    I do like Ambleside area and Log House isn't in the town...

    I do like Ambleside area and Log House isn't in the town centre which I prefer, the town centre is almost a mile from Log House but you can get a bus into the centre if needed. Also you can get the boat from Waterhead Pier which is just a short walk from Log House and goes to Bowness and also Lakeside and you can get buses/trains to Keswick and Kendal and lots of other places around the lakes. And Hayes Garden Centre is just minutes away and is one of the largest in the area, lots to see and do and eat in there. As I was there just for one night I just took my own filled rolls and milk and biscuits but if had been a longer stay would have either gone to Hayes Garden Centre for a meal or over the road to Bassa and there are plenty eating places in the area. I like Bowness too and have stayed there for many years and plenty cafes, restaurants and fish and chip shop and ice cream shops and souvenir shops too.

    Ambleside itself is a very sweet little town.

    Ambleside itself is a very sweet little town. We stayed in the outskirts which I would definitely recommend as it gets very busy and overwhelming. The streets and paths are quite small and not built for the foot traffic it gets. It's a really nice spot to visit in the evening for some food or a pint after a long day of hiking. We would recommend The Apple Pie Cafe, and the pizzas at Mama Mia were expensive but very good

    The central location is a good starting point for exploring the Lake district. It is compact but has a good variety of shops and eating places. One car park was generally full bur a second car park is available with lots of space especially for larger vehicles.

    Perfect sized town for having adequate facilities but without the crowds of Windemere. Easy to walk just a short way out to spectacular trails and views, good enough choice of restaurants and cafes to fill a week, lovely park for kids, waterside activities within walking distance.

    It’s very close to Ambleside centre with parking for one car. The kitchen has everything you need and milk, tea and coffee plus dishwasher tabs are very useful. The apartment is very warm with a lovely log burner. Plenty of coat rails and shoe rack for wet walking gear.
