If you’re looking for a great base for exploring the best of the Lake District, which has something to keep both humans and canines entertained, then look no further. This characterful three-bedroom period property is part of a former police station and courthouse and is situated in heart of the attractive village of Hawkshead. Sleeping up to six guests and two hounds, it’s perfect for holidays with family or friends.
This welcoming home is both comfortable and homely, ensuring you have all you need for a relaxing break. The spacious kitchen/diner, with its slate floors and country-style design, is fully equipped whether you’re rustling up a snack or a meal for the whole family. The lounge is an inviting space for everyone to unwind in after a fun day of exploring, while the cosy wood burner offers dozing dogs a welcome spot to have a snooze. Cottage-style stairs lead up to two restful bedrooms where you’re certain to wake up feeling refreshed and ready for a new day. The third bedroom, a double, is to be found on the second floor.
The cottage enjoys a super location in the village, with plenty of places to eat and drink, a short walk away. Don’t miss the Beatrix Potter Gallery while you’re there. Prepare for muddy paws and boots with a walk around the circular trail at the picturesque Tarn Hows, less than 2 miles away. Coniston Water (4.5 miles) and the famous Lake Windemere (5 miles), are super for day trips and both offer pleasure cruises which welcome dogs aboard as well.
