Perfectly located close to many of the Lakes District’s top attractions, yet set back to offer a tranquil stay.

Sitting in a slightly elevated position with views out over Loughrigg fell, this property offers the best of both worlds: Ambleside village, with its pubs, restaurants and shops and the attractive, undulating landscape of fells and beautiful Rydal Water.

Also within easy reach of the popular village of Grasmere (3 miles) or the bustling Windermere.

Dora's Field is a semi-open woodland in Grasmere, renowned for fine displays of bluebells and daffodils, was once owned by William Wordsworth.

Just a short walk from Ambleside you’ll find Stagshaw Gardens, an informal woodland garden which in the spring and summer bursts into life with an absolute blaze of colour and wonderful scents.

Bridge House stands over Stock Beck in the middle of Ambleside as a quirky reminder of Ambleside’s past; it is a 17th-century survivor.

Explore a quirky farmhouse with an even quirkier family at Townend, a 17th century farmhouse The Brownes were just an ordinary family of farmers, living in Troutbeck near Windermere, but their quirky home at Townend and their belongings bring to life over 400 years of extraordinary stories and characters

There are excellent walking opportunities amidst beautiful, unspoilt countryside there are dozens of walks from the door step with the Fairfield Horseshoe providing a good days walk for the more adventurous.

Alternatively get the steamer down the lake to visit other villages or walking on the the shores of lake Windermere (10 miles long). Or simply chug to the Lakes Aquarium at Lakeside which takes a look at the marine life of Lake Windermere. You can combine this with the ferry to Fell Foot where you can hire rowing boats or sailing craft, simply swim or picnic by the shore or let the young ones loose on the adventure playground.

While over to the west lies Coniston Water, and in between there’s Grizedale Forest. A day out in itself for walking or mountain biking or tackling the impressive ‘Go Ape’ high ropes course. Beyond this lies the central massif of the Langdales for some high level walking and climbing.

So if you want to walk, cycle, sail climb, ride, explore, fly or cruise this unique area has an abundance of woodland walks as well as fell walking, coastal walks, cycle paths and quiet leafy lanes to explore or you can name your adrenaline rush and you’ll find it! Bicycles are not allowed in the apartment but there is a separate storage room with fixings to facilitate locking.

Alternatively just relax on the sunny balcony and watch the world go by.

A lovely property in an excellent location. It was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. All the info needed about the property during our stay was clear and at hand. We found the maps and walks books extremely helpful. The property is also ideally placed for stunning walks, a few craft shops and eating places without having to use the car! We would definitely recommend a stay there and will hopefully be returning next year. Thank you Lesley Kind regards Zoe and Andy Zoe

There may be a better venue to stay in this area, but there's no way I would waste another second of my life trying to find it as long as Underhill is available. It has everything you could possibly want inside the accommodation, together with a few things you didn't know you wanted until you'd stayed there. It's very much a home away from home, with a wonderful location right in the town but high enough up to feel like you are out of town whilst offering a superb panorama from the bedroom and lounge area. We really couldn't fault it. Like any property, it has a few of its own little idiosyncrasies, which you soon get used to and we were very sad to have to leave when it came time to. The only note of caution is that the road up to the property is steep in places, as is the short cut into town, so perhaps not suitable for anyone with mobility restrictions. Would highly recommend.

This apartment has stunning views over Ambleside. It proved an excellent base to explore the Lakes being so close to shops and transport links. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge area very comfortable. We had a fantastic break and the hosts could not do enough to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Recommended.
