Field Head House at the Graythwaite Estate
Description
Hawkshead 4.7 miles.
Field Head House is a charming, detached cottage situated on the Graythwaite estate, close to the village of Hawkshead.
A former 17th-century barracks, this cottage has been lovingly furnished and exudes an almost enchanting feel and is perfect for families or groups of friends with plenty of space to keep everyone entertained.
You enter a welcoming landing area, pieced together with an armchair, and intriguing décor.
Two steps up will take you to a sitting room elevated by low lighting, sofas, and armchairs.
Rest in front of the open fire or enjoy dinner at the dining table which is tucked into the layout.
The main dining room is located back across the hallway and is layered with floral wallpaper and the large dining table is ideal for the whole family to gather around come evening.
A contemporary kitchen is light and refreshing, complemented by a breakfast table so you can relax with your coffee in the morning.
On this floor you will also find a second sitting room complete with television and woodburning stove as well as a single and a double room, the latter complete with a dressing table and a walk-in wardrobe.
For your convenience, a neatly styled shower room and bathroom complete the formation.
From the landing, there are stairs down to the lower ground floor complete with a super king-size double bedroom with a traditional overtone and matching bedside tables.
A classic bathroom lies to the side, neighboured by a single bedroom carrying a glimpse of charm.
Outside is where you will want to be on a warm day, admiring the spacious garden with its patio and pond and the beautiful vista across the estate.
Hardy souls can brave the chilled waters of Windermere for an invigorating swim, or enjoy discounts for mountain bike hire in Grizedale Forest, just a short drive away.
For those travelling with children or animal lovers, head south to the South Lakes Safari Zoo or the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, or perhaps remain on the estate and enjoy the indoor heated swimming pool and gym, situated just 500 metres away.
Whatever you decide to do, this Lake District Cottage has everything needed for a great stay at any time of the year.

What guests are saying
Our holiday at Field Head House was really excellent….
beautiful house with fantastic views over the Park where the Park Cattle were grazing with their calves. Ideal situation for exploring the South Lakes. Hope to return.
Fantastic character property with spacious rooms filled with beautiful antique furniture.
Great views across a large meadow grazed by white cattle. The swimming pool and games room, plus shop, are ten minutes walk away. Really peaceful location
The property was nice and suited our needs with a lovely shower and large bedroom with a king size bed and a small sitting room all on the same floor as the entrance hall dining room and kitchen which was ideal for my elderly mother.
The beds were comfy and the lounge was a bright spacious room with nice views out of the windows. The cottage was perfectly located for where we wanted to be in the Lakes. The boiler packed up the day before we left and although we had a very quick response from the maintenance team he was unable to fix it before we left. He did supply additional oil filled radiators and put the immersion tanks on for hot water but the water was only luke warm and although I didn’t mind a Luke warm shower my family were not so keen. Not that this was the fault of the estate it was just one of those things although the immersion temperature might need to be checked if needed again. But there were little things that we felt needed changing but this was only our opinion. The small sitting room & lounge cushions were made of feathers which constantly shed feathers that would stick in our cardigans/jumpers, also as I am asthmatic the feathers were a particular problem for myself. The dining room only had a few wall lights and one lamp not sure if this was meant to be atmospheric but when it rained it was quite dark, maybe bigger wattage of bulbs or another lamp would help. The mother/daughter light switches were a bit temperamental on the light in small sitting room. But as I said apart from the feather cushions we had a lovely stay and would stay again if we were in that area. Also I couldn’t find any instructions for the microwave. But as I said earlier
