Steppingstones Riverside Terrace - Viewpoint
Westmorland and Furness
View on Google MapsRydal Hall sits in one of the Lake District's most visited corners, where footpaths lead straight into fells and the river Rothay runs past the garden. Steppingstones Riverside Terrace – Viewpoint occupies the quietest spot in its small development, set back enough that the patio catches long views across water and moorland. The building itself is modern and energy-efficient, with underfloor heating and an air source heat pump; inside, local artwork and natural light offset the practical design. Everything on one level: an open-plan living space with log burner and patio doors, a properly equipped kitchen, one bedroom with a kingsize bed and ensuite bath, another with two single beds and walk-in shower.
Ambleside town centre lies within walking distance, packed with independent shops, restaurants and pubs; Waterhead Pier sits even closer. The cottage works for couples or small families, though children under 10 are not accommodated. Essentials like linen, towels, heating and Wi-Fi are covered; there's parking for two cars on site and a private garden to use. The location trades flat convenience for genuine quiet—worth the trade if you want river air and open country within arm's reach.

A very modern two bedroomed accomodation just outside Ambleside, one mile and 10 minutes walk to Rydal for the bus. Even though seems to be in the middle of nowhere, it was a great location. Each bedroom had an ensuite. And it had everything you needed. Parking for two cars even EVs can be charged. You have to go along a single track lane but not an issue. Lovely sitting and seeing the country side.

Absolutely superb holiday accommodation. Great location, superb views from floor to ceiling windows, big kitchen dining and sitting with wood burner, luxurious beds, towels and bathrooms. Our second stay over Christmas and we’ll be back for sure. 👍

Just spent a relaxing few days in this stunning property. It is cleverly designed to focus the open plan kitchen, dining and living area on the beautiful view down the valley, The luxurious ensuite bedrooms are at the back where you can hear a small waterfall tumbling down the hill. Very few cars pass by along the single track road but plenty of walkers and cyclists do - and a fair few jet fighters fly up the valley! If you see the stepping stones check them out. Don’t delay as they disappear after a heavy rain storm!
