Whitriggs Retreats - Willow Retreat

Whitriggs Retreats - Willow Retreat is a contemporary apartment tucked beneath the owners' home in a quiet corner of Ambleside. Built into the lower ground floor, it has its own entrance and sits just above the town, positioning you between the fells and the streets of independent shops, galleries and restaurants that make Ambleside a natural hub for Lake District visitors.

Inside, a single open-plan level contains everything: a living space with smart TV, a kitchen with gas cooking and full appliances, a bedroom with king bed, and a shower room. Bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are provided, along with gas central heating. One parking space sits on site. The property is non-smoking throughout, and access involves a single step at the entrance.

Fell walkers find routes directly from the doorstep—Stock Ghyll Force and Loughrigg are close by, and the broader Fairfield round is within reach. A walk down to Ambleside takes you past the River Rothay to cafés, pubs and local independent businesses. Lake Windermere offers sailing and kayaking for those wanting water rather than height. The accommodation suits couples looking for a base that is neither remote nor in the thick of things.
