Boasting spectacular views, Squirrel’s Nest is a superb second floor apartment at Badgers Rake. With an enviable position overlooking Ambleside with magnificent views over Loughrigg and the Fairfield Horseshoe, it is ideal either for a peaceful and relaxing break or as a fantastic starting point for an incredible holiday either walking or accessing all the local attractions (for both the young and the young at heart).
The living room has a sunny aspect with large picture window where the ever changing scenery can be watched from the comfort of the sofa, whatever the weather. The kitchen offers everything you require should you want to cook and has a picture mirror reflecting the outside view into the kitchen area. A large oak dining table and matching cabinet complements the dining area which in turn leads to the patio doors and a glass fronted balcony, with seating, enabling you to be part of the landscape in comfort. Both bedrooms enjoy views of Wansfell and have wardrobes and bedside cabinets.
Halfway up a hill, it is still within easy walking distance of all the local shops, bars and restaurants that bustling Ambleside has to offer. The Waterhead Pier to catch a boat on Lake Windermere is less than a mile away, with local parks providing a place to gather or rest or as a starting point for countless walks close by to the lakeside. Not often do you find a property with such quality facilities, a large communal garden with a designated BBQ area, spectacular scenery and off road parking so close to the centre of the village.
Free WiFi

There are large gaps between banister spindles.
Pets must be kept on a lead at all times.

Very clean, very comfortable but, best of all, extremely well equipped (probably as good as I've experienced). Also, the effort put into the Christmas decorations was much appreciated.

The location was excellent, even with the steep climb up the hill! Although that gave us fantastic views from the living room and kitchen balcony. One small issue, some of the kitchen utensils could do with an upgrade, but we managed fine. Parking space and garage really useful. We particularly liked the large living room with faux open fire and beautiful peaky views. Had a fantastic time, probably our best trip to the Lakes so far and Badgers Rake made for an excellent nest  Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This apartment is in perfect location This apartment is in perfect location. Watching the sunset over the mountains, birds flying around the garden and watching the bats come out in the eves. A short walk to town. Waterfall nearby. The apartment it self was well equipped with everything you need. Plenty of space for 4 people. Drinking coffee on the balcony watching the sunshine on the mountains. Could do with a lick of paint above the balcony, but it hasn’t put me off, i’ve booked to stay there again next year Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Badgers Rake is a great apartment for exploring the wonderful Lake District landscape and mountains

Badgers Rake is a great apartment for exploring the wonderful Lake District landscape and mountains

Badgers Rake is a great apartment for exploring the wonderful Lake District landscape and mountains in the Ambleside area. You can walk out the door and up amazing mountains and are on the foothills of the Fairfield Horseshoe - a classic Lake District mountain walk. A real highlight of the apartment is the views from both the large sitting room window and the balcony off the dining area as the apartment is on the 2nd floor of the building - absolutely stunning views of the Horseshoe mountain range! It's a bit of a steep 10 minute climb walk out of Ambleside centre to the apartment - not for the weak or frail. But what do you expect when you're in the Lake District! You're going to be walking up some steep hills. Lots of amenities and places to eat & drink in Ambleside. Good facilities in the apartment too. Also lovely and quiet as you're out of the town centre. Thoroughly recommended - I will be revisiting this apartment- but out of season! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Excellent views over Ambleside from the large windows and the balcony. Up a steep hill so unsuitable for anyone unfit or young children. Very comfortable double bed (didn't try the two single beds). Well equipped kitchen. Lounge furniture dated and a little worn. Bathroom spacious but could do with updating. Bath with shower over. Heating is difficult to control (warm air, storage heaters).

Location is up a steep hill so if you struggle with walking it may challenge. The view is worth it! Picture window sets the panoramic aspect. Beds great. Rooms all very nice and overall very clean. Few minor bits but nothing much to bother over. Our toilet broke but maintenance came within an hour without problem and fixed it. Quiet location in residential area which suited us but again up several flights of stairs - made for a great view! Hairdryer, towels, nice quality bedding, we all said we would return.
