Neighborhood info

We are in the heart of the National Park. Fell walking and mountain biking can be accessed directly from the guesthouse. We are surrounded by some fantastic restaurants, so no need to drive out of Ambleside each evening for good cuisine. We are about 15 minutes walk from the northern tip of Lake Windermere, so lots of opportunities to explore the Lake.
