  • "Generally the kitchen was well supplied, but no pasta bowls, which is slightly puzzling."

    Also some tongs would be useful. Oh, and the temperature lettering on the oven is badly eroded making it difficult to see what setting the oven is on.

The property

Offering a perfect base for an escape to the Lakes, Swirl How is a fantastic ground-floor, detached property situated in the attractive town of Ambleside.

After undergoing substantial refurbishment, Swirl How boasts a beautifully appointed interior, with majestic views of the town’s church spire set before the wonderful Loughrigg and rolling hills, creating a scenic backdrop for your stay.

This holiday home is set in the heart of the National Park, perfect for exploring the wonderful Lake District by car or bus, with a wide choice of gorgeous and acclaimed walking trails available right from the doorstep, making this perfect for a family or a group of couples seeking outdoor adventure.

Enter into the elegant lounge and admire the lovely coordinated fabrics, with the room enjoying an abundance of natural light from the windows and the full-height double glass doors which lead out onto the patio.

Relish this outdoor space in the warmer months, whether in the early morning with a hot drink, or later in the evening as the last of the sun fades, surrounded by your loved ones and sipping a refreshing drink as you admire the views.

Find a welcoming dining area to be the perfect spot for your delicious home-cooked feasts, well placed between the exquisitely appointed lounge and the contemporary kitchen, with the latter being home to an excellent array of appliances to make use of in your culinary endeavours, alongside some handy laundry facilities including both a tumble dryer and a washing machine.

After a long day of excitement, wind down within one of the three bedrooms, choosing from a king-size, a double and a single bedroom which also boasts a trundle bed beneath, so it can be a twin on request to suit your group!

Two bathrooms serve this immaculate property, with a shower room and a bathroom to get ready in for your day of adventure.

Take a fifteen-minute walk to the centre of Ambleside to enjoy some retail therapy at the independent shops and enjoy a bite to eat at one of the many excellent restaurants, cafés and pubs.

Ambleside’s historic Roman Fort dating back to the 2nd century can be found near the edge of Lake Windermere, whilst the former Roman settlement of Borrans Park makes a great place for a picnic with stunning lake views.

Offering a great idea for a rainy day is Ambleside Climbing Wall, whilst heading down to the ferry landing in Waterhead means you can hop on a Lakes cruise and discover even more attractions in the nearby towns; head to Bowness-on-Windermere for The World of Beatrix Potter or travel to Lakeside for the Lakes Aquarium.

Find plenty to do in the Lake District on your relaxing retreat to Swirl How.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

Where you’ll be staying

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
