Greenbank House

Greenbank House spreads across three connected annexes in Skelwith Bridge, a hamlet just outside Ambleside. You're stepping into a property that handles ten people without anyone feeling cramped: the first annexe contains a king bed and two singles with a shared bathroom; the second holds two singles and a king with ensuite; the third has a king with ensuite, a double, and bunk beds across three rooms with a family bathroom and separate toilet. The ground floor works well for those with mobility concerns, though there are steps down to the patio area and within the garden itself.

Each annexe has its own kitchen and living space, so you could split into smaller groups if needed. The first and third kitchens have a full range cooker and dishwasher; the second is simpler. All have ovens, hobs, microwaves and washing machines. Living areas come with Freeview, and the first and third also have CD players. You'll find bed linen, towels, wifi and heating included. An external games room holds a table tennis table and table football; an enclosed garden with patio and terrace is where children can run around safely while adults settle in with a book.

The River Brathay runs nearby, with walking routes starting from the property. Parking on site takes five cars. Dogs are welcome and stay free. No smoking inside.
