This characterful three-bedroom period property is part of a former police station and courthouse and is situated in the heart of the attractive village of Hawkshead. Sleeping up to six guests and two dogs, it would perfectly suit larger groups of friends and family who are holidaying together. With some super walks, lakes and fells nearby, there’s something here to keep everyone entertained.
Offering comfortable and homely accommodation, this welcoming cottage has everything you need for a relaxing break with your loved ones. Slate floors and a country design give the spacious kitchen/diner real character, making it a great space for rustling up a hearty breakfast or snack for your guests. The cosy lounge is an inviting space for everyone to unwind after a day of exploring, while the cosy wood burner offers the weary-pawed a welcome spot to have a snooze. Cottage-style stairs lead up to two restful bedrooms where you’re certain to wake up feeling refreshed and ready for a new day. The third bedroom, a double, is to be found on the second floor.
The cottage enjoys a super location in the village, with plenty of places to eat and drink, a short walk away. Don’t miss the Beatrix Potter Gallery while you’re there, where some of the author’s early illustrations can be seen. For water lovers, Coniston Water (4.5 miles) and Lake Windermere (5 miles) both offer various water sports to try, while those preferring to stay on dry land will find plenty of routes to follow on foot. For the adventurers in the group, The Old Man of Coniston fell offers a more challenging climb, 5 miles away.
