“Love this cottage,our second stay,very comfortable.”

Couldn't find any cleaning liquids for when we left, always like to clean bath, showers etc. Would have bought some if we'd known.We are back again in September,our grandchildren want to live there so must be a great house.

“Enjoyed a lovely peaceful stay at this very pretty comfortable cottage - immediate views from the back garden and at the front opposite the stunning church and the surrounding area are all incredibly picturesque.”

Enclosed garden was fabulous for my young border collie - many striking birds at the garden bird feeders including golden finches and nuthatch which were a real treat . Only issue was in finding the cottage in the first place as the lane to turn down is very narrow and not signposted, not do the cottage directions make this clear - took several attempts back and forth the village to finally track it down. Would definitely book again.

“Location of the cottage - totally peaceful and stunning.”

Loved the views from the windows. Back garden was great - accessible and dog friendly. Good kitchen. Comfortable beds. This is an old cottage - and has quirks - but all part of the appeal.

“Had a lovely holiday in the Lakes staying in Rowan Cottage.”

Very comfortable and well equipped. Great neighbours who have us great local information. It would have been useful to know beforehand how difficult it is to book local restaurants, we were really lucky to get a cancellation at the Cuckoo Brow but you normally have to book 1-2 weeks in advance and this is the same with most local pubs/restaurants. Had a lovely stay though and would highly recommend Rowan cottage

About the location

HAWKSHEAD

Ambleside 4 miles; Kendal 24 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.
