Spend time together in the ever-popular Lake District National Park, selecting this Hawkshead cottage as the perfect base for your adventure-filled getaway. Happily sleeping four guests and up to two dogs, this holiday home is a characterful space that will suit any small family or group of friends down to a tee. Whether you’re eager to stay close to home and enjoy Hawkshead’s offerings or you’d prefer to explore the National Park’s fells and lakes close by, this perfectly appointed property is on-hand to offer an entertaining evening and restful night’s sleep.
Complete with characterful original beams, the ground floor of this property presents a cheerful open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge. Lovingly decorated with a neutral colour scheme, this room is a delightful space to relax early in the morning or late into the night. Tuck into the generous welcome pack on arrival and switch on the coal-effect electric fire to create the cosy ambience this room is ready to offer. Jolly breakfasts or quality evening meals can be enjoyed right here at the dining table. When sleep calls, venture up to bed and find two rooms ready to receive you. Both twin and double bedrooms feature wonderful views from their windows, always a delight to wake up to whenever you chose to rise.
Step out and admire the chocolate box village of Hawkshead, complete with instantly welcoming pubs and independent shops to peruse. Within 0.5 miles you’ll find the Hawkshead Grammar School and the Beatrix Potter Gallery, both important tourist spots which highlight the village’s literary history. Walks to suit all fitness levels are on offer local to the village, including the beautiful National Trust spot of Tarn Hows (2.5 miles) or the more challenging Old Man of Coniston fell (6.5 miles). Close to here you’ll struggle to miss the impressive Coniston Water (3 miles), a great spot for lakeside walks or a steam yacht adventure.
