The picturesque village of Hawkshead has many inns, teashops, guest houses, and gift shops, as well as the Beatrix Potter gallery. Newby Bridge is 10 miles away and offers attractions such as the Aquarium of the Lakes and Windermere Lake Cruises, sailing daily between Ambleside, Bowness, and Lakeside. With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year. 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.

Adventurous types will enjoy a trip to Grizedale Forest (2.2 miles), where there is a Go-Ape centre with high ropes and a zip wire.
Through the front door, you enter the spacious lounge which oozes comfort and relaxation with corner sofas surrounding the open fire and TV, and then an additional two armchairs perfect to read a book which makes for a perfect night in.
