    “Lovely modern cottage with views and sitting areas in front and back gardens, with loads of birds and forest walks from the door.”

    Comfortable beds and seating, spacious, smart looking kitchen-diner, effective easily controlled heating, good bath & shower rooms, good wifi. We had a lovely 3 days there and may well go again. The only negative was the kitchen. Doors & drawers were the push-to-open type, but were difficult to close (not soft-close!), hence were often left open. The layout was poor, with the sink at the opposite end from the main food-prep area, no worktop next to the fridge or microwave, etc.

    Comfortable beds and seating, spacious, smart looking kitchen-diner, effective easily controlled heating, good bath & shower rooms, good wifi. We had a lovely 3 days there and may well go again. The only negative was the kitchen. Doors & drawers were the push-to-open type, but were difficult to close (not soft-close!), hence were often left open. The layout was poor, with the sink at the opposite end from the main food-prep area, no worktop next to the fridge or microwave, etc.

About the location

HAWKSHEAD

Ambleside 5.1 miles; Kendal 17.4 miles.

The picturesque village of Hawkshead 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! With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year. A short distance beyond Hawkshead and towards the Windermere Ferry is the village of Near Sawrey, and “Hill Top” (now owned and run by the National Trust), home of Beatrix Potter which features many of the illustrations in her books. Newby Bridge and Lakeside are a short distance to the south and offer attractions such as the Aquarium of the Lakes, Windermere Lake Cruises, sailing daily between Ambleside, Bowness and Lakeside plus the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway and Haverthwaite Motor Museum. Lake windermere offers ample watersports facilities, boat tours, and there are a great many walks throughout the Lake District National Park, including those at Scafell Pike and The Old Man of Coniston, and there are many opportunities for birdwatching, mountain biking, and wild swimming.
