2 Bedroom Cottage in Ambleside
Five star luxury by the river at the heart of Ambleside! Idle Mill 1 is an impressive apartment set in a slate-built former fulling mill, and you are so close to the action, yet still pleasantly tucked away in your own supremely high-end Lakeland retreat. With all the conveniences of modern comfort, we know you will just love staying with Lakelovers here!
Just offset from the epicentre of cosmopolitan Ambleside, this is high style apartment living at its finest. You will enjoy the proximity of the thriving village centre, with its fascinating array of shops and attractions, cinema and recreation ground, and its superb selection of bakers, coffee houses and restaurants.
You are very close to one of the best restaurants in town, in fact, with the Flying Fleece occupying a portion of the same mill building as your apartment. The old mill retains many original features, including the millrace and wheel. Stock Beck babbles charmingly beneath your windows, and the rustic and extraordinary Bridge House straddles the waterway.
After your explorations of the area and conquests of the fabulous surrounding fells are done for the day, there is nothing better than relaxing in the beautifully presented open-plan living space at Idle Mill 1, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, remarkable views, viewing balcony, and stylish sofas. The quality and luxury is extended to the comfortable bedrooms and their en-suites, too.
Ambleside is an exciting destination all year round, and Idle Mill 1 is a brilliant choice for a party of four to enjoy it to the full.
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.
