WATERHEAD RETREAT, family friendly in Ambleside
Waterhead Retreat in Ambleside, Cumbria sleeps four in two bedrooms.
Amenities: Electric storage heating. Electric oven with halogen hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer, TV, DVD, WiFi. Fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Private parking space plus visitor parking. Video entry system. Pubs and shops nearby. Lift. Sorry, no pets and no smoking,
Please note: sofa bed can be used for occasion's, own bedding use been used.
Region: Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes, the Lake District has it all. From walking in the mountains to exhilarating watersports or just a gentle cruise on a steam-powered yacht, Cumbria is the perfect holiday destination.
Town: 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.
