Holiday Homes in Ambleside

Sitting at the head of Windermere where the lake meets the mountains, Ambleside is one of the best-loved towns in the Lake District and a walker's idea of heaven. This bustling, stone-built town packs outdoor shops, cosy cafés and welcoming pubs into a compact centre, with the fells rising on every side and the lake just a mile away at Waterhead. For anyone who wants to be in the thick of it, with walks from the door and the whole of the central Lakes within easy reach, few bases beat it.

The town itself is a pleasure to explore. Do not miss Bridge House, the tiny seventeenth-century cottage perched over Stock Beck and one of the most photographed buildings in the Lakes, or the walk up to Stock Ghyll Force, a tumbling waterfall just minutes from the centre. From Waterhead pier you can step aboard a Windermere cruise or hire a boat, while the surrounding fells, Loughrigg, Wansfell and the long Fairfield horseshoe among them, offer walks for every appetite.

With Grasmere, Coniston and Windermere all close by, Ambleside makes a superb springboard for exploring, yet it is lively enough to fill a holiday on its own with its galleries, eateries and easygoing buzz. Browse our holiday homes in Ambleside and base yourself right at the heart of the Lakes, with the water, the fells and the finest of the national park on your doorstep.
