Applegarth is a mid-terrace Victorian townhouse in the heart of Ambleside, Cumbria. Finished to a high standard, this handsome property sleeps six and features exposed stonework, a wood burner and an open-plan living space. Note: this property does not have a hot tub. What it does have is serious style and a location that puts you right in the centre of one of the Lake District's most popular towns.

Ambleside is a proper Lakeland town. Lake Windermere is just over a mile away. There are local pubs, an independent cinema and shops all within walking distance. Cyclists will love the secure rear bike storage. Walkers are spoilt for choice with The Old Man of Coniston just 7.5 miles away.

Three bedrooms sleep six. The second-floor master has a super-king bed, exposed stonework and a private en-suite with a roll-top bath. The first-floor double and twin both have their own TVs and share a stylish slate-finish shower room.

Windermere Lake Cruises are 1 mile away. Claife Heights walk at Far Sawrey is 10 miles. Coniston Water is roughly 8 miles (20 minutes). Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's farmhouse at Near Sawrey, is around 9 miles (22 minutes).

Applegarth suits families and groups of six who want a well-equipped base in central Ambleside. The wood burner, quality kitchen and brilliant location make this a seriously good Lake District booking.
