    “We had a wonderful week in Silverholme.”

    A fabulous location to explore the lakes and a most amazing house. Easily accommodated 16 of us with a well equipped kitchen. The view from the picture window in the kitchen were out of this world and when the sun went down a roaring fire in the drawing room was super cosy. Highly recommended.

    Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We’re thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful week at Silverholme and that the house worked so well for your group. It’s great to know you enjoyed the kitchen and the views from the picture window—they really are something special! And we completely agree, there’s nothing quite like a roaring fire in the drawing room on an evening. Thank you for highly recommending Silverholme. We would be delighted to welcome you back to the Lakes in the future. Property Owner

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.
