“The barn is really well situated with several good walks starting in Hawkshead and the village itself has all you need in terms of amenities.”

We really enjoyed our time. The weather was good to us so we were able to enjoy the outside space which was lovely after a day’s walking. We will definitely be looking to return at some point.

“Great cottage in a brilliant location for exploring the Lakes.”

Very well equipped and clean - it has everything you need. Plenty of walks from the door, and the village is 5 mins away on foot. WiFi is reliable and fast. Garden catches both morning and afternoon sun, a lovely place to sit. Hawkshead has only one pub serving food atm because of staffing issues, but that may be resolved in a few weeks. Only slight niggle with the cottage was that we ran out of toilet paper on the last day so leaving a spare roll in a cupboard would be ideal for future guests but there was plenty of everything else provided, and there’s a co-op in the village!

“Clean, very well appointed and designed cottage with lovely garden and outdoor furniture in very convenient situation for short walk into Hawkshead.”

“A little gem of a property.”

So comfortable inside and out. A lovely garden a joy to relax & eat in. Location is so close to village but not in amongst the day trippers allowing a gentle stroll inwhen the crowds have gone. Lots of walks virtually from your front gate. Highly recommended for couples.

“Sadly after more than 20 years this will be our last holiday with H O T L.”

The price for next year is way beyond our means as pensioners. The 50% increase is unjustified, unreasonable and not value for money.

“Wonderful cottage, wonderful location and a wonderful time was enjoyed by us both.”

“Cold on arrival, unexpectedly had to reset the heating controls, but thereafter warm and cosy.”

Microwave controls a little less intuitive but worked well, a cunning child-proof lock! Garden was lovely and enjoyed when weather permitted (wettest May since when). Enjoyed our stay, along with the provided wine and M&S chocs. Would stay again as and when visiting the Lakes. A 10min stroll to the chippie in Hawkshead after a day out made life simple.

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.
