Perfect for exploring the vibrant Lakeland town of Ambleside, where much is on offer, from sampling the many cafes, restaurants, and pubs to perhaps visiting the cinema. Take a steamboat trip or maybe hire a motorboat, canoe, or rowing boat on Lake Windermere. Walks with spectacular scenery abound, this is a great base for exploring the Lake District National Park with its many attractions including mountain biking, high- and low-level walks, water sports, spectacular scenic drives, historic houses, gardens, villages, Roman forts, and ancient stone circles to name a few. The choices are endless.

Entry into this contemporary apartment through the boot room which has plenty of hanging space for outdoor clothing and a boot rack for those muddy boots and shoes. Head through into the open-plan living area, a light and airy space, and the hub of the house. The kitchen area is outstanding with everything you need to fulfil your culinary needs. There is a sociable seating area, perfect for breakfast and snacking or just chatting, in addition to the formal dining area which has a dining suite. The lounge area has a comfortable sofa, perfect for relaxing and unwinding, chatting about your day, or perhaps watching the wall-mounted Smart TV.

Heading to the back of the apartment is a beautifully furnished bedroom king-size bedroom and bathroom with a separate shower and bath plus WC, great to enjoy a soak after a day out and about.

5 star accommodation in a lovely setting. Nice and warm, beautiful bathroom and big comfy bed. Close to Ambleside and all its great amenities. Very steep hill back with limited pavement and street lighting.

We stayed at Willowbank Retreat for 5 days / 4 nights and it definitely wasnt long enough. It was so light, spacious and relaxing, I wouldnt hesitate to book again. It was really clean and had everything we needed. It was ideally located just a 10/15 minute walk from the town (up a rather steep hill but not too challenging). We were able to walk toRead more Rydal Caves/Loughrigg Fell/Wansfell Pike from our stay so never had to pay for additional car parking. Cant wait for our return visit. Hide

Overall a lovely cottages, but feel it needs a few "tweaks" to make it outstanding.

This is a beautifully furnished and comfortable apartment with lots of thought put into the finer details. Such as a light over the mirror in the bedroom and sockets for hairdryers etc. A very generous welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits and chocolate was provided. All from local outlets.

The flat was warm and welcoming on our wet arrival. Lovely location away from the village, peaceful with a very good sized garden. We really enjoyed our week.

We enjoyed a lovely break at Willowbank Retreat which has everything you could want for a relaxing stay. My wife has already talked about a return next year. The only thing to be aware of is the steep clime up from the town and wasn't really on option on foot for us.
