There is plenty of countryside walks available nearby and both Lake Windermere (4mls) and Coniston Water (3mls) are within a short drive of the property.

Lovely clean cottage, only an 8 min walk into Hawkshead. Beds very comfy. Constant hot water. Despite being on a corner traffic not a problem, ample room for parking one car. Handy bus stop in Hawkshead, to save driving.

Very comfortable and clean as expected. We were advised in advance of a plumber coming round to fix a leaking tap. This was looked at before we arrived and couldn't be fixed. No a major issue for us as it was a cold tap. Good communication regarding this. Great location and very quiet. Would stay here again.

Kirrin cottage is good value for money and a lovely location in the Lakes. Only a short walk into the pretty village of Hawkshead - no pathway for part of the walk along the main road, but didn't cause too much inconvenience, even with two small children. Off-road parking a bonus.

A lovely little cottage only a 3-minute walk from the centre of Hawkshead. The parking was a huge bonus, the kitchen was great for cooking, the living room was great for relaxing, the beds were very comfy and the shower had a good pressure and was hot!

A slightly tired seeming cottage, a little chilly and damp (mind you it was winter and cold and wet, so!?) , but in a great location with a little outdoor space that must be super in summer. They owners were very helpful letting me check in a little early on xmas day which was very much appreciated and I had everything I needed for a nice little ChRead moreristmas break. Thank you Hide

Cottage is fairly small but comfortable and cosy. The road outside does have a certain amount of traffic whizzing past, including high speed tractors ! As at 27 Sep 23 , the builders were working in the adjoining, attached , cottage so a bit of noise came through the wall. No doubt the work will be completed in a week or so time. Having said all thRead moreat, I would be more than happy to stay in Kirrin Cottage again Hide

Great stay at Kirrin cottage in August. Everything we needed and a top spot to access Coniston, Hawkshead, and Windermere. Peaceful spot at the end of the village. The walk from Hawkshead to Far Sawrey was a most pleasant peaceful stroll.

The cottage was lovely and clean and very comfortable. The location was fantastic for visiting lots of attractions, including Hawkshead village. The parking space was perfect and the small courtyard garden got the afternoon sun.
