Overview
Property code: LLH40

This beautiful 16th-century period cottage enjoys a peaceful rural location within walking distance of the picture-postcard village of Hawkshead. It’s the perfect spot for a special occasion or family holiday, accommodating six guests and two of their holidaying hounds. With easy access to Lake Windermere and some stunning walks passing the front door, this is a superb country hideaway.

The property is bright and spacious with a combination of contemporary and traditional furnishings which give it a home-from-home feel. The lovely views from the lounge window are a reminder of your picturesque surroundings, while the electric fire and comfortable sofas make it a perfect space for everyone to relax and unwind. If you’re in the mood for some home-cooked food then head into the well-equipped kitchen/diner which has all you need, along with a dining table that will seat your guests. There is also a light and sunny conservatory which is a lovely place to sit with a drink and enjoy those countryside views. The three cosy bedrooms can be found on the first floor and all are decorated in a restful and understated style. Enjoy some al fresco drinks in the pretty garden and patio area, while the children and dogs have a roam.

Learn more about the area’s connections with Beatrix Potter at the dedicated gallery in Hawkshead, which is within walking distance along with local shops, pubs and a restaurant. Keep the whole family entertained by following a woodland walk or sculpture trail at Grizedale Forest (3.5 miles). Lake Windermere (5.5 miles) is packed with things to do whether you fancy paddleboarding or canoeing, walking, or sitting back and enjoying a pleasure boat ride across the water.

This cottage had everything and more. We loved it. We brought our small dog and as we all know, dogs and rain = dog smell. So it was great for our dog to dry off in the sun room when you 1st enter the property, before entering the main house. It rained everyday but that didnt spoil our trip at all. Plenty of walks and places to eat (but I would booRead morek in advance during peak times. Great location with lovely views. Hide

The location of this cottage is fantastic with a lovely view of the fields on the edge of Hawkshead. The house was immaculately clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We loved the house and the surrounding areas and I would highly recommend staying at this property.

Perfect location for the village and walks from the door. It is attached to another house but no issue. Comfy and warm, Lovely inside overall. The porch area was lovely to sit in especially when the sun was shining. Glad I'd read reviews and aware of caravan on land next door. No issue but glad I knew, the rest of the view is lovely. Ate mainly at Read morethe Outgate inn a 2 min drive away as pubs in the village either full or closed. Wall very low on patio so caution with dogs and children. Will return Hide

Lovely comfortable cottage with plenty of space for our sprawling family,. 5 peeps, a Mastiff and a Cocker spaniel. Everything was spotlessly clean. The location was spot on with everything within a short car distance away. Hawkshead is inviting with nice food, plenty of good beer and a cracking little Co op. Kids are dying to come again.

Lovely property with comfortable furniture and beds etc BUT We feel the photos of the back area was a misrepresentation as on the left side as you look out there is a caravan and unkept unsightly area which the patio overlooks-no privacy made worse by visiting gardeners walking through the garden to next door with zero warning .. the photo leads yoRead moreu to believe the garden leads straight to an accessible field but this is not the case.. there is a huge ditch..
