Located enviably in Cumbria's Lake District National Park, Ambleside holiday cottages are always hotly in demand in this beautiful visitor hotspot. Ambleside traditionally sat within Westmorland (home, incidentally, to the finest Motorway service station and farm shop in the UK!) and the biggest natural lake in England. It sits just below the country's highest road pass too - Kirkstone Pass and the landscape s an incredible mix of rolling hills and trees, gracious architecture, pastoral green fields and water, making it an absolute pleasure to visit and to stay in the local luxury accommodation.
Ambleside is recognisable from its stone buildings, Victorian villas, winding streets and a huge array of independent shops, cafes, bars, a cinema and street market stalls - all creating a wonderful buzz. Ambleside holiday cottages are dotted all throughout town, with plenty of accommodation in the rural surrounding areas and all in easy access of the lake, walking trails and the town centre. This is a hugely popular visitor destination in the Lake District, so whether you fancy a luxurious afternoon tea with all the trimmings or a hearty Gastropub meal with a local ale in front of a stove, you'll find something to suit in Ambleside.
From your comfortable accommodation meander over to Waterhead pier and enjoy boating, sailing, paddleboarding or other water sports. Explore the Lake District National Park Visitor Centre at Brockhole, with 30 acres of landscaped grounds, and fantastic family activities such as archery, trekking and more. Mountain bike or walk along with the many walking trails, visit the incredible waterfall at Stock Ghyll Force and stroll around Stagshaw Gardens. There are National Trust properties, museums, a cinema, spas and plenty more attractions in the area too - all in easy access of Ambleside holiday cottages.
Ambleside holiday cottages are the perfect way to experience the Lake District, with dog-friendly accommodation, spectacular views, space for families and groups, parking and even hot tubs!
