Description

A mere three miles to the south of Windermere, Ings is a great location for enjoying a relaxing trip to the Lakes; close enough to enjoy the more popular tourist hotspots of Bowness and Ambleside but far enough away to benefit from the peace and quiet of a semi rural location. The quaint hamlet of Ings has good facilities, a local shop, garage and award winning pet friendly country pub, The Watermill, as well as some wonderful walking and cycling into the Kentmere Valley.
Ghyll Close is a comfortable, modern home, spacious for six with two seating areas arranged around the wood burning stoves. Both rooms look out over the green gardens, ideal for holidaying outdoors whenever the weather will allow. Perfect for couples and families alike. Ghyll Close is particularly suitable for those with mobility difficulties as it offers a spacious king size bedroom and bathroom accommodation on the ground floor.

Windermere, Staveley and Troutbeck Bridge holiday guide

About the local area

Lake Windermere is perhaps the best know area in the Lake District and Windermere village itself is about 1km from the lake. The lake stretches from Waterhead, near Ambleside, to Lakeside at its narrow southern end, over 10 miles in length and the largest lake in England. Wooded slopes dotted with cottages and houses line its shores, while the water itself is usually busy with ferries and yachts.

Windermere is not as busy as it's near neighbour, Bowness-on-Windermere, but has its own charms and attractions. It has excellent amenities and a good selection of shops, restaurants and bars all within easy reach. The village has good public transport links with its own train station and bus routes.

Troutbeck Bridge lies to the north in between Windermere and Ambleside; handy for both but located just off the beaten track. Troutbeck Bridge has its own local amenities including a public swimming pool and a local pub. Between Troutbeck Bridge and the Low Wood Hotel lies Brockhole - The Lake District Visitor Centre. This has an adventure playground, exhibitions, cafe, shop and extensive grounds down to the lake and jetty.

Situated between Kendal and Windermere is the lovely village of Staveley which is often referred to as the Gateway to the Lakes. It mainly comprises of grey slate buildings which are nestled between the Rivers Kent and Gowan. It is ideally placed for exploring the rest of the Lake District and is only a few minutes away from the beautiful Kentmere valley.
