A charming bungalow resting in one of the most popular towns of the Lake District, Beckside sleeps four guests and offers a homely space to enjoy when not out delighting in the fabulous Lakes attractions. With a contemporary style within along with bike storage and a garden, it has everything you need for a great self-catered stay in the Lake District. Hang up your coats and leave your boots in the hall before finding a snug spot to relax in the L-shaped open-plan living space, where a vibrant green sofa and leather sofa are perched perfectly before the Smart LCD TV and warming gas stove. When the group is feeling peckish head into the kitchen and dining space around the corner to rustle up a tasty dish for everyone, with a beautiful fitted kitchen holding everything you need including an electric double oven, gas hob, and with convenient appliances like a dishwasher and a washer/dryer too, your self-catered stay will be a breeze! A stunning contemporary shower room serves as a wonderful space to freshen up, before settling down in one of the two elegant bedrooms; choose from either the king-size or the twin bedroom, with crisp white bed linen to cosy under as you enjoy a lie-in in the mornings watching TV from the comfort of the covers. Step outside into the spacious patio area outside in the morning with your cup of coffee, with this charming area also perfect for evening drinks after another action-packed day. When you’re exploring the local area, you can leave your car on the drive and venture out on foot, with the many amenities of Ambleside within walking distance as well as the magnificent Lake Windermere. Dine in one of the lovely local restaurants, cafés or pubs with plenty to choose from for all tastes, and browse the independent shops and boutiques for some souvenirs to bring home, with Ambleside also home to The Bridge House, a quirky 17th century stone house resting on a bridge over the Stoke Beck River. Follow the river up to the beautiful Stock Ghyll Force, a staggering 70ft waterfall in an idyllic woodland setting with a fantastic viewpoint to marvel at this natural spectacle, then for a longer ramble head up Wansfell Pike and take in the stunning views of Lake Windermere from here. Hop onto a Lake cruise and travel down along the scenic waters to Bowness-on-Windermere to visit The World of Beatrix Potter, great for all ages, as well as learning of the local history at Windermere Jetty Museum telling the rich history of England’s largest natural lake. Walkers can enjoy an excellent choice of peaks to roam, including Helvellyn, Red Screes, and Fairfield Peak all to the north of Ambleside, while heading south can bring you to the wondrous Grizedale Forest where you can delight in an adventure through the trees at Go Ape where zip-lines and rope courses offer an exciting day out! Store your bikes in the garage and bring them out to explore the Lakes on two wheels, with many cycling routes available to try. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Lakes, returning each day to the comfort of Beckside.
