Nestled in the centre of Ambleside, just a few steps from pubs and shops, this modern apartment offers modern indulgences with quintessential Lake District views. Enjoy a soak in the freestanding bathtub after a hike on the fells, or gather with friends or family on the private terrace for drinks. For sunset views of the town, though, you'll want to retreat to the stylish open-plan living space – the fireplace makes this home extra-cosy on chillier nights. With so much to do on your doorstep, you might not spend much time at home after all – but you'll certainly want to.

About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
