About this property

This pretty, end-terrace cottage has been thoughtfully furnished to provide a holiday home of real comfort, perfect for your family getaway. Bright and tasteful decoration blends well with the modern touches and character features to provide a relaxing atmosphere. The three bedrooms share a contemporary shower room, and the thoughtfully-furnished sitting room features a charming fireplace set in a surround of locally-sourced stone. The luxury kitchen with dining area has French doors opening onto a private patio garden, where guests can sit on sunny days and enjoy the views to the nearby woods. A quaint little Lake District cottage, which is sure to delight!

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. With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year.

  • Jason

    Negative - no email with booking reference so we had to go to the shop to book swimming, people had already booked but did not show up so families miss out. Why can’t last booking be open so anyone can go. Need a few maps of walks from the cottages, and wish there was a pub to walk to, also needs smart televisions Apart from that great but we also had the weather which helped

  • Ruth

    Lovely and warm when we opened the front door. Comfortable beds, lovely fluffy towels. Beautiful setting. Only little negative is we needed a couple more mugs and cutlery. Lovely lady in the shop. We would most definitely return.

  • Steven

    We had a very nice holiday and enjoyed the location and the walks on the doorstep.
