Property information

Walker's Retreat is a stylish ground floor apartment a short walk from the centre of Ambleside near Lake Windermere in the Lake District. The property can sleep three people in two bedrooms, including a king-size double, a single room and a bathroom boasting a kidney-shaped bath. The rest of the cottage offers a fitted kitchen and a sitting room with a gas fire and sliding doors leading to a patio with wonderful views towards the town of Loughrigg and Loughrigg Fell, while outside, steps lead up to the parking area where you will find off road parking for one car. Situated just outside the delightful village of Ambleside, Walker's Retreat is the perfect base for a holiday exploring the Lake District. Note: Property not suitable for children under 12 years.

Neighbourhood information

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, Englands largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes. 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. Apart from 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.
