Studded amongst the cobbled streets and chocolate-box charm of Hawkshead, this traditional cottage will place you at the heart of Beatrix Potter country. Positioned behind the village square, the property is a wonderful retreat for four with a roaring open fire, cosy furnishing and all the home comforts you need for a relaxing stay. There is a treasure trove of pubs, tea rooms and cafes to peruse, so take a break from cooking and sample some delicious local fare.
Boasting a former life as the village police office, your accommodation is brimming with period features such as timber beams, wooden details and a stone fireplace that houses an open fire. Play games, watch TV or simply sit back and appreciate the fire, moving through to the kitchen/diner for hearty meals. A twisting, narrow staircase reveals two bedrooms with sloped ceilings and an en-suite apiece, a tempting retreat after a busy day. A parking permit is provided for one car to use in the local car park.
It is easy to see why this picturesque setting has such impressive literacy connotations when you take in the sweeping fells, towering mountains and ancient pockets of woodland. Coniston Water is the nearest Lake x miles away with its exciting walking trails and opportunities for fishing, sailing and other water sports. For the adventurous, the Old Man of Coniston is 5 miles away with marvellous views at its peak, or why not discover a new perspective from the treetops of Grizedale Forest (3.5 miles) at Go Ape. Lake Windermere is not to be missed either at just 5 miles, whether you are crossing the water by boat or enjoying one of the villages studded along the shoreline.
