Property code: LLH41

This beautifully presented four-bedroom property is located in the peaceful hamlet of Roger Ground near Hawkshead. Sleeping eight people and two dogs, it’s a fantastic choice for sociable getaways and special occasions with family and friends. Local pubs and shops are within walking distance, meaning you can do as much or as little as you like.

 

With light and airy accommodation throughout, this delightful home has a contemporary and elegant feel. At its heart is a spacious open-plan living space which is perfect for entertaining larger groups. The warming wood burner is a lovely feature in the lounge area, where there’s plenty of comfortable seating for everyone to relax after a busy day exploring the Lakes. A second seating area provides additional space to unwind and offers wonderful views across the Esthwaite Valley. Whether it’s to enjoy a hearty breakfast or a sit-down meal, the large dining table can seat everyone, while the kitchen is both stylish and well-equipped. Three of the property’s inviting and restful bedrooms are to be found on this floor, while the fourth is located on the lower-ground floor and has its own en-suite. Heading outside is the large enclosed patio.

 

You don’t need to travel far to enjoy the countryside as many scenic walks and cycling trails are on the doorstep. Take a boat trip at Lake Windermere (5.5 miles) or Coniston Water (5.5 miles), while the more energetic members of the group might like to try their hand at paddleboarding or canoeing. Hire a Segway or follow the sculpture trail at Grizedale Forest (3 miles) before heading back to Hawkshead for a tasty meal in one of its charming pubs.

Positives; the house is warm and mainly comfortable, bathrooms are decent, view is ok. Negatives - the property is unloved and uncared for and has a general air of shabbiness. Its in need of a deep clean & new kitchen. Tiny under counter fridge for 8! Freezer is noisy. Main bedroom with en-suite smells unpleasantly of damp, bunks are rickety & uncoRead moremfortable with under bed storage falling to bits, the patio needs scrubbing & tidying, the gutters overflow, the TV needs updating. Disappointing. Hide

Lovely property in a great spot! The views are amazing! The house is very comfortable, warm and welcoming. We stayed here as a party of 8 and there was plenty of space for everyone. Within easy walking distance to Hawkshead and a short drive to Grizedale Forest. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

The house is lovely with a super living space and right in the heart of the lakes. We loved the easy access to Grizedale and Hawkeshead. We all enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house and location. A little TLC is required but not enough to put us off returning.

Excellent location a bit steep in some places walking down to the village. Very clean and well equipped. The beds were the comfortised we have ever slept in. Plenty of space and excellent views over the mountains and valley. Needs a little tlc in some places.
