      Very good value for cottage. This was are third stay because of the location in the area. Looking forward to are next visit. Love the log fire every night.

      This was our second visit to the Lake District and our second booking with Lakeland Hideaways. Whist our first trip was good this property ticked all the boxes. A perfect location, easy walk into Hawkshead and dog friendly. The cottage was everything we could have asked for. Small but perfectly equipped and great for a couple with 2 dogs. Easy parking and walking into Hawkshead, mostly across fields and very little road walking, ideal for anybody with dogs. Hawkshead itself has four dog friendly pubs, but you need to be aware that not all of them serve food all day. Have already booked Barn End for next year.

      The cottage was cute and cosy and in an excellent location for lots of beautiful walks and to explore places further afield. We took our puppy and she loved it too! We'd definitely recommend it for a couple.
