Lovely centrally located cottage in the heart of Hawkshead. Beautifully decorated, spotless and great facilities. We ate out locally so no need to drive to get groceries, a good meal, excellent coffee etc. A shame that a couple of the local pubs were being refurbished so not open during our stay, but we had good food at the Red Lion and PoppiRed.
