This attractive apartment is perfect for a couple seeking a cosy and romantic base for two. It’s located in the charming village of Staveley, just outside of Windermere and Ambleside, making it a superb base for exploring the Lake District. The area is perfect for cyclists, with nearby cycling routes suitable for all skill levels. We love the apartment’s river views, and the private patio where you can unwind with a tipple in the evening.

About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
