5 out of 5
Wansfell Heights is a second-floor apartment with magnificent views over Ambleside and the well-known fells of Loughrigg, Fairfield Horseshoe and, aptly, Wansfell Pike. Centrally located in popular Ambleside, Wansfell Heights offers a prized parking space by the door, as well as being right in the heart of this Lakeland town.
The apartment, sleeping 2, was refurbished in Spring 2024 and provides light, airy and modern accommodation, while blending with the traditional features of this Victorian style property. Dual aspect windows, high ceilings and carefully paired soft furnishings compliment the charm, with those stunning views being the ‘pièce de résistance’!
Once inside Wansfell Heights, the living areas are made up of a spacious lounge – with plenty of comfortable seating to cosy down on after a day of exploring – and a newly fitted dining kitchen, with all the necessities for self-catering.
There’s an equally spacious double bedroom on the east side of the apartment, again benefitting from outstanding views, and a large shower room with walk-in shower off the main hallway.
It begs no question that Wansfell Heights is the ideal base for those looking to be close to the action, while also in prime location for exploring many of the other fabulous towns nearby.

Guest Reviews
Perfect base in Ambleside
Great property in Ambleside with parking space and short walk to centre of town. Well equipped, nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. Tarn and Fell escapes were great to deal with even calling to say I could check in earlier because the previous guests had checked out early. Would love to stay here again

Our third visit which says it all!
Everything about Wansfell Heights makes it a superb visit each time. Apart from the high quality, tasteful decor and the excellent wide ranging amenities and comfortable furnishings the place is always warm and quiet and very relaxing to be in whilst also being very continently located with good parking.

A perfect mini break.
We would definitely recommend this lovely apartment. On arrival everything was immaculate and of very high standard with a full equipped kitchen. Brilliant location with amazing views and parking directly outside. We booked through Tarn and Fell and as always nothing was too much trouble for Ross who was very helpful as always. We had a very enjoyable stay.

We've stayed in Wansfell Heights a few times before when it was let by Hoseasons but this is the first with Tarn and Fell and it's still a lovely place to stay and very clean but personally think it was a shame the bath has been removed - therefore missing a much needed soak after a long day in the fells - in favour of a shower....apart from the very ill fitting toilet seat which needs changing asap, the flat is fantastic.
Long weekend stay
Perfect bolt hole for a hiking weekend. The apartment had everything we needed, plus an ideal location in Ambleside.

Ambleside oasis
This accommodation was of a very high standard, comfortable and beautifully finished. On the 2nd floor and the views were splendid. There is a convenient parking space although I didn't use as arrived via public transport. The flat is very quiet. I was unaware of other residents or street noise. Very conveniently placed for town amenities, bus station. restaurants etc....

I booked a long weekend stay in Ambleside through Tarn & Fell escapes and my expectations were thoroughly exceeded.
Prior to our stay I had a few questions about the property and Ross could not have been more helpful. He was happy to help with any query I had and it made the booking process and our stay much more enjoyable.
I was particularly impressed with the location of the property, it was situated right in the town centre of Ambleside which was perfect as we visited on a very busy bank holiday weekend, so it made things a lot more convenient that we could walk 5 mins from the property and be right in the town centre.
Upon arrival, we found that the flat was beautifully decorated, presented and most of all, clean. The host had also left us Easter eggs as we visited on Easter weekend which I thought was a lovely surprise.
The property had great facilities that gave it a cosy feel, such as a nespresso coffee machine which we loved!
One of the days during our stay we had exceptional weather and we discovered the harbour was just a short 15 mins walk from the property, so we were able to enjoy a lovely pub garden with a lake view that day.
We had a wonderful stay visiting Ambleside for the first time and we wanted to give a huge thanks to Ross for making it a memorable experience with his beautiful property. We will definitely be returning in the summer!

Excellent accommodation- light and airy with wonderful views. Very well equipped and comfortable. The parking is a valuable bonus in Ambleside which together with its location ( easy short walk into Ambleside) makes it a superb place to stay. Communication with Ross the owner was fast, reliable and helpful.
