Property code: OC-LR092

An elegant and stylish apartment that retains lovely, traditional features, set in the picturesque town of Ambleside. Escape to this romantic retreat with your loved one and your dog.

Step into your private porch and into this ground floor apartment’s hallway. Hang up your coats and shake off the dog’s lead before heading through to the welcoming, open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen. To one side, a contemporary and spacious kitchen has everything you need for creating casual breakfasts or romantic dinners. Eat at the dining table that is set in front of the floor-to-ceiling bay window which overlooks the town. Keep paws and toes toasty in front of the wood burner in the lounge, which contains comfortable seating, a Smart TV, and even a piano, for those musically inclined. As the night draws in, snuggle up in the sumptuous bedroom which contains a king-size bed, set beneath a beamed ceiling. An en-suite bathroom has a shower over the bath, so you can soak away after busy days exploring. Finishing up the interior is a handy drying room, great for storing wet coats and dog towels. A cosy balcony has outdoor furniture where you can enjoy an evening tipple. Private parking is provided for one car.

Ambleside is one of the most dog-friendly towns in the Lake District, with several shops and pubs (500 metres) where your canine companions are welcomed with open paws. Of course, many walking routes are available from here, such as the woodland trail leading to the cascading Stock Ghyll Force (1 mile), and the rewarding climb up Loughrigg Fell (4 miles). Head to the shores Lake Windermere (0.5 mile) and hop on the cruise around the lake, or sniff out adventures on waterside walks.

Koru is a warm, comfortable and spacious property. Great location close to Ambleside's shops and restaurants, and an easy walk from the bus stop if arriving by public transport.

Our third year at Koru. It suits us perfectly: spacious, comfortable, well-located. A good choice for a couple wanting a central location for a Lakeland holiday.

Really lovely, cozy cottage, 5 mins walk from the town centre. Our third stay here and the cottage never disappoints.

Great location with plenty of restaurants and bars close by and plenty of nice walks on your doorstep. Would definitely stay again. Information regarding directions and entrance to the property along with parking details were great.
