Location
This Satterthwaite holiday home enjoys a peaceful, picturesque location between the lakes of Coniston and Windermere, just south of Hawkshead village. The sleepy hamlet is surrounded by a natural playground of stunning landscapes to explore; a great base for walking and outdoor adventure as well as for escaping the everyday rush.
To the north, Grizedale Forest is an intriguing network of walking routes, cycle paths and sculpture trails. Lake Windermere lies to the east, and a car-ferry crossing can take you across the lake to explore the lively attractions of Bowness village.
Also close by is the village of Near Sawrey, where Beatrix Potter famously lived and was inspired to write her children's stories. Visit the author's home at Hill Top and explore her favourite places; such as Esthwaite Water and Moss Eccles Tarn.
Hawkshead village itself is easily reached to your north; a charming historic village of whitewashed Lakeland cottages, car-free cobbled streets and interesting local shops. You can stock up the kitchen there, or drive just a few miles to Ambleside village.

Reviews
The cottage was very well presented and had all the facilities one would want. Although located remotely in the village of Satterthwaite it's a very pretty 20 minute drive to Ambleside with all it's facilities. There are also great walks on your doorstep in Satterthwaite and a very nice pub!Mr Bowen

The booking process was simple to use & informative…..the cottage itself was cosy, clean & comfortable, the photos online didn’t do it justice.. It was far more spacious than we expected.
The cottage had everything we needed to make our stay there most enjoyable…we will definitely book it again.Mrs Ford
