Imagine sitting on the private slate terrace with a glass of wine, watching cattle wander down to the banks of the River Brathay or the sun setting over the magnificent Lakeland fells.

This luxury property comfortably sleeps six guests with three en-suite bedrooms, one of which is conveniently located on the ground floor. This makes Barakat an ideal choice for families with multiple generations or groups seeking a peaceful retreat. The home features a light-filled and well-equipped kitchen-dining area, a sumptuous sitting room, and plenty of off-road parking. Please note, due to its peaceful location, the property is not suitable for party bookings. Book your stay at Barakat for an unforgettable break in the beautiful Lake District.

The village of Ambleside is situated in the heart of the Lake District surrounded by plentiful natural beauty and full of Cumbrian charm and rich history. History can be found on Barakat's own doorstep with a 2nd century Roman Fort ruin that can be found less than a two-minute wander away! Towards the centre of the village Stock Ghyll Force can be found, a spectacular 70-foot waterfall or perhaps more familiarly there is the National Trust owned 17th Century Bridge House over Stock Ghyll beck is one of the most recognisable and photographed scenes in Lakeland! While Ambleside remains distinctly popular with walkers, climbers and those looking to get out and about on the lake, there is no shortage of shops, cafes restaurants and a local cinema.
