The Ambleside Rambler

A compact, contemporary home in a quiet corner of Ambleside, this apartment is perfect for solo travellers and couples looking to enjoy the best of the Great British countryside. On the lower floor, you'll find a double bedroom and en-suite bathroom decorated in soothing neutral tones that help slip off into a serene sleep.

Head upstairs to the main open-plan living area, with a sophisticated dark blue colour scheme, pendant lighting and elegant mid-century-inspired furniture. At the end of the space, bi-fold doors slide across to unveil an outdoor terrace, dining area and barbecue for alfresco dining on endless summer evenings backed by far-reaching views of the landscapes that inspired Wordsworth.

Away from the home, you're just a five-minute walk from the centre of the vibrant market town of Ambleside. Located at the tip of Windermere, the town is the gateway to all things Lake District. Here, you'll find mountain hikes, mouthwatering tasting menus and everything in between.
