Meadowsweet is a beautifully styled holiday apartment in the heart of Ambleside, sitting within the Lake District National Park in Cumbria. The enormous bay window frames breathtaking views across Ambleside and towards Loughrigg Fell a genuinely impressive feature that sets this apart from most Lake District lets. Locally crafted artwork lines the tall light-filled hallway as you arrive.

Ambleside is one of the Lake District's most walkable towns. Stock Ghyll Force waterfall is just half a mile away. Windermere's northern shores at Waterhead are a mile down the road where you can hire kayaks or join a scenic cruise. Loughrigg Fell is two miles away for a rewarding half-day hike.

The apartment sleeps six across three bedrooms. A super king-size master with en-suite shower room. A second king-size room with window seating and TV. A twin room with single beds featuring its original fireplace. Two bathrooms family bathroom with bath and shower plus the en-suite.
