About this property

Fairfield View is a terraced property occupying a charming quiet position on the outskirts of Ambleside, Cumbria. Set over three floors with picturesque fell views, Fairfield View is a wonderful base for families, couples and groups of friends looking to spend some time in the Lake District. Upon arrival, pull into the off-road parking for two cars, ready to start your adventure. Enter on the ground-floor to find a super-king-size room (named Ambleside View), complete with an en-suite shower room & dressing area. Take the stairs up to the first floor and explore the living areas; here, you will find a well-equipped kitchen to assist with your home-cooking and Fairfield View (sitting room) which is sure to make you feel at home from the moment you step in. Enjoy a night in from the Smart TV or make your way to the rear patio and enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple as you reflect on the day. The remaining bedrooms rest on the second floor, including two king-size & one double sized room, individually named (Wansfell, Loughrigg Fell & Great Rigg) with glorious country views, along with a family bathroom with bath and shower over. Surrounded by rolling hills, lush woodlands, and nestled at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, the largest natural lake in England, Ambleside offers a postcard-perfect setting. The bustling town is a 10 minute stroll is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a plethora of activities such as hiking, mountain biking, water sports and popular trails like the Fairfield Horseshoe and Loughrigg Fell providing breathtaking views of the surrounding fells and lakes, while the picturesque Stock Ghyll Force waterfall is a short walk from the town centre. On your return, choose from a selection of welcoming pubs, tea rooms and restaurants for dining options, whilst there are supermarkets and convenience stores if you would prefer to cook yourself. Luxuriant gardens and woodlands, such as those found at Wray Castle and Brockhole on Windermere, provide tranquil retreats for those seeking a slower pace whilst Windermere is also a hub for cultural experiences, with art galleries, museums, and theatres showcasing the region's rich heritage and creative spirit. However you choose to spend your time in the Lake District, it will be one to remember when you stay at Fairfield View.

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, including the popular eateries of Misto, Sheila's Cottage, and The Lily Bar. 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.
