“Superb”

Couldn't .be better, on the quieter side of the lake and stunning views. Brought own sailing dinghies and perfect for grandchildren. Spacious accommodation and excellently equipped.

“Fabulous location, felt it needs a little tlc”

A week booked to celebrate a 70th, a 40th a 14 and a 1 Birthday so all generations were in evidence. As a boaty family the direct access to the water for canoes, topper and little rowing dingy was invaluable. We were very very lucky with the weather and spent a lot of time outside at the house. It is very well furnished, the kitchen in particular has everything you need, huge fridge and freezer... The beds were lovely and comfortable and the showers excellent, the only thing that prevents me giving 4 stars is the cleanliness... Nothing that a lick of paint and a good scrub wouldn’t fix and then it truly would be amazing. I suspect the house is booked up most weeks of the year but it would be a good use of a week to give it a freshen up.... It’s been a great relaxing week, we will no doubt plan a return visit. The lack of Wi-fi has been a treat!

“Magical Lakeside Cottage”

A very well equipped, warm and comfortable cottage in a magical location. Day and nighttime views over the lake, even the swirling wind and driving rain were enjoyed by us all. The catering facilities for our party of 8 were excellent and could easily have coped with more. The lounge was tight for 10 but in good weather I presume guests would be outside as much as in. All the bathrooms were well designed with unlimited hot water and the shower in the shower room memorably powerful. We used the swimming pool in the central courtyard but other than the WiFi there, nothing else.

About the location

HAWKSHEAD

Ambleside 4 miles; Kendal 24 miles.

The picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Visitors can wander the wealth of tiny alleyways, thoroughfares, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th century houses. There are many pleasant inns, teashops, guest houses and gift shops in the village, as well as the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which houses an annually changing exhibition of the famous author’s illustrations and stories. The other famous Hawkshead enthusiast, William Wordsworth, attended the Old Grammar School in 1779-87, which still stands today, and you can visit the building where the Lakeland poet developed his love of the form, and even see the desk into which he scratched his name as a small boy! Newby Bridge is ten miles away and offers attractions such as the Aquarium of the Lakes and Windermere Lake Cruises, sailing daily between Ambleside, Bowness and Lakeside. With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year.
