    “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 ...

    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.

    - Iain, October 2025

    Iain, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, feedback is important for me and I aim to act on all information provided by yourself in a quick and timely manner. I have raised an issue with the letting agency regarding spider webs as they provide the cleaning staff, as for the loose kicker board / plinth in the kitchen it has been measured and will be replaced ASAP. Thank you once again for your review. Kind regards, Johnny & Alda, Owners. Property Owner

The property

Ann Tysons House, a delightful cottage steep in local history rests in the heart of Hawkshead, Cumbria, well-positioned within the Lake District National Park.

This three-bedroom cottage oozes character and charm, with original beamed ceilings, artex walls, and antique furniture found throughout, whilst mixed with contemporary appliances, offering a wonderful base for a family or group of six friends, looking to enjoy the Lakes.

Park up off-road and travel on foot down the delightful, cobbled streets, with the cottage resting in a pretty, yet historic part of the village.

Step indoors and be greeted by the welcoming living/dining room, with plenty of seating space upon the leather sofas, a dining table for six guests, and a lovely woodburning stove on offer, enveloped by an original, exposed fireplace; with local artwork dotted throughout, including the push chair above the staircase, made for the owners great grandchildren and the large bed in bedroom one originally belonging to John Ruskin, purchased by the owners family in 1931.

Ann Tyson lived in this block of property & offered lodgings to the boys who attended the Grammar School, the Wordsworth boys were some of her lodgers, William being one of them. The kitchen/diner offers a sleek, well-equipped space to prepare meals and enjoy brunch, whilst the rear patio provides a private and enclosed area to dine alfresco in the Cumbria air; be sure to enjoy a fresh morning coffee or a late-night tipple from this space. When the time comes to retire to your three bedrooms, you'll find a super-king-size with en-suite walk-in shower, a double with en-suite walk-in shower, and a twin with basin, all featuring dark, wooden furniture and traditional interiors; each bedroom is fitted with a TV, allowing you to catch up on your favourite shows at the end of a long day.

Lastly, a shower room with walk-in shower, and a cloakroom/utility with washing machine and tumble dryer complete this wonderful home.

Begin your stay by exploring the quaint village of Hawkshead; admire the stunning scenery and unique architecture, from the 14th-century Church of St. Michael and All Angels to the Hawkshead Grammar School, the first of its kind in the country.

Sample the local delicacies at one of the traditional pubs and boutiques or treat yourself to a sweet treat at one of the unique cafes.

Then, make your way towards Ambleside where you can enjoy a variety of activities, from walking and cycling routes, to boat rides and shopping.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

HAWKSHEAD

Ambleside 5.1 miles; Kendal 17.4 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.
