Luxury self-catering accommodation in Ambleside
At the northern tip of popular Lake Windermere, this pretty little town is backed by lush green fells under expansive skies: visit to walk, sail or relax.
Tucked into the heart of the Lake District National Park, Ambleside looks down onto the long stretch of Lake Windermere and it's no wonder walkers and boaters alike are drawn to this busy town. Hikers can relax and explore the ancient leafy footpaths, sauntering across bluebell woods and through the cobbled streets before sipping a local brew in an old inn. For a different experience, seasonal horse rides make a change from all that hearty climbing.
The Lakes draw mountain lovers from all over the world. From those looking to amble slowly under trees on ancient public footpaths to those who race to perch on top of the Scafell Pike, there’s a Lake District self-catering holiday for all. For the seasoned hiker in search of solitude, Buttermere is a land of fairy-tales hidden through a winding valley of rolling fells which open onto a world of adventurous possibility, and ice-cream so good it’s impossible to resist in a blizzard.
