Treetops at The Falls is a 3-bedroom duplex set on the former site of the old Bobbin Mill that overlooks Stock Ghyll in an area of lush woodland and tumbling waterfalls cascading from Red Screes above. Many of the original buildings have been converted into super accommodation. This sought-after area of Ambleside is popular for holiday-makers given its peaceful surroundings, yet it's only 500m from Ambleside town centre where you'll find shops, bars, cafes and more.

Treetops benefits from a private parking space as well as additional onsite visitors parking. The light and bright property span two floors. The first floor is the open plan living and dining area that opens out onto a wooden balcony, overlooking the lawn garden and the woodland. Leading off the dining area is the kitchen. Into the hall is a shower room and two well-appointed bedrooms, one of which is ensuite with a door to the balcony.

Upstairs is the family bathroom and the twin bedroom with a TV/DVD and a Wii games console with games, perfect for kids to enjoy while the adults spend time downstairs.

Outside, guests are welcome to use the grassed garden areas. There is also a shared, purpose-built BBQ area on the estate that overlooks the river.

About The Location
The Falls is a highly sought-after area of Ambleside due to the peaceful surroundings and the easy 500m walk into the town centre. The market town of Ambleside sits at the North end of Lake Windermere, a short stroll from the cruise boats. The village is hugely popular with visitors due to the cinemas, tennis courts, pitch and putt / crazy golf and very large outdoor children’s play area in Rothay Park. The scenery is also spectacular as are the choice of walks from the town, including Jenkins Crag (730ft) and Loughrigg Fell (1099ft).

The town is well-serviced by the local bus service with links to Windermere, Kendal, Grasmere, Coniston and Keswick. Ambleside has

Well worth a visit is Stagshaw Garden, a woodland garden with lovely floral displays set on a steep hillside overlooking Lake Windermere. From the garden walks lead through Skelghyll Woods to the fells beyond. There are strolls along the shore of Lake Windermere for the less energetic, boat trips down the lake and back, or maybe just potter around the many outdoor shops, craft shops and galleries before a good pub lunch.

Lovely position. Well furnished. A few items need attention. Cannot keep front door shut without it being locked. Inferior draw units in bedroom. Difficult to push draws in,cheap runners. Broken bottom handle to draws. W.C. Holder broken keeps dropping out. Written details about heating controls would help.

Tree tops at the falls has so much potential but is in need of a bit of TLC. Redecoration, new beds and improved bedroom storage (especially bed side tables) would elevate the experience. Kitchen utensils and crockery are also in need of some TLC the plates are well worn. The bathrooms were spacious and the water pressure was amazing buy there were signs of mould in grout and silicone.

The location is great and just a short walk into Ambleside. I only gave 4 stars for comfort and equipment as we thought the two single beds pushed together in the main bedroom weren't that comfortable and the welcome pack should have more than two dishwasher tablets. Very minor points really and overall the accommodation was excellent and we would definitely return

A light and bright space which was nice and clean. Plenty of bathrooms for six guests. Very close to Ambleside, but far enough away to be quiet. Lovely walks from the door including Wansfell pike to Troutbeck and back through the woods. Recycling of all materials was very good.
