Accommodation Details

First floor apartment. Two bedrooms: 1 x double, 1 x twin with en-suite shower room with baisn and WC. Bathroom with shower over bath, basin and WC. Kitchen. Sitting room with dining area.

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.

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.
