In the heart of Ambleside.

Herdwick Heft is an old Lakeland stone property in the heart of Ambleside, dating back to the late 1800's.

Lovingly modernised and tastefully furnished with style, comfort, and extra touches throughout, this chic apartment is a perfect idyll for couples or the single traveller in the heart of the beautiful Lake District.

Why is it called 'Herdwick Heft'?

Stunning landscapes, lakes, and mountains.

The Lake District boasts stunning landscapes, lakes, and mountains, enough to take your breath away.

At its heart is Ambleside: a perfect base for exploring the high and low fells, lakeside walks, historical links to Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter, and Ruskin.

With restaurants, cafes and tea rooms, bistros, bakeries, and fine dining, a five-screen cinema, jazz music, and wine bars, there is something for every taste right in the village.
