Ambleside also houses a Roman Fort and access to the fantastic Lake Windermere where there are loads of opportunities for watersports, wild swimming and lake cruises. Walk through the scenery at Elterwater, following the riverside trail towards Skelwith Force and seeing what wildlife you can spot along the way.

All of this and so much more with a stay at the delightful Fell View.
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.

The property is spacious and very well equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday. As someone else has also mentioned there is a slight damp smell in wardrobe in the main bedroom but that didnât worry us we didnât use it we used the wardrobe and drawers in the second bedroom. Plenty of birds in the garden to watch from the raised decking area, we took a nut feeder with us and hung on the fence by the gate in the garden it didnât take long for the birds to find it! Fell View was ideal for the 2 of us we had a very enjoyable week based there and exploring the Lake District. We would definitely stay again if returning to the area.
