Ann Tysons House

Cottage was very quaint with historical significance.

It was dark inside which is understandable however the lighting in the bulbs was harsh bright white. Needs warm white bulbs. Pleased with the wine, milk and coffee making facilities, however, would have appreciated shampoo and body wash which we’ve found in nearly all other rentals so far. Cool inside the houser even in August so needed to light the fire in the evening.

We’ve just had 4 days in Ann Tyson cottage and had a wonderful time.

The location is excellent, the cottage was the best equipped cottage we’ve ever stayed in- everything had been well thought about. Plenty of room for 4adults, 2 children and a baby. A special thanks to the owners who had fresh flowers in the hall and left a lovely bottle of wine and fresh milk in the fridge. Would highly recommend this cottage. Thank you

What a fantastic find.

Perfect clean quirky but cosy cottage in the heart of hawkshead ideal for everything

A perfect Home from Home.

The cottage has everything you would need for a very pleasant stay. When we arrived , the heating and subtle lighting had been left on for us so, a cosy and comforting initial experience, upon entering. Every effort has been made by the owners to enable a comfortable stay for their guests and I would highly recommend a stay here. Whilst the parking area is a little way away from the the cottage itself, and is quite hilly on the approach (it will need several trips if you have a lot of luggage), the cottage Village and surrounding area are delightful.

We stopped over Christmas and the house was decorated lovely for Christmas, excellent location had everything that you need even an air fryer the only thing we couldn’t find was the turkey baster (lol

It’s the first time we’ve ever returned to a property as we enjoyed our stay there last year so much.

This year was excellent too, the house has everything you need for your time away. The kitchen is very well equipped & the living areas are spacious & comfortable. The garden is enclosed & although you are in the centre of Hawkshead the location is quiet. A lovely touch was the delicious mince pies & bottle of wine that greeted us. Another fabulous week at Ann Tysons Cottage.

Fantastic location, very well equipped and very comfortable accommodation.

Excellent, spacious, comfortable property full of unique character.

Lovely location right in the centre of Hawkshead. We really appreciated the extras - the coffee beans, the coffee pods, the wine, the roses, lots of toilet paper, dishwasher tablets ... Amazing to have as good as en-suite in each bedroom with a further toilet downstairs. The following things are just minor details for the owner and did not affect the quality of our stay: The property could have been a bit cleaner - quite a few spider webs in the corners. A bigger fridge would be helpful and the plinth below the fridge and freezer is not attached. Three showers tends to empty the water tank.

Lovely period cottage in a great location.

Felt like a family home and not just a rented property. Very well equipped and has everything you could want for a good holiday. Kitchen especially had everything you needed plus the coffee station was most welcome. Useful utility room for laundry, dog bits, coats and boots. Comfortable lounge with smart tv. We slept very well, appreciated the bed formerly owned by John Ruskin! Thoroughly recommend a stay here and Hawkshead. For the owner- the coffee machine may need descaling, and freezer might soon need defrosting. Thanks for letting us use your cottage.

Beautiful characterful cottage in a perfect position in the village.

Having access to everything the village offers within a few yards, brought back memories for me. All the bedrooms are lovely & spacious with very comfortable beds. We found the kitchen well equipped with a great coffee “station” and the complimentary bottle of very excellent wine, a very generous touch. Couldn’t find any instructions for dealing with the rubbish, so we hope we didn’t miss any collections. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you so much Alda & Rosemary.

The cottage was so comfortable and have everything that you would ever need.

We bumped into owners who were also lovely and gave some great local knowledge for dog walks in the area. Would definitely come back and I never stay places twice. Was such a fab stay.

The cottage was fabulous and we had a wonderful stay from 20th Dec to 30th Dec 2024.

