Self catering cottage in Ambleside, Cumbria

Positioned within arm’s reach of the ripples of Lake Windermere is this contemporary ground-floor apartment, Waterside. Set in arguably one of the best locations for views over Lake Windermere and the surrounding hills and mountains, Waterside has everything you could hope for from a Lake District holiday.

Right on the shores of England’s largest lake you can sit on the banks of Waterhead or relax in the comfort of your own lounge and watch the Windermere cruiser loading and unloading daily before setting sail. Enter the apartment through a share entrance and be welcomed into the spacious lounge/diner where a sofa and two armchairs face the window and offers lovely views over the lake, you can sit before the TV to enjoy a nice film in the evening to unwind.

Get busy in the kitchen where hues of pale blue make for a fine décor and a great range of appliances can assist you with all your self-catering needs. The master king-size bedroom offers a tranquil spot to catch up on your rest, while the other bedroom is a single and benefits from a neutral colour scheme to complement the relaxing ambiance while blending into the beautiful external scenery.

To the front of the property is a patio area with furniture where you can sit and people watch, or head over to the Lakeside Bar and restaurant to relax with a fine meal and drink with your loved ones. You don’t have to go far to enjoy the Lakes, with Windermere and its lake cruises right on the doorstep, you can enjoy water sports, lake walks or take around a ten minute stroll into Ambleside and discover all that is on offer, from unique gift shops to outdoor clothing retailers, supermarkets and farm shops for tasty local produce, as well as a plethora of pubs, restaurants and cafés to enjoy.

Bowness is an easy drive away and has more shops, a cinema, bars and other attractions including the Beatrix Potter Gallery, or take a trip over the Kirkstone Pass to Ullswater for more water sports, adventure centres and the Ullswater Steamer. This fine retreat awaits your arrival, to a stunning part of Cumbria.
