We loved our stay at the cottage - it was big enough for 12 adults without a squash! The separate seating / lounge areas worked a treat. It was also incredibly well equipped. The amenities in Hawkshead were also fabulous for such a small village - coop/pubs/cheese and ice cream shop etc

A perfect location and a lovely house for our extended family holiday. It was ideal as we had 2 babies and a toddler with us. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. Great that we could all park. The only suggestion is that the showers need upgrading and the decor could do with refreshing in places.
