Boasting spectacular views, Squirrel’s Nest is a superb second floor apartment at Badgers Rake. With an enviable position overlooking Ambleside with magnificent views over Loughrigg and the Fairfield Horseshoe, it is ideal either for a peaceful and relaxing break or as a fantastic starting point for an incredible holiday either walking or accessing all the local attractions (for both the young and the young at heart).

The living room has a sunny aspect with large picture window where the ever changing scenery can be watched from the comfort of the sofa, whatever the weather. The kitchen offers everything you require should you want to cook and has a picture mirror reflecting the outside view into the kitchen area. A large oak dining table and matching cabinet complements the dining area which in turn leads to the patio doors and a glass fronted balcony, with seating, enabling you to be part of the landscape in comfort. Both bedrooms enjoy views of Wansfell and have wardrobes and bedside cabinets.

Halfway up a hill, it is still within easy walking distance of all the local shops, bars and restaurants that bustling Ambleside has to offer. The Waterhead Pier to catch a boat on Lake Windermere is less than a mile away, with local parks providing a place to gather or rest or as a starting point for countless walks close by to the lakeside. Not often do you find a property with such quality facilities, a large communal garden with a designated BBQ area, spectacular scenery and off road parking so close to the centre of the village.

A comfortable stay

Very clean, very comfortable but, best of all, extremely well equipped (probably as good as I've experienced). Also, the effort put into the Christmas decorations was much appreciated.
