Perfect for larger groups of friends or family, this beautiful detached 17th-century farmhouse sleeps six guests across three bedrooms. It’s located in the tranquil hamlet of Outgate at the end of a small lane, with some great walks from the doorstep making it great for those who love to explore on foot. The local pub is a short stroll away and Hawkshead, with its many shops and places to eat, is 1 mile away.

Full of character and charm, this impressive home offers contemporary accommodation, blended with original features. The elegant and modern kitchen is well-equipped to keep even the busiest of cooks happy, with the electric stove-effect fire set into the original fireplace adding to the room’s charm. The table is perfect for relaxed breakfasts while the dining area to the rear of the lounge is ideal if you’re sitting down to an evening meal. Exposed beams and a cosy wood burner create a lovely ambience in this room, with comfortable sofas for snuggling up on in front of a film. Upstairs, the inviting bedrooms are both restful and stylish, providing a haven to retreat to at the end of a busy day. Take in the stunning views towards Latterbarrow in your private garden, with a table and chairs which are perfect for a little al fresco dining.

Wander around the shops in popular Hawkshead and stop off at the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which celebrates the author’s work. Explore the interesting Wray Castle, which overlooks Lake Windermere. Take to the late itself on a boat trip and, if you’re feeling brave, get in the water to try out one of the many water sports on offer. There are plenty of hiking routes locally, but for hardier fell walkers, the majestic Langdales (7 miles) are the place to be.

Birkwray farmhouse is one of the best we have stayed in and it's location is perfect to explore both the countryside around the south lakes and the villages and towns. The farmhouse itself is spacious and yet very cosy, especially over the winter months with the log burner lit. Our stay was over the Christmas period and the farmhouse was tastefullyRead more decorated which gave it a lovely seasonal feel. Also, the treat basket that was left on the kitchen table was a lovely surprise and most welcome. Hide

For the price this house was perfect, great showers, well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, village pub 1 minute walk away, good bus links in to the local towns. The log burner door latch was broken so it doesnt close properly, so they should get that fixed but other than that I cannot fault this house. We would definitely visit again.

This was a lovely big property. All the equipment that we needed was there. I wish we had the downstairs bathroom in our house. It was so spacious. We had no issues with Internet connection. There was a log fire. It was a shame that we were clueless in how to keep the fire burning! On the first night we went to see the fireworks at Hawkshead. The ORead moreutgate Inn was a 2 minute walk away. At the side of the pub is a public footpath into Hawkshead. A great location, to visit many places. Hide

Lovely old cottage in central lakeland. Bathrooms, particularly the downstairs walk-in shower were very luxurious and great after a long days walk. Kitchen was a good size and well equipped.

Lovely property in a wonderful location. We come back most years which is testament to how great Birkwray Farmhouse is. Very well equipped and comfortable for our family of four. Great walks to Hawshead/Grizedale and Windermere from your doorstep. Outgate pub was open this year and very friendly local pub with good food.

What a wonderful peaceful place. Amazing location, we barely used the car and cycled (off road) straight from the cottage to Windermere, Grizedale and Elterwater. Everything very accessible. Lovely big downstairs living area is really warm and cosy and really good sized bedrooms all with own bathroom. Amazing showers!! Felt really good value.

We had a lovely week at Birkwray Farm. The cottage is welcoming and cosy and we appreciated the basket of shortbread, mint cake and coffee. The cottage is very well-equipped and there is an efficient heating and hot water system. There was plenty of room for 6 of us.

Cottage was beautiful we absolutely loved its location, its size, comfortable beds and beautiful bathrooms. The only comment was that it wasnt clear on your website how many en-suite bathrooms there were. I had en-suite then outside my bedroom door was another bathroom with bath only. The other bathroom was downstairs.
