About this property
Vale View has been refurbished to provide contemporary up side down style accommodation making the most of the rural outlook in the most sought after Lakeland village of Hawkshead. The cottage has an open fire to cuddle up to in the winter and the garden is a relaxing base to enjoy out door dining or simply relax whilst watching the sun set over the fells.
Hawkshead is a small beautiful lakeland village full of character with 16th century buildings lining the narrow streets. It plays host to an array of quaint little tea shops, pubs, white washed cottages and some of the most breathtaking scenery that the Lake District has to offer. Hawkshead has plenty to offer for all ages from the Beatrix Potter Gallery to her house at Hill Top where Peter Rabbit was created. A short drive away in one direction finds you at Coniston another bustling Lakeland village where Donald Campbell attempted his tragic water speed record in 1967. Here you can hire boats, kayaks or dinghies or just simply take a trip on the Steam Gondola. In the other direction finds you on the shores of Lake Windermere where you can catch a ferry over to Bowness-on-Windermere where you can further explore the delights that the Lake District has to offer.

I have been staying in Holiday cottages on and off for the past 26 years and I have to say that Vale View is the cleanest one I have ever seen, - it was absolutely spotless, right down to the smallest teaspoon! It is also very conveniently situated for a stroll into Hawkshead village in the evening for a pint! It has good equipment such as Hdtv, CD player with ipod dock and excellent wifi. All in all we were very comfortable there. The only criticisms I could level are the size of the bedrooms, which are very small and the fact that some of the basics, such as salt, pepper, milk, butter, which you expect to find at any cottage on arrival, were absent and the cooking utensils, such as saucepans, etc are insufficient. These are minor issues, but in taking care of them, this rating would have gone from 'very good' to 'excellent.'
