Scafell, Ambleside, Cumbria - Sleeps 4

Scafell is a spacious apartment just a stone's throw from the centre of Ambleside. Sleeps 4 guests across 2 bedrooms. This property accepts one well behaved dog

If you're looking for a little taste of Lakeland grandeur. Scafell is a spacious apartment within a magnificent 16th century gentleman's residence, 5 minutes walk from Ambleside. Ground floor private entrance with space for walking gear & bikes. Lovely staircase leads to the 1st floor apartment, into an elegant open plan lounge and dining room, with huge Georgian windows, a small viewing balcony & fabulous fell views.

The modern kitchen offers views towards the Fairfield Horseshoe. Both luxurious bedrooms have a bathroom each too. 1 pet dog is welcome and babies and children too. Private parking right outside. Ambleside is a contemporary, characterful Lakeland village with a spectacular backdrop of Lake District fells.

Ideal for walking, cycling or boating activities, it is also a lovely spot for contemporary shops, leisurely lake cruises, award-winning Lake District restaurants and cosy traditional pubs. There are 2 cinemas, a Jazz bar and the Lake Cruises leave regularly from Waterhead, a great way to explore without driving.

The tiny 'Bridge House' is one of the most photographed places here, sat on a bridge in the middle of the village. Oh, and don’t forget our Roman fort, Galava. One of William Wordsworth's former family homes can be visited nearby at Rydal Mount & Gardens. His Grasmere home, Dove Cottage, is also worth a visit and only a short drive away on the scenic A591.

You can also head over the equally scenic Kirkstone Pass to the beautiful Ullswater Valley.
