Overview
Property code: LLH40

Hawkshead is known all around the world for its connections to Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth, both of whom are celebrated in two of the village’s National Trust properties. Lake Windermere and Coniston Water are both within a five-mile drive of the cottage with a great range of water sports for all the family.

This cottage offers a wonderful break away from the stresses of everyday life, and guests will immediately feel relaxed as soon as they enter the comfortable lounge with its sofas, electric fire, TV/DVD, and hi-fi. The property’s kitchen/diner is light and spacious, with a pine dining table seating six, oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer. Just off from this room is a wonderfully light and sunny conservatory, which offers guests a place to sit with a drink and enjoy the uninterrupted views over the neighbouring countryside. There is also a handy ground-floor WC. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, all of which are tastefully decorated in a restful and understated style. The first of these is a king-size room, whilst there is also a twin room and a bunk bedroom which is suitable for younger guests. The bathroom, also located on the first floor, has a shower over the bath and WC.

Outside, the property enjoys a quiet, attractive garden with patioed seating area.

This cottage had everything and more. We loved it. We brought our small dog and as we all know, dogs and rain = dog smell. So it was great for our dog to dry off in the sun room when you 1st enter the property, before entering the main house. It rained everyday but that didnt spoil our trip at all. Plenty of walks and places to eat (but I would booRead morek in advance during peak times. Great location with lovely views. Hide

The location of this cottage is fantastic with a lovely view of the fields on the edge of Hawkshead. The house was immaculately clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We loved the house and the surrounding areas and I would highly recommend staying at this property.

Perfect location for the village and walks from the door. It is attached to another house but no issue. Comfy and warm, Lovely inside overall. The porch area was lovely to sit in especially when the sun was shining. Glad I'd read reviews and aware of caravan on land next door. No issue but glad I knew, the rest of the view is lovely.
