Head through to the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and you’ll understand why the layout of this property is so conducive for socialising with loved ones. Cook up a delicious group dinner in the contemporary kitchen and then then dine altogether at the area’s dining table. Relax in the spacious lounge area after a long day of dog walking along some of the Lake District’s most beautiful trails. Your pups are sure to enjoy snuggling up in front of the cosy coal-effect electric fire. Upstairs your find three stylish bedrooms to choose from, and after a good night’s rest you can enjoy a lovely morning coffee in the small patio area outside.

A lovely little cottage in a picturesque village, close to a pub serving excellent meals. On a cold weekend in January, the cottage was warm and comfortable. Some attractions were closed but we enjoyed a walk up to the church and a walk in the grounds of nearby Wray castle.

We have a very nice stay for two weeks in this very well situated cottage in Hawkshead. We love the space in the living room and kitchen. Overall the cottage was light and spacious. Very pleased with the parking behind the cottage. Also our dog was very happy with the space and the nice walks, starting at the front door.

Very tidy cottage. Great base to explore The Lakes from and we liked the village location meaning it was simple to pop to the shop/pub/other local amenities or walk out dog around the block at the start and end of the day.

A lovely cottage close to the village. Theres just the one parking spot and only the pay & display elsewhere in the village. Best to book ahead for eating out in the village too.

The cottage is lovely and well equipped and in a nice location for the centre of the village. We would certainly recommend it and would go back. The down sides are the lack of outside space and the road can be quite noisy.

We had a really enjoyable stay at this lovely cottage. It is so well positioned - within easy walking distance of the village and almost opposite a walking path that leads you very quickly to the beautiful countryside. The cottage is very tastefully furnished, well equipped and really comfortable - a real home from home. The welcome treats includinRead moreg ground coffee chocolate were also a nice touch and much appreciated. In summary, I would highly recommend this place!! Hide

This cottage is lovely, very spacious, clean and welcoming, we were also able to take our dogs. Everything is catered for for our week stay from cutlery to towels we didnt need to take anything with us apart from our clothes, and it is only a short walk from the village, which to us is a huge bonus.

Had a lovely weeks holiday in a cosy warm cottage. Really nice touch that after arriving late afternoon after a long drive, light was on, heating was on and the tea, coffee, biscuits, and chocolate were great. Fabulous location and lots to do even though weather awful.

Brilliant location- 1 min walk to village to top up groceries. Plenty walks from house of varying lengths, with some mildly challenging hills. A 15-30 min drive is needed for more challenging mountains, of which there are many. Good amount of cups, cutlery, and cookware in the house. Shower was good.

Good location, convenient for shops and buses, parking space fine for medium sized car. Cottage felt welcoming and was well equipped , beds comfortable. Very light and bright as the open plan design worked well. When the sun was shining there was always a part of the living area in the sun whatever the time of day. We used local buses to visit GrasRead moremere - worked well when roads busy. Lake trips from Keswick and Coniston and walk from Grasmere to Rydal via Loughrigg Terrace highly recommended. Hide
