About this property

With its attractive décor and furnishings and cosy woodburner, Crabtree is an excellent choice for a couple or small family looking to unwind in a stunning corner of the Lake District. From your cottage you have access to several acres of beautiful woodland and wonderful shared facilities, not to mention the delights of the southern Lake District.
The picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Cars are banned from the village, leaving visitors free to wander the wealth of tiny alleyways, thoroughfares, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th Century houses.

Our first break away as a new family and the facilities where faultless. The onsite shop had everything we needed for days in, the pool really easy to book and a fantastic addition. The accomodation was spotless and the welcome pack an unexpected nice touch. I would highlight that on one website it mentions there being a fitness room on site, that is probably going to now be the games room, not a big problem for us. I would also point out that the grounds have their own electric car chargers which was a huge relief, definitely add that to your site because it made our life a lot easier not having to navigate to local chargers. Brilliant stay an we are already planning to visit again next year.

Why do you have the pool open only 1-6 and closed on certain days, on my break I was unable to book a swim on Monday for Wednesday and I was only at the cottage Mon, Tues and Wednesday so couldnât use the pool. The extractor fan in the bathroom didnât work, the cutlery draw and some of itâs contents were dirty and on the last night when we needed the oven for the first time it didnât work.
