Lakeland Holiday Park

We spent a wonderful, peaceful, week in this quirky Studio/Cottage in Ambleside, Cumbria. From the road the building looks like a quaint olde worlde cottage, however at the back, the Studio part of the building is raised up so that the Living / Dining area has an unspoilt view of Lake Windermere.
Inside the accommodation is comfortable having 3 average sized downstairs bedrooms, 1 double, 2 twin bedded rooms. There are 2 bathrooms on the ground floor one with a bath the other has a walk in shower. A deceptively small but well stocked kitchen with plenty of storage space, has a staircase leading to a huge studio bedroom with 2 single beds and a set of bunk beds, with huge picture window overlooking the Lake, there is another bathroom on this level. Downstairs, off the kitchen leads to a spacious Living / Dining with patio doors to a small balcony area, to sit out on, admire the views and soak up the sun.
Down a flight of steps and within 3 strides you are paddling in the cool water of Lake Windermere, or stroll down the small jetty and feed the family of swans who know where their bread is buttered! The children had so much fun feeding them! Not to mention swimming in the frankly, chilly water!
Ideal for a large family or groups of friends, (there was 9 of us) the Studio will sleep 10 and there is plenty of space for the whole family to sit and eat and then relax in the evenings.
There is a ferry across the lake for day tripping, 3 minutes walk away and for general shopping Ambleside is a mile away on the local bus. Kendle is 12 miles away for the more seasoned shopper, although why you would need to shop is beyond me. We just chilled out and spent time relaxing, a few day trips to Windermere, Grasmere and Hawkshead, was as strenuous as it got.
The sun shone (mostly) the kids played in the water, the wine flowed and the wrinkles smoothed! In fact we were so pleased with our destination we are going back again this year, for 2 weeks of total relaxation. Bliss!
