For a fantastic family property in an enviable Lake District location, look no further than this retreat. Wonderfully appointed with plenty of communal space for the whole family to unwind together, this property sleeps five guests across three ever-comfortable bedrooms. Keen walkers will be pleased to discover that the cottage also allows one dog to stay alongside you, whilst those holidaying without a pet in tow will be just as happy with the close proximity to Hawkshead’s attractions and the impressive Lake Windermere slightly further afield.

Feel instantly welcomed when arriving at this property, making yourselves at home amongst the neutral décor that lends a calming feel to the space. Any sociable group will likely make the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner the hub of the house. Complete with direct access to the courtyard and cushy sofas from which to watch TV, this room is ideal for popping open a bottle of something and spending the night in. Alternatively, those hoping to steal away for a touch of peace and quiet will be pleased to find a separate lounge at the front of the property, similarly comfortable with TV/DVD. Boasting a wood burner and an open fire, you’ll be pleased to find that both of these living spaces can be made cosy and warm on cold and blustery nights.

A village with delights for all the family, Hawksmead really is one of Cumbria’s finest destinations. Wander on down to find the Beatrix Potter Gallery or visit the popular chocolate factory, both within 0.5 miles. Boasting plenty of shops and local pubs, the relaxing nature of this typical Lake District village will make every outing a pleasant one. For further adventure head to the impressive Lake Windermere (3 miles), the national park’s largest lake with plenty of walks and remarkable sights all around.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location. Lovely views from the front sitting room as the sun sets. Closely located to the village, 2 minute walk and you are there! Good selection of walks from the doorstep. Well stocked kitchen, everything you would need during your stay. Good selection of pubs and places to eat, if you want a Sunday roast - book in aRead moredvance, it gets really busy. Nice garden space front and back, back garden unfortunately is not enclosed. Really enjoyed our stay, would return. Hide

Just returned home after a lovely week in such a lovely house. We got pretty grim weather towards the end of the week so made good use of the log burner which was very easy to use. The kingsize double bed was very comfortable and was so lovely waking up to such a beautiful view and so peaceful too. The house has a lovely bathroom and kitchen. CookiRead moreng was easy in such a well stocked kitchen. Would definitely look at booking again. Hide

A great house/cottage in a good location central to the south east Lake District. Well equipped and modern especially the downstairs kitchen and open lounge. The log burner in the kitchen lounge area made things very cosy even on a cold night in June! Loads of information on walks and plenty of games and puzzles to keep amused during the evenings.
