Ambleside is just a few miles away. The vibrant village centre is well worth a visit; whether you like to relax while sipping coffee in one of the many cafes, visiting historic sites such as the roman fort at Waterhead, or strolling to Lake Windermere for a lake cruise to Bowness or Lakeside. There are plenty of outdoor stores for picking up walking, climbing and biking essentials or for advice on where best to visit the Tourist Information and Post Office offers help throughout the year.
You can hop on one of the Windermere Lake Cruises at Waterhead Ambleside, stopping off on the way to visit Brockhole Adventure Centre, or Wray Castle National Trust property, sailing throughout the Year.
Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park there are countless opportunities to explore the mountains and lakes on foot. There are many walks from gentle lakeside strolls to more strenuous mountain wlaks. Either straight from the cabin door, or after a short car ride you can escape it all and venture far and wide.
There are many places to eat and drink thoughout the area, from traditional country pubs serving the best real ales to high quality eateries. Or if you just want a quick pasty and a hot drink there are plenty of places to suit all budget.

We had an amazing week at Ullswater Cabin. The cabin itself was perfect for a week for a family of 4 with children aged 7 and 10. They loved the table tennis and pool facilities. The location of the cabin is great both on the site itself and within the lakes. We didn’t need to drive for more than 20 minutes to go anywhere (we could have if we wanted to but didn’t need to) and fitted so much into one week. Would definitely recommend.
Date of arrival – 5 April 2025
The property was very cosy and quite serene. There’s plenty of activities in the surrounding area and lovely walks straight from the door of the cabin. Overall brilliant place to stay. Thank you!
We have returned to Ullswater Cabin for a second consecutive year now, and the Cabin once again did not disappoint. Very clean, and simply beautiful, with the most peaceful location. There was very good organisation and contact from the hosts John and Allison, and we certainly hope to return again next year.
