Is Squirrels Ambleside Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
This apartment is not suitable for children. The property sleeps only two people in one double bedroom with no additional sleeping arrangements. The waterside location with an unfenced pond presents safety concerns for young families. The quiet setting and couples-focused layout make this better suited to adult guests rather than family holidays with children.
For Couples
Perfect for couples wanting a peaceful Lake District escape. The double bedroom opens onto a private patio overlooking the pond where you can watch wildlife together. Enjoy morning coffee outside or evening drinks listening to owls. The open-plan living space creates an intimate atmosphere. Seasonal access to the on-site pool, jacuzzi and sauna adds relaxation. Walk hand-in-hand on trails starting from your door.
Pet Friendly
Dogs are not allowed at Squirrels Ambleside. The property operates a strict no-pets policy so you cannot bring any animals during your stay. While the grounds attract red squirrels and local wildlife that you can observe from the patio, the apartment itself is not suitable for guests travelling with their own pets or companion animals.
