About 1 Brathay Fell

1 Brathay Fell is a former merchants house, built in the 1870s and operated as a hotel for a period from the 1930s. In the late 70s, the house was converted into the immaculate apartments they are today. The house itself, Brathay Fell, stands in extensive private grounds and is approached by a long drive from the road between Ambleside and Skelwith Bridge – making this the perfect place for your Lake District escape.

Enter through the grand communal hallway and you’ll soon find the entrance to this ground floor apartment. You’ll be greeted into the spacious hallway by way of high ceilings, ‘of-the-time’ décor and a magnificent expression of elegance.

Flowing naturally from the hallway, the impressive and rather sophisticated living space compromises a newly fitted dining kitchen and an open-plan lounge with an array of comfortable seating – be it an evening in front of the SMART TV on the deep cushioned fabric suites, or an afternoon beside the lake view windows, your time at 1 Brathay Fell is sure to be a pleasant one. Adding charm, the wood burning stove is set against a backdrop of full-height windows, ornate cornices and pure grandeur.

The main accommodation is made up of a stunning super-king-sized bedroom, a neat en-suite shower room to the rear. The dual aspect bedroom has shuttered windows and French doors, providing an expanse of natural light and access to the private veranda. There’s a definite nod towards the former hotel that used to sit in this very spot: a true showcase of sumptuous luxury. A separate second bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, ideal for a restful night's sleep. It features a super king bed, which can be configured as twin beds on request, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for families or friends. A second external door provides access to the private terrace and extensive shared gardens, making this apartment suitable for up to 4 guests.

A separate family house bathroom features marble tiles and high-quality fixtures including a bath with shower over, basin and WC.

There is one allocated parking space outside the apartment, with additional visitor spaces right beside the same.

Need to know
Parking is for 1 car and there is an allocated space directly outside the apartment. Additional parking for visitors can be found on site.


The second bedroom uses a zip and link bed - please make your configuration request clear at the time of booking. As standard, we prepare the second bedroom as a super king bed. 


One, small-medium sized, well behaved dog is welcome for a small fee. 


There is a combination of underfloor heating and individually controlled electric radiators throughout.


You are welcome to bring your own cot and highchair, although we cannot provide one.


Due to a lack of external storage, regrettably, we're unable to provide logs for the wood burning stove.


Please note: 1 Brathay Fell has a septic tank. Appropriate toilet etiquette applies.


The kitchen has an induction hob – anyone with a pacemaker is advised to take caution and seek professional medical advice.


This is a self-contained apartment with one shared and one private entrance that will be accessible once checked in.


EV charging is not available and strictly not permitted using domestic chargers – for safety and insurance reasons, charging electric/hybrid vehicles at the property is prohibited. Each offence will incur a £100 penalty and the security deposit will be withheld. EV charging facilities are available in Ambleside and other nearby towns.


Outdoor areas are uneven in places and may become slippery when wet. Please take care when moving around the grounds and supervise children at all times.
