Overview
Property code: LLH09

Oozing character, this delightful barn conversion is a wonderful romantic retreat for the couple who don’t want to leave their canine companions at home. Two dogs are welcome here and with a plethora of gentle rambles to thrilling climbs on the doorsteps, there’s something to keep everyone entertained. Enjoying a tranquil location surrounded by rolling countryside, local shops, pubs and a restaurant are all within 1.5 miles.

This pretty home is one of two former 17th-century Lakeland barns converted into cottages. Attractive original features evoke a country-style charm to make this a relaxing and welcoming base for your holiday. The beamed ceiling and slate floor contribute to the feel of the open-plan living area. Snuggle up on the sofa and enjoy a film while the wood burner keeps your toes toasty. The compact kitchen is equipped with all you need to rustle up a hearty lunch or snack, with the handy breakfast bar a great addition. Upstairs, the cosy bedroom is perfect for a restful night, with a pretty Chinese-style screen separating it from the bathroom. Muddy boots and bikes can be stored in the external utility room. Enjoy an evening drink in the enclosed lawned garden and if it’s warm enough, why not dine there too.

Stroll into Hawkshead and enjoy a meal in one of its pubs, before meandering around its pretty cobbled streets. Explore the pretty town and eateries in Ambleside (4.5 miles) before hopping on one of the many boat trips which depart for Lake Windermere. While there, try out some of the water sports on offer. Enjoy a hike at the popular Langdale Pikes (8 miles), the iconic hills of the southern lakes which suit a range of abilities.

The cottage was small and not particularly clean. Cobwebs/spiders everywhere, like the place hadn't been hoovered in weeks. In fact the first thing I did was whip round with the hoover I found under the stairs! The bathroom and kitchen were basic but clean enough. There is also no direct access to the garden from the house which was a real shame soRead more we couldn't leave the door open for the dog. Location was lovely and quiet. About half an hour walk to Hawkshead via the footpath outside. Hide

Tired, cleanliness only at face value, cupboards not properly cleaned. Subsidence in the very small garden meant that it was not safe to let the dog into the garden without constant supervision. Mish-mash of pots, pans and cutlery. It was my husbands view that it was the end of the season and this may have been the reason. It is my view that standaRead morerds should be the same from the start to the end of the season. Not worth the money, we could have stayed in a local hotel for less Hide

Lovely quiet location with nice outside space although driveway is a little tight.Cottage has an overwhelming stench which is possibly down to a filthy rug in the front room yes we have a dog but I dont feel the cleanliness of this property is acceptable for a holiday let. Mattress is in need of replacing. Bathroom clean and functional. Its such a Read moreshame this cottage could be so beautiful it just needs the attention it deserves as it does have all you need just cleanliness lets it down. Hide

Cottage not very clean. Reasonable location although if you were walking anywhere by foot had to walk on main road for half a mile to reach footpaths as the path for walkers was overgrown. Unable to park at pub at outgate as wheel clamping in use.
