The Lake District has long inspired poets and artists, the clear waters and green mountains drawing in creative souls of all kinds – and now that includes you. This chic, contemporary home is perfectly placed for exploring the lush landscapes that Wordsworth wrote about, without cutting you off entirely from the modern world. Right in the heart of Ambleside, a charming English market town, this home is decked out with all the mod cons like Sky TV, a state-of-the-art coffee machine, and a gorgeous bathtub that's ideal for a long soak after a day of exploration. And of course there's also the attractions – there's a wealth of pubs and restaurants within walking distance and a cosy fireplace to return to and curl up in front of in the evening.

Local guide
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....
