“From the top-floor flat at Badgers Rake 12, Squirrels Nest, the mountain views are genuinely arresting, stretching out from the kitchen, living room, and even the balcony. The apartment feels thoughtfully equipped, with an efficiency in its layout that surprises, and it's a comfortable ten-minute walk into the heart of Ambleside. Having a dedicated parking space up there is a considerable advantage too.”
