Luxury Apartment in Central Ambleside, Balcony, Fabulous Views, Fully Equipped

Beautiful bright fully equipped and renovated apartment on an elevated position above the picturesque town of Ambleside at the heart of the Lake District National Park.

Your apartment is southwest facing on the first floor of this development. Accommodation is on single open plan floor; the large windows and balcony off the lounge take full advantage of sunny days and amazing views of Ambleside, Loughrigg fell and the Fairfield Horseshoe. Great for watching the sun go down after a day's walking or sightseeing.

Underhill provides a real home from home, the perfect base for exploring the magnificent countryside, lake and villages or a place to simply just relax and holiday; you will leave you with many happy memories of your stay. There is off street parking, although the apartment is positioned so that a car is not required. The apartment is serviced with stairs or a lift.

The spacious open plan living room has two new comfortable stylish sofas (one soft, one firmer), good secondary lighting, foot stool and coffee table. The elevated position and the angled large windows takes advantage of the panoramic view of Ambleside and fells both near and far as well as a glimpse of the lake. Local artists’ ornaments or pictures.

A bathroom with underfloor heating has been renovated with stylish italian porcelain ceramic tiles. Very large multi jet shower. Separate eco bath (note its narrow) and heated towel rail. A selection of Arran Aromatic toiletries provided.

New 32" Sony Bravia smart flat screen TV with freeview play including BBC Iplayer, Netflix and ITV player . DVD including huge selection of DVD's. Echo dot, BOSE Bluetooth speaker/radio (Soundtouch 10), two echo dots.

The kitchen and breakfast bar were renovated in 2020.

Large spacious bedroom has a super king bed with a new deep sprung comfortable mattress. Wonderful view through floor-to-ceiling windows of Loughrigg fells. Good main and secondary lighting. Hair-dryer provided and a second TV for a late Sunday morning.

The West facing balcony looks down on Ambleside and across to Loughrigg fell providing great views whichever way you look. Modern balcony furniture includes four chairs and table, ideal for an evening drink or late morning breakfast.

Entrance hall with underfloor heating and large cupboard for outdoor clothes.

Modern new kitchen in 2020 with dishwasher.
Stone work surfaces and breakfast bar with stylish bar stools. Seating for 4, and good quality utensils, Nespresso coffee machine and frother. Oven, microwave , dishwasher etc.

The main room and hall each have a large wardrobe, together with the bedroom drawers there is masses of storage space in the apartment.

In the open plan lounge there is room for the pull-down double bed (the second bed) and wardrobe, which has a comfortable pocket-sprung mattress.

The apartment has quality fittings throughout many replaced recently. A washing machine is available on the Lakelands site - contact reception to use it.
All linen provided (including facecloths) so no need for extra packing.

All electric heating. Free wifi with boosted signal and filtered content.

Private parking (always an advantage in the centre of Ambleside). Access by stairs or lift from a glass atrium with amazing views of the town rooftops and fells. from the lounge and bedroom.

Short (steep) walk down to town or steps (100 yards). But the steps or path can be avoided by a gentler walk down the road - 300 yards
Weeks run Saturday to Saturday but we do try to be flexible if the calendar allows. Weekends and short break bookings are sometimes available - please enquire and we will try and accommodate your requirements.

Sorry pets not allowed.

Perfectly located close to many of the Lakes District’s top attractions, yet set back to offer a tranquil stay.

Sitting in a slightly elevated position with views out over Loughrigg fell, this property offers the best of both worlds: Ambleside village, with its pubs, restaurants and shops and the attractive, undulating landscape of fells and beautiful Rydal Water.

Also within easy reach of the popular village of Grasmere (3 miles) or the bustling Windermere.

Dora's Field is a semi-open woodland in Grasmere, renowned for fine displays of bluebells and daffodils, was once owned by William Wordsworth.

Just a short walk from Ambleside you’ll find Stagshaw Gardens, an informal woodland garden which in the spring and summer bursts into life with an absolute blaze of colour and wonderful scents.

Bridge House stands over Stock Beck in the middle of Ambleside as a quirky reminder of Ambleside’s past; it is a 17th-century survivor.

Explore a quirky farmhouse with an even quirkier family at Townend, a 17th century farmhouse The Brownes were just an ordinary family of farmers, living in Troutbeck near Windermere, but their quirky home at Townend and their belongings bring to life over 400 years of extraordinary stories and characters

There are excellent walking opportunities amidst beautiful, unspoilt countryside there are dozens of walks from the door step with the Fairfield Horseshoe providing a good days walk for the more adventurous.

