The big kitchen/diner, which features Velux windows and an electric oven and hob for preparing hearty meals, is found on the ground floor. When supper is ready, take a seat at the table and raise a glass of bubbly to commemorate the event. After that, head downstairs to the lower ground floor to find the snug, which features a wide corner sofa and is ideal for a movie night. As the evening draws to a close make your way upstairs where you have a choice of three bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and two double rooms, complemented with wood furnishings, one is on the first floor, while the other two are on the top floor. A hot shower awaits you before joining your visitors for a steaming cup of coffee from the Nespresso machine as preparations for the day are made. Situated in the lovely village of Ambleside where you can pick up a souvenir from a gift shop, White Platts Miniature Golf for some family fun, and the Ambleside Climbing Wall to test your stamina, are just a few of the attractions on your doorstep. A scenic journey will take you to the beautiful Lake Windermere, which is great for enthusiastic walkers and watersports enthusiasts; nearby is The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, where you may relive your childhood memories. Visit the market town of Keswick for a unique learning experience at the Derwent Pencil Museum and a fascinating indoor adventure at Puzzling Place. Stay at the delightful Netherbeck to discover the Lake District's hidden jewels.
Ambleside, located near the northern extremity of England's largest lake, Lake Windermere, is an excellent location for exploring the middle Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here, including cruises, boat trips, and watersports on Lake Windermere, as well as a variety of shops, restaurants, and pubs to satisfy all interests in the hamlet. The parkland at Waterhead gives beautiful views down the lake and a brief stretch of beach, while a walk in the opposite way, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, leads to the enchanting Stock Ghyll Force waterfall.

Carolyn
The kitchen and baths looked new, and all the rooms were well-decorated. It was a perfect location for visiting the town of Ambleside and for taking short hikes nearby. Our kids loved their rooms on the top floor. This home is very comfortable, and its functionality was as reliable as we had hoped. Thank you for sharing this with us and for allowing us to visit the Lake District!
