A WINNING COMBINATION OF SPACE, COMFORT, AND CHARACTER

Set out over three main floors, enter Oakroyd from the front and into a long hallway which leads left into a sunny lounge room with deep-cushioned, comfortable sofas to relax back into in front of the TV., the bay window allowing for plenty of light to flood in. The dining room beyond is home to a Morso wood burning stove and offers ample seating for all your party. The newly fitted kitchen beyond is very well equipped with quality appliances, ample storage for all your food items and cupboards thoughtfully stocked with all the culinary items you’ll need for your week’s stay.

A glorious Super-king bedroom sits on the first floor offering delightful views of Loughrigg fell, prettily decorated with plush furnishings and striking accent colours. A spacious and stylish house bathroom has a freestanding roll-top bath, basin and WC and there’s a further shower room on this floor with a large walk-in shower cubicle, basin and WC. The second floor is home to two more bedrooms, both twins with superb views of Loughrigg and Fairfield Horseshoe, one with an en-suite WC and basin. All the bedrooms are furnished with high-quality beds dressed in white linens to ensure a restful sleep.

The basement has good head height and is great for storing all your outdoor clobber. Outside, a fully enclosed courtyard has ample furniture for everyone. A parking permit for use on a number of nearby car parks which can prove quite a saving on the cost of your holiday.

IDEAL QUALITY RETREAT FOR A LARGER GATHERING OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY

The rather splendid Oakroyd is a well-placed, high-quality retreat set in a quiet backwater of Ambleside, the ideal venue for an annual gathering of family and friends seeking a central base, somewhere to spend special time together and create unforgettable holiday memories. A traditional Lakeland stone and slate house, Oakroyd offers a winning combination of space and comfort and ticks all the boxes in terms of your holiday home wish list. Light, bright and tastefully decorated, the owners have taken great care to ensure the excellent facilities are both practical and stylish and set out over three main floors, the views of the surrounding fells get better the more stairs you climb!

Ambleside is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Lake District. Surrounded by magnificent scenery, wonderful walking and cycling opportunities, the village is an obvious choice for the first time or returning outdoorsy visitor. Tick off some of the 214 famous Wainwright’s from the doorstep here at Oakroyd or tackle one of England’s most challenging cycle routes, ‘The Struggle’, 400 metres above Ambleside and the highest road in the Lake District. For a more sedate pace, take a leisurely stroll through Rothay Park, over the stepping stones and along to Rydal Water and Caves, a lovely, scenic route with plenty of picnic and photograph opportunities along the way.

Very convenient, spacious and clean accommodation. Great eateries and walks from the doorstep. Parking was included with passes for one on-road outside property and one additional for local car parks. Recommend using on-road car if returning in afternoon as car parks can get quite busy, but never an issue for us. Friendly and helpful hosts. Well equipped place with iron, ironing board and hoover (in basement) and hairdryers etc included. Highly recommended, would gladly use again.

We had a fantastic few days at Oakroyd. The house was well equipped and in a fantastic location. It is walking distance from the town where you will find some lovely shops and restaurants. Michelle was a great host and answered any queries we had and was very welcoming. Would definitely stay again.

Loved the house. Tastefully done and very comfy. Love the furniture! Everything we needed was there. Tiniest point, generally we watched catch up when in during evening but live TV reception was poor. Not sure if it can be improved. it wouldn't stop us booking again. thanks

This place is PERFECT! The location wad wonderful! We walked to eateries and loved being so close to a Boots and a Coop. One night we didn't get street parking but it was no big deal to park in the lot next door - it is separated by a wall so you do have to walk around the block to get there but the walk is just fine and has a bakery on the way which was great in the morning to grab a sausage roll on the way to the car. We also walked to the waterfall in Ambleside (Stock Ghyll Force) from our place. The parking pass got us free parking in Bowness, Grasmere, and other places and was so great! It really did save us money as we explored the region. The row house itself was so clean and nice! We never cooked and ate there but the kitchen had everything you need and the dining room was spacious! We loved the sitting room where was watched Jubilee events in the evenings. The best park of this place has to be the bathrooms!!! We loved having newly renovated bathrooms with clawfoot tub and rain shower! The bedding in the rooms was top quality! You can't beat this wonderful row house so close to everything yet still quiet and residential. We loved our stay here!

Really great place to stay. Very high standard and conveniently located in Ambleside. Lots of stairs, so might not be suitable for everyone. Would definitely book again. Recommended.

This property is outstanding. It’s absolutely beautiful and will far surpass any expectations. Just everything about it is wonderful. It has been refurbished to a very high standard. The beds are so comfy. The whole house is lovely and warm. The location is perfect, right in the middle of Ambleside but super quiet set back from the main area.

We had a great stay at Oakroyd during October half-term. The cottage is in a perfect location in Ambleside - very close to all amenities, yet set in a quiet street away from all the hustle and bustle. It is spotlessly clean and well-equipped with excellent wifi, much to the relief of the teenage contingent!

Fantastic house really well furnished. Clean and we loved the finer details of the lakes mugs and monopoly game. Centrally situated yet still a quiet street. We would definitely rebook. If any guests like walking I would recommend a walk to the Rydal caves.

Amazing location in the heart of Ambleside (but quiet!). Easy to go for beautiful walks or explore the shops and restaurants in town. The house was sparkling clean and very well kitted out. Great for families or two couples. The team was super responsive. Would definitely come back!
