Welcome to the Log House Accommodation website. The Log House is an historic Norwegian building in Ambleside in the heart of the English Lake District.

The Log House now has three luxury bedrooms, perfect for Gourmet weekends with meals in the Restaurant or simply for Bed & Breakfast accommodation.

You will find us on Lake Road, conveniently opposite the Low Fold car park and just beyond Hayes Garden Centre as you approach from the south.

Midway between Ambleside town and the shore of Windermere, and five minutes walk from each, the famous Log House is ideally located.

Now nearly 100 years old, the house was imported from Norway by the celebrated artist Alfred Heaton Cooper for use as a studio. It has a fine restaurant and accommodation, with southerly views to Loughrigg Fell.

Our award-winning Restaurant, Log House, is open from 12 noon to 2pm lunchtime, 6.30 to 9pm evenings, seven days a week and offer a high standard of service, delicious meals and exceptional value for money in a quite superb setting.

Ambleside today is paradise for the specialist shopper, with an ample selection of climbing gear shops, pubs, cafes, antiques, charming traditional sweet shops and such like.

Ambleside had rather a few mills at one time, first corn, then wool, then bobbin. Now it retains it's market town heritage, and attracts hordes of visitors all year round.

Just 1 mile from Ambleside on the A591 Grasmere Road is the renowned Wordsworth home, Rydal Mount, set in 4 acres of landscaped gardens, Wordsworth being rather fond of gardening.

Exquisite views are to be had up here across to Lake Windermere and Rydal Water, and of course panoramic views of his beloved fells.

Take time to explore the jewel in Ambleside's crown, the collection of Kurt Schwitters' work at the Armitt Museum, an artist who rejected cliques and a master of collage years ahead of his time.

There is also fantastic Walking and climbing surrounding Ambleside for the more adventurous traveller.
