabulous views from the window looking west over Loughrigg and the Fairfield Horseshoe. We didnt have to use the car all week because the shops are within easy walking distance. Beware the walk up the hill carrying heavy shopping though! There are some lovely walks from the flat, up Wansfell PikeRead more, to the waterfall, and around Windermere. Its a great place for a family holiday and we were blessed with continuous sunshine the whole week! Hide

This is advertised as a quality property but we were really disappointed. The whole ambiance of the flat is one of old, tired uncomfortable slightly musty ex council property which is pretending to be a high class high quality venue.

The block of flats was empty apart from us so also rather eerie. On a positive note it is near to the town. Hide

The flat is ideally situated for exploring the local area and has a wonderful view and comfy beds. However, the level of cleanliness and the quality of the kitchen equipment is very poor and quite frankly disappointing! Its very noisy if the upstairs flat is occupied and internet is advertised but we found it very patchy. We wont be back.
