About this property

A welcoming terraced cottage set in a row of four, occupying a superb position in the central courtyard on the wonderful Graythwaite Estate. With excellent facilities including an indoor swimming pool, table tennis and play area on the doorstep, this Lake District cottage makes a great family base for spending time together exploring the estate or venturing out to the Lake District beyond.

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.

  • Gerard

    Sykes did not answer a single enquiry. It's all a very impersonal process, entirely computer generated. As for Greenhowes, it seemed overpriced, but perhaps that's just the Lake District especially in the time of Covid. The property is badly in need of refurbishment. None of the internal doors close properly, especially the toilets. Carpets in the toilets seems unhygienic. The kitchen is not very well stocked. The dishwasher needs replacing, since the two racks do not stay on their runners, with plates crashing everywhere when they are pulled out. Pool and shop were not open as often as claimed. For the price, I expected something better.

    Enjoyed being able to use the pool and having a farm shop on site was very convenient.

  • Peter

    The property was a good size however very tired and in need of some work. Freezer didn’t keep food frozen, ruining £20 worth of ice cream. Hob and oven were exceptionally slow to get hot, carpets were stained in many places. One of the beds in the twin room had a wheel broken off meaning one bed couldn’t be kept level.
