Experience country living at its best in this charming semi-detached converted-barn just a 0.5-mile stroll from Hawkshead, where you’ll find the higgledy-piggledy houses so beloved by Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth. Sleeping six people over three bedrooms, this idyllic cottage is the perfect accommodation option for families or groups of friends in search of an action-packed getaway in the heart of the Lakes. You’re sure to love spending your days canyoning or kayaking around Lake Windermere, and your evenings warming your toes in front of the property’s lovely multi-fuel stove.

Overflowing with traditional country character, this beautiful holiday home is a delight to discover. Step inside and make your way to the farmhouse-style kitchen to rustle up a feast for your loved ones. Dine all together around the table in the living room/diner, or step outside and dine alfresco on the property’s patio area, where you can enjoy the lovely country views. After dinner, gather around the multi-fuel stove in the living area and watch your favourite TV shows, before heading upstairs for a sweet night’s sleep in one of the three comfortable bedrooms.

Getting your adrenaline rush in the stunning countryside that surrounds this cottage is no problem at all. Go ghyll scrambling and canyoning near Coniston (4.5 miles) or try your hand at axe-throwing at the Graythwaite Estate (5.5 miles). After all of that excitement, treat yourself to a tour of the Chocolate Factory (0.5 miles). If you have the kids with you, they’ll love you for it. At the end of the day, there are plenty of inviting pubs in Hawkshead (0.5 miles) for you to relax in, including a few that offer special menus for the kids.

Loverly cottage in an amazing location. Clean and spacious with comfy beds. Kitchen was adequate but not the best equipped of kitchens.

A great cottage, closely situated to Hawkshead. When the weather is nice, the outdoor furniture is perfect for al fresco dining and drinks. When it isnt, the cottage is cosy and warming. A lovely stay.

Big house, comfortable bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen. Bring your toilet rolls and soap as they don't leave enough for more than 3 days stays.

Very well equipped kitchen. Beds comfortable and bedrooms good size. The electric storage heaters were a bit of a mystery, but warmed the place quickly when needed. We turned them off at the mains when not wanted. A shame the weather was poor whilst we were there, the terraces looked lovely. Lots of space for a large group. Highly recommended.

A cosy cottage with everything you need for a peaceful week away in the Lake District! We really liked the proximity of the cottage to Hawkshead, to be able to walk in and have dinner or see the sights.

A lovely cottage this being our 3rd visit. Lovely walk into Hawkeshead, only 15 mins away. Great base to be able to visit all the lakes. Weather wasn't with us this time but still a spacious cottage and a nice holiday was had.
