Overview
Property code: LLH39

Located in the heart of the popular village of Hawkshead and within walking distance of its many shops, pubs and restaurants, you’ll find this delightful 16th-century cottage. It can accommodate up to five people across three bedrooms, along with one faithful hound, making it a great choice for family holidays. It’s also a super base from which to explore the nearby Lake Windermere and the many local walks and trails in the area.

 

Retaining many period features, giving it real character, this inviting home also features all the contemporary touches you’ll need. The lounge/diner is decorated in warming colours to give it a homely feel and making it a welcome spot to put your feet up after a busy day of exploring. The wood burner adds to the cosiness of this space on chillier evenings. If you’re not eating at one of the many local pubs, rustle up something tasty in the stylish kitchen before retiring to the three pretty bedrooms, which are all decorated in a warm, elegant style. One is to be found on the first floor while a further two are up a second flight of stairs. Step outside and take a seat to the front of the cottage or on the picnic bench to the rear, to enjoy your morning cuppa.

 

Pull on your walking boots and head out on one of the many local trails that pass your front door. Both Lake Windermere and Coniston Water are within 5 miles of the property, offering many hiking routes and water sports for those feeling a bit more energetic. Hop on a boat and enjoy a pleasure cruise across the water, before exploring the fascinating Wray Castle which overlooks Windermere. Nearby, follow the footpath that leads to Claife Heights, a stunning purpose-built vantage point with incredible views.

Lovely, quirky cottage ideally situated in the heart of Hawkshead. A very short walk to the village shops and cafes. Ideal for 2 adults plus children, it felt a bit cramped for 5 adults, a dog and a lot of wet weather gear and Xmas goodies! The kitchen is very well equipped but space is limited. The ensuite shower was great and worked well. In the Read morespring or summer there is a little seating area outside the back door. The log stove was lovely on a dark wet evening. Hide

Lantern Cottage was an amazing place to stay and exactly as described. It is close to all amenities in this quaint little town. Living spaces were comfortable and kitchen was perfectly equipped. The owners touch with complimentary local biscuits and chocolate was thoroughly enjoyed. Beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were modern and cleanRead more. We would definitely come again!

Brilliant location although Co-Op lorry turned up every morning at 7.30 but that is price you pay for staying in the centre. This is not one of the best equipped cottages we have stayed in but would be fine for people who enjoy eating out. We enjoyed going out and about on the bus to Windermere and beyond so were able to leave the car parked in theRead more car park all week, which was a real bonus. Hide

Quirky old cottage in a fabulous location. Headroom can be an issue as with many old cottages and 2nd or additional cars cost 8 per day to park. Overall though its a great cottage in an ideal location with all conveniences literally on your doorstep.

We had a lovely week in Lantern Cottage. It was spotlessly clean and well equipped. There was a musky spell on entering the cottage each time but we got use to it. The bathrooms were modern with good showers and the cottage central heating worked very well. We really enjoyed the picnic table and benches in the shared courtyard which were a sun trapRead more in the afternoon. The location is fabulous with lots of walks from the cottage. The Honeypot and Co-Op are really well stocked. We hope to return. Hide
