Property code: LLH50

Set on the outskirts of the idyllic village of Hawkshead, this charming apartment makes a lovely base for a couple or two friends looking for a tranquil getaway in a beautiful part of the Lake District. The delightful apartment is situated on the ground floor of the owner’s home – where privacy is assured – and provides cosy and welcoming accommodation perfect for two guests with a pet dog. With Esthwaite Water and Tarn Hows both within 2 miles, and The Old Man of Coniston (5 miles) a little further on, this is a breathtaking area for you and your dog to explore.

The light and cosy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner makes an ideal space to relax in. With pretty rural views from the windows, a TV, coal-effect electric fire and comfortable seating, the lounge is perfect for sitting back and catching up with a TV show or a good book. The dining table is ideal for a romantic meal, and the bright and fully equipped kitchen is a pleasure to cook in. The simply decorated bedroom features twin beds and is adjacent to the bathroom which is complete with a shower over the bath and a WC. There’s also plenty of storage space and room to clean muddy paws. You will have access to the beautiful garden which has plenty of space for your canine companion to exercise, though please note there are sheep in the neighbouring fields.

This is a wonderful area for keen walkers, with plenty of dog-friendly pubs dotted along the way. The picturesque village of Hawkshead (1.5 miles) lies at the head of Esthwaite Water, with Windermere a little further on (5 miles to the Claife Viewing Station). Dogs are welcome at local attractions including the grounds at Wray Castle (3.5 miles), Lakeland Motor Museum (11 miles) and Grizedale Forest (4 miles).

The cottage is in a tranquil location with lovely views across sloping fields. Lots of good walks straight from the door with Little Langdale, Coniston and Ambleside within easy driving distance.

Smaller than it looks in the photos and part of a house (ground floor). Lovely maintained garden and great location for hikes. Dont have too many expectations and it will just be perfect for a couple of nights.

It's a wonderful location with amazing views from the hillside garden, so peaceful! We really enjoyed our weekend here. It's fine for a short stay if you need a base for walks or visiting Coniston or Windermere, we loved Tarn Hows and walked there from the property. Very peaceful here.

This is a functional, cozy, warm property with a lovely spot to enjoy a cup of tea with an amazing view. The nice owner lives above and respects your privacy and I didn't hear him walking about.

Lovely location, walks straight from the door. Property does require damp sorting out and upgrading which is probably why its only two stars. The garden is lovely but looks bigger in the pictures and is not dog safe so you need to keep on a lead at all times. If you take your dog expect to be out by 9 am- which is too early, its for extra cleaning?Read more Wouldnt return here and wouldnt recommend to friends. Its two stars for a reason which is a shame as It could be fabulous. Hide

This was a perfect place for us and our dog. We hardly used the car as there was so much to visit locally and buses are fantastic. Even though the weather was poor we still had an amazing time in this location and will definitely be visiting again.
