About Overbeck

Overbeck is a two-person riverside bolthole sitting on the banks of the River Rothay in Ambleside, Cumbria. You reach it via a private footbridge already that tells you this place is something special. It sits at the end of a row of three properties and looks directly out over the river.

Ambleside town centre is right on your doorstep. Waterhead Pier is just 1 mile away. Bowness-on-Windermere is 6 miles and Keswick is 17 miles. Riverside walks start literally from the front door and you can spot herons, ducks and otters from the shared lawned picnic area at the water's edge.

Overbeck sleeps 2. Downstairs is an open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area with large picture windows facing the river and a wood burner. The private patio overlooks the Rothay. Upstairs is one super-king-size bedroom and a contemporary bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

Nearby: Ambleside town centre (0.5 miles), Waterhead Pier (1 mile), Bowness-on-Windermere (6 miles, 15 mins), Keswick Market (17 miles, 30 mins).
