Property code: LLH11

This cottage enjoys a simply stunning location in amongst a small cluster of cottages close to Tarn Hows, a National Trust managed area of countryside, which offers a circular accessible walking route with beautiful mountain views. The villages of Coniston and Hawkshead are both under two miles away, each offering a range of shops and pubs, whilst Hawkshead also has The Beatrix Potter Gallery. Coniston Water and Lake Windermere are both a short drive from the property and offer a range of water sports and pleasure cruises, meaning that everyone can enjoy the lakes, whether you want a relaxing or active holiday.

This detached cottage offers guests a wonderful place to stay in the stunning surrounds of the Lake District. Entering the cottage through the entrance hall, guests will come to the spacious living room. There are two distinct areas to this room, which can be divided by glass doors into two separate spaces if desired. The lower end has the TV and DVD, as well as French windows which lead out to the patio, whilst two steps up lead to the second area which is dominated by the impressive stone fireplace which now houses the cosy wood burner. This space makes a relaxing retreat, with its comfortable seating and window seat which offers scenic views across the valley. The bespoke kitchen has been thoughtfully and stylishly finished and is well-equipped with a Range cooker, hob, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. The washing machine and tumble dryer can be found in a separate utility room where you will also find a very useful drying cabinet.  The property’s dining room is located in a light and airy extension, which benefits from French windows giving access to the garden and an additional TV. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms. The first of which is the master-suite with double bed, TV, and en-suite shower room with WC. The two further bedrooms are a double and a twin, which, again have their own TV. The main bathroom has a shower over the bath and WC.

Outside, there is an enclosed garden, which is perfect for all the family with both a lawn area and a large patio seating area with tables and chairs. Bikes can also be stored in the garage. The property’s owners are rightfully proud of the cottage’s eco-credentials, which include a ground-source heat system and solar panels, which keep the property lovely and cosy.

  • Bathroom with shower over the bath and WC

Absolutely amazing cottage! It was a super cozy stay - a lovely refuge after being out in the chilly and drizzly air! Really loved the enclosed garden for the dog so he couldnt get out as hes something of an escape artist usually :) Plenty of space for 6 adults and a medium sized dog and is in a very quiet and peaceful location. Very well equipped Read moreand would definitely recommend. Hide

Beautiful cottage inside and out in the most perfect location in the lakes. Warm underfloor heating and a drying cupboard made it ideal returning from walks.

A comfortable cosy cottage providing all we needed for two adults and two dogs. Great to have a proper secure garden for the dogs. A real bonus to have a drying cabinet, a definite plus when staying in the Lakes! A lovely quiet location with no fireworks to stress our dogs. A very enjoyable stay.

Gorgeous cottage and very dog friendly. The outside area was really lovely and thankfully the sun was out so we could use it for breakfast. The shower was really good in the master bedroom and beds were comfy. Couldn't fault it would definitely recommend and the location was amazing so close to hawksbeard and great walks straight from the doorstep.Read more Hide

Lovely cottage to stay in, very warm and great place to be away from it all. The wi-fi was enough to check emails and go online, much better than we had led to believe and the house had a lovely welcoming feel. Would stay again.

This was a wonderful cottage in which to spend Christmas. It was cosy, the woodburning stove added to the welcoming feel, and we loved the reclining sofas at the end of the day. The kitchen was well equipped for our Christmas lunch and the location was ideal for walks from the back door. The drying cupboard was a real bonus given the wet weather!

We had a lovely holiday....but the intermittent WiFi never worked and neither did the backup 4g. The cottage was full of cobwebs. The cottage was probably lovely when refurbished but needs some attention now. But it is in a great location with some amazing scenery. It was well equipped. But agents could clean better eg mould around washing machine Read moreseal which we tried to removed ourselves and drier filter was horrible. Hide

This cottage is in a lovely location and has a nice garden but sadly furniture inside is looking very tired. Although issues raised while we were staying were addressed promptly there were a few too many on this occasion

We had a lovely week in the cottage. The description, of the cottage and the location, on the website is exactly as we found it. Lovely location and very comfortable. The instructions for arrival were spot on and easy to follow. The owners were quick to respond to us when we contacted them during our stay and equally as quick to rectify any problemRead mores we had. The location of the cottage allowed us an easy drive to the Coniston,Ambleside,Windermere area to enjoy the lakes and countryside. Hide
