Step back in time and discover the literary worlds of Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth, while staying with loved ones in this traditional chocolate box cottage. Filled to the brim with character and charm, this terraced cottage benefits from plenty of original Lakeland features and offers a calming ambience for your next countryside retreat. Sleeping up to six guests and two dogs, the property lends itself perfectly to any family or group of friends with intergenerational activities on offer right on your doorstep.
Maintaining a true farmhouse aesthetic throughout, this cottage has been lovingly decorated with busy floral accents and quality antique furnishings, an affectionate reminder of this unique holiday home’s countryside location. Step inside to make yourselves at home in the charming lounge, a cosy space with original beams and the warming allure of an open fire. Find another open fire in the adjacent dining room, the perfect place for enjoying a hearty breakfast on cold and blustery mornings. While in the summer months, elect to enjoy morning coffee or late night dinners in the rear courtyard with BBQ and dining set. Venture up the stairs to discover three bedrooms that complete the property including a cosy bunk bedroom that’s perfect for children.
Leave the car behind and enjoy Hawkshead’s many charming attributes. Visit the Beatrix Potter Gallery or Wordsworth’s iconic grammar school to get a feel for the area’s rich history, and be sure to find time to visit the Chocolate Factory for a satisfying sweet treat afterwards (all within 0.5 miles). Explore lakes near and far with Esthwaite Water close by (0.5 miles) or the more impressive Lake Windermere a little further away (3 miles). From here you can board a boat, walk along the water or even try your hand at wild swimming!
