About this property
River Falls View is a beautiful retreat, delightfully perched above Stock Ghyll Force and just a short stroll from Ambleside centre.
Families and couples will enjoy the peaceful location of this beautifully presented two bedroom apartment.
On entrance level you will discover a cosy living room complete with deep-cushioned sofa and patio doors looking out onto the balcony. A modern and well-equipped kitchen provides all the utensils you might need for a self-catering family holiday and a twin bedroom with luxury power shower room. Head downstairs and you’ll find a tranquil master bedroom with Victorian brass bed and Villeroy & Boch en-suite.
The balcony is a highlight of this property, the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee with delightful views of the passing stream. Under cover parking is provided for one car and the property features a private ground floor entrance.
The property is close to the spectacular Stock Ghyll Force waterfall, which families can enjoy safely from a railed viewpoint. A ten minute walk downhill will bring you to the centre of Ambleside where you can enjoy gift shops, galleries, modern eateries and an array of outdoor clothing stores. Home to two independent cinemas, a vibrant jazz bar and traditional Lakeland pubs; Ambleside has plenty to offer day and night.
Ambleside is one of the most easily accessed Lakeland towns and a great base for exploring the wider Lake District. A short walk from River Falls View will take you to Waterhead on the northern shore of Lake Windermere where you can hop aboard a cruise to explore Bowness and beyond. Regular buses run from the centre of Ambleside to the nearby villages of Grasmere, Langdale, Hawkshead and Keswick.
Nestled in peaceful woodland, River Falls View is the perfect Lakeland hideaway for families wishing to explore Ambleside and the surrounding Lake District region.
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.

Also the instructions to the property could have been a little better. All you need to say is, eit the car port to the right, the door is next to the flats marked 17-21. As is is hardly noticeable until you go past the entry to the flats.

The apartment was clean and really homely. Had everything you could need. The view of the falls was beautiful and the sound of the river was so relaxing. Itâs a truly lovely apartment and we would definitely recommend

The beds were particularly comfortable. The location is great for touring the lakes as it is quite central and its a nice short walk into town
