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.