Alternatively get the steamer down the lake to visit other villages or walking on the the shores of lake Windermere (10 miles long). Or simply chug to the Lakes Aquarium at Lakeside which takes a look at the marine life of Lake Windermere. You can combine this with the ferry to Fell Foot where you can hire rowing boats or sailing craft, simply swim or picnic by the shore or let the young ones loose on the adventure playground.

While over to the west lies Coniston Water, and in between there’s Grizedale Forest. A day out in itself for walking or mountain biking or tackling the impressive ‘Go Ape’ high ropes course. Beyond this lies the central massif of the Langdales for some high level walking and climbing.

So if you want to walk, cycle, sail climb, ride, explore, fly or cruise this unique area has an abundance of woodland walks as well as fell walking, coastal walks, cycle paths and quiet leafy lanes to explore or you can name your adrenaline rush and you’ll find it! Bicycles are not allowed in the apartment but there is a separate storage room with fixings to facilitate locking.

Alternatively just relax on the sunny balcony and watch the world go by.

A Stunning Property
A lovely property in an excellent location. It was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. All the info needed about the property during our stay was clear and at hand. We found the maps and walks books extremely helpful. The property is also ideally placed for stunning walks, a few craft shops and eating places without having to use the car! We would definitely recommend a stay there and will hopefully be returning next year. Thank you Lesley Kind regards Zoe and Andy Zoe

Long weekend winter break
There may be a better venue to stay in this area, but there's no way I would waste another second of my life trying to find it as long as Underhill is available. It has everything you could possibly want inside the accommodation, together with a few things you didn't know you wanted until you'd stayed there. It's very much a home away from home, with a wonderful location right in the town but high enough up to feel like you are out of town whilst offering a superb panorama from the bedroom and lounge area. We really couldn't fault it. Like any property, it has a few of its own little idiosyncrasies, which you soon get used to and we were very sad to have to leave when it came time to. The only note of caution is that the road up to the property is steep in places, as is the short cut into town, so perhaps not suitable for anyone with mobility restrictions. Would highly recommend.

Lovely Christmas getaway
This apartment has stunning views over Ambleside. It proved an excellent base to explore the Lakes being so close to shops and transport links. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge area very comfortable. We had a fantastic break and the hosts could not do enough to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Recommended.

We having been traveling throughout the UK for 6 months, staying at many places, and this apartment was one of our favorites! The apartment has an amazing view that never gets old, reserved parking, a great kitchen and lounge, and a great shower. The bed was one of the most comfortable we've slept in these many months. The balcony is a wonderful bonus. Ambleside is a very pleasant town to explore and call 'home'. It is also ideally situated. Keswick is too far north, Kendal too far south, and Windermere too frenetic. Ambleside is just right! Communication with the owner was great and we simply can't sing the praises of this apartment enough. We highly recommend it to anyone wishing to visit the Lake District.

Excellent location, great view of town and fells, near shops, restaurants, buses. Comfortable bed and seating, kitchen works. Very quiet. I had problems with Vrbo messaging communication, but this is not owner’s fault. This is a great place—my stay was two weeks, and not long enough.

Relaxing stay at Underhill
Underhill provided us with a perfect base for our latest visit to Ambleside. The apartment was comfortable, very well equipped and tastefully furnished. Views from the lounge area were stunning, both of the town and the wider environs. Close proximity to the town was a definite advantage too! It was our second visit to the flat….. we intend to book again when we next visit the area.

Amazing few days in Ambleside. The apartment was brilliant with everything you could possibly need Lots of small details thought of such as throws / candles / dvds to make it a relaxing, cosy winter stay. Location is right in Ambleside with private parking. A steep 2 minute walk to the village gives access to all the amenities. Would highly recommend this apartment.

Fantastic Week!
It’s not often you stay somewhere where you can find no faults with the accommodation, location, and weather, but this past week we managed to do just that. Yes, we were probably lucky with the weather being so exceptional but you take what you get right. The apartment is absolutely immaculate and the owners have left no stone unturned in making sure you have everything you need for a perfect vacation. It’s comfortable, spacious, has fantastic views over the town and the fells, and is located conveniently to reach so many areas of the county. We had an amazing week and will definitely be back again in the future. Thank you Lesley!
