Overview
Property code: LLH21

Explore the beautiful Lake District from the village that was so loved by children’s author Beatrix Potter. Situated 5 miles from Ambleside, Hawkshead is the perfect destination for anyone seeking to be close to colourful, independent shops, as well as pubs serving homecooked dishes. Sleeping six guests, and also welcoming a pair of their canine companions, this three-bedroom, three-storey house, which was once a police station, is set at the heart of the Cumbrian village. From here, enjoy long walks taking in views of Lake Windermere, or plan day trips to Coniston Water or Grizedale Forest.

Let yourselves into this imposing stone holiday home and follow the hall through into the sunny kitchen/diner. Take turns in whipping up hearty meals with the fresh Lakeland produce you have sourced. Make yourself a cup of coffee in the machine then enjoy it at the table. Find all the appliances you need in the kitchen, plus an extra fridge/freezer beneath the staircase. Spend your evenings in the lounge, watching your favourite programmes on TV or a film on the DVD. Light the wood burner and listen to music on the Hi-Fi. Climb the steep stairs to find a double bedroom, with an en-suite shower room, and a twin on the first floor. A family shower room is also here. Head on up to the floor above to discover another double bedroom with en-suite shower room.

While away an afternoon at the National Trust’s Beatrix Potter Gallery in the village. Visit Wray Castle, 3 miles away, too. Have a day out in Ambleside and take a cruise out on Lake Windermere from the pier at Waterhead to enjoy the stunning beauty of the surroundings.

Excellent family accommodation. Fantastic location right in the centre of Hawkshead close to cafes, pubs, shops and even a pharmacy. Great furnishings and a well equipped kitchen. As it happened it was mild and mainly dry during our stay but it was lovely to be know that we could control the heating if required and stay cosy on wet and cool days.

We did enjoy our stay at Copper Tops in Hawkshead however we found the beds to be quite uncomfortable. Everything we needed to stay in the house was provided and the property was very clean. Hawkshead was good for exploring the Lake District but the people working in the pubs were not welcoming or friendly (they were actually rude and disrespectfulRead more) and the availability of tables in either pub to eat was a challenge. Because of this, we would not recommend Hawkshead as a place to stay. Hide

The rooms are clean and comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed. We appreciated the electric fans as the weather was very warm. The location is perfect. We had shops, pubs and restaurants just a short stroll away. And of course the fantastic scenery and walks are on your doorstep. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Lovely cottage vey large and spacious with everything you need . Beds were very comfortable and overall the cottage was excellent, warm and we very much appreciated the welcome pack , a very nice touch. It is in the very heart of Hawkshead so very convenient but also very assessable to nearby Lake District villages

Had a great time at Copper Tops , within minutes of all the local shops, pubs and cafes. The stairs are quite steep which I found a challenge so anyone with mobility issues would not find them easy.

My husband and I stayed at Coppertops with my brother and his wife and our 80-something mother. We had a fabulous week together exploring the Lake District and Coppertops was the perfect temporary home - clean, well equipped and comfortably and cozily decorated. We appreciated that each room had its separate bathroom. We love staying in Hawkshead -Read more groceries, pubs, walking trails just steps away, and the quaint village, filled with flowers, is magical to this family from the US. Hide

A lovely place in the centre of Hawkshead. There was a welcome pack of edible goodies provided. Good to have hooks on the inside of the bathroom doors.

The property needs a deep clean and updating of fixtures and fittings, the central heating system isnt sufficient to heat certain rooms efficiently