We really couldn't have asked for more and it was lovely to walk into the cottage and see how beautifully it had been decorated for Christmas, which was a lovely touch. The cottage is "genuinely" dog friendly and there was no list of rules which is often the case for cottages that purport to be dog friendly. It was perfect for our two active spaniels (the utility/boot room was perfect when returning home from walks with muddy boots and dogs!) I previously read a review about how well stocked the kitchen is and they weren't wrong - we regularly stay in holiday cottages and this was by far the best in relation to the kitchen equipment that is provided and the quality of appliances. The owners were also beyond generous with what they supplied in relation to cleaning/laundry products, coffee beans etc - the even left Christmas themed serviettes for us and a bottle of wine! The cottage was a great place to spend Christmas because it was so cosy and comfortable and situated in a lovely village with so much to do on our doorstep. Finally, we were fortunate enough to meet the owners who are really lovely people and wanted to ensure our stay was perfect. A big thank you for a wonderful, memorable Christmas

Probably the best cottage we have ever stayed in The house had everything & more that we could have needed for our week away.

It was lovely to stay in a house that had been decorated as a whole rather than have a mixture of furnishings. The kitchen was modern & had a great hob, oven & dishwasher & every utensil you could think of along with ample crockery & cutlery. The lounge & dining area had matching very comfortable sofas, a large smart tv. The bedroom we used at the front had a very comfortable bed. The enclosed garden area was perfect for our dogs. The location is right in the centre of Hawkshead which is so convenient for the shops & pubs but felt tucked away from any noise.

A lovely cottage in a super location.

The cottage is cosy and spacious. The flagstone hallway and large cloakroom with drying rack meant we didn’t need to worry about muddy boots and wet clothes. All the bedrooms are comfortable and the sitting room with log burner is great for relaxing after days out walking. It’s right in the centre of Hawkshead so very easy to pop out for food, drinks and shops. I’ve never stayed anywhere before with so much gear provided in the kitchen. When staying in other cottages attempting to cook has been challenging, hacking food with bad knives and very minimal equipment available but here there is absolutely everything you could possibly need. The owners are very generous, so much is provided including coffee, oils, a bottle of wine and nice soaps. There are loads of walks from the doorstep with the possibility of increasing the range by using the bus. We didn’t move the car all week. The village pubs, restaurants and cafes have good food with imaginative vegetarian choices and some vegan options. While we were there the vegetarian cafe didn’t have a chef so had a very limited menu. The coop is open long hours and is fine for basics, although the vegan range is extremely small. Thank you very much to the cottage owners for a fabulous week.

A great cottage.

Incredibly well equipped! Best I have stayed in for kitchen stuff. Comfortable beds. Location couldn't be better. I am disabled and was so impressed that there was a rail to help with the step to the living room and back door. I read a review that said that the stairs were difficult for people with mobility issues but I had absolutely no problem with them We will be booking again!

Fantastic property!

Had everything you could possibly need in an amazing setting!

Loved it thank you.

Comfortable, enjoyable house. The most relaxing beds and so much stock in the kitchen. Had a fab time x

Wow, this is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in so far.

It’s a home from home and is furnished to a very high standard. The kitchen is fully equipped, nothing is missing if you enjoy cooking and everything you could possibly need is present. Hawkshead is a great location for access to the fells and mountains, plenty of hikes are on your doorstep and awesome mountain biking.

We had a fantastic 4 day stay as a family of 5 at the historical Ann Tysons house.

Located on Wordsworth Street in the beautiful village of Hawkshead. The house was gorgeous, and so spacious but cosy with a lovely log fire. I loved all the quirky features and furnishings along with beautiful original features. Everything you could ever need was available! Even big umbrellas which came in handy. All we needed to take was our toiletries/clothes! I’ve never stayed anywhere with so many things available. The bedrooms were spacious with 2 having en suites and comfortable beds. The owner left us a complimentary bottle of wine, thank you. The village is stunning with beautiful quaint shops, tearooms and pubs. The owner is lovely and helpful with any queries you have. We all had an amazing stay and hope to return when the weather gets warmer.

Possibly the best cottage we have stayed in, great king size bed,great location.

everything you could wish for and more.wonderful.

We absolutely loved the cottage and it's location in Hawkshead.

It was so lovely to arrive with the fire already lit. It was very much home from home. We really appreciated the washing machine, tumble dryer and airer as we had lots of wet weather! The kitchen looks like it has been recently refurbished and is well equipped. All in all, it was a fantastic break away in the Lake District.
