One of the best locations for an apartment in the Lakes!To be so close to the lake and boat jetty in Ambleside was amazing, and bus stops just across the road means other destinations are easily reachable.If you’re into people watching and stunning views then this is the place to stay.As previous holiday makers have said the flat itself could do with a bit of sprucing up decoration wise but the facilities are excellent.Shops are just a short walk into Ambleside itself so very convenient.Cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough.
