A great place to stay, some lovely walks all within easy reach & the hot tub was a nice treat after a day out exploring, would definitely stay again

“This is our 4th stay at The Lodge and again it was a lovely stay.”

Overall we have no complaints as everything is as described and will certainly be back. However, there was an issue with the pressure of the hot water in the kitchen and that needs addressing. The bedding was lovely clean and fresh but the throw at the end of the bed could maybe do with a freshen up as it had a smell of dog. Overall we had a lovely stay and would always highly recommend the lodge as it’s beautiful and great base to explore the Lakes.

“We had a lovely short break at The Lodge.”

Very clean and well equipped and the owners were responsive to our queries. There is an entrance to a caravan park adjacent with some passing cars as mentioned in other reviews, but that did not bother us. We appreciated the proximity to local towns and villages whilst also feeling like it was an escape from hustle and bustle. There are a few nice walks on the doorstep and we enjoyed watching the sheep from the kitchen window waiting for the kettle to boil. The log fire was lovely and the hot tub is a bonus after long day out walking and exploring. We are used to a super-king bed and this was only a double - one night I slept on the sofa to have a bit more room but that was the night my Garmin gave me an 'excellent' sleep score so I can vouch that the sofa was comfortable too!

- Kerry, February 2024
John February 2024

“Amazing relaxing break from me the mrs and dog.”

Would absolutely recommend and we are booking again. Little things like what the owners provide on top is so help full. With the location just making things so easy.

- John, February 2024
Tony January 2024

“Lovely little lodge with everything needed for a cosy romantic break, nice modern and spacious bathroom, bedroom was cosy and we slept well, kitchen and lounge area has high ceilings and some nice little touches throughout, the chess set and range of games were a nice y and the log burner was lovely to use on a cold night in January and the mezzanine was nice little extra surprise.”

Didn’t get to use the hot tub due to the awful weather but would have been a welcome luxury after a hard days climbing. The stars on a night were awesome, will definitely be returning!

- Tony, January 2024
John October 2023

“Lovely comfortable cottage, well equipped with all the kitchen equipment you would need, plenty of towels too.”

Logs were provided for the fire aswel as coal if needed but could do with something better than cigarette lighters to light it, like a safety gas lighter. Hot tub was great but could do with some kind of overhead cover so it's useable when raining. On the down side the economy 7 water heating was very noisy during the early hours of the morning and the hot water pressure was very low and we only managed a small trickle of water from the hot tap in the bathroom. I would advise to take torches as we had a power cut for one and have hours on one night and the neighbouring cottage said it was very common and always happens. Short walk to the White Heart pub which is worth a visit and lots of other places to visit nearby.

- John, October 2023

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay at the Lodge. We agree with you that the Lodge is a lovely well-equipped, well-located holiday cottage. I am glad you were able to make use of the plentiful supply of logs and coal for the log burner which are provided at no additional cost to all guests. As regards the cover for the hot tub we prefer guests to have an uninterrupted view of the night sky and find that the experience of the hot tub in the rain is one to be enjoyed (given that only your head is not under 39C water). I am sorry about your issue with the water heater, which could have been remedied by a call to me or simply switching it to come on during the day when you were out. Finally on the water pressure we were experiencing some issues with this during your stay, however these have been resolved by the recent refurbishment of the bathroom which has resulted in a new large walk-in shower, new underfloor heating and new vanity unit Property Owner

David September 2023

“The property was warm, but lacked comfortable chair or sofa.”

The existing sofa was a bit grubby and smelly. However the rest of the property was generally in good order. We could not open the top drawer on the freezer because it was iced up. The passing traffic entering and exiting the caravan park can be a bit loud. However the stand out feature is the hot tub, which more than balanced out, any negatives.

- David, September 2023

Thank your for your positive comments and glad you enjoyed your stay at our property. Thank you for bringing to our attention the issue with the freezer top drawer - however there are three other large drawers in the freezer which should have been more than sufficient for your requirements. I am sorry that you found the corner, well upholstered, sofa uncomfortable and grubby. We regularly have the sofa professionally steam cleaned and have not previously had any comments about comfort. Sofas can be very like beds in that its very much a personal preference about what is comfortable and what is not. Property Owner
Debra September 2023

“We loved this dog friendly, very clean cottage.”

enjoyed walks directly from the cottage and is a good base to explore windermere, Ambleside and our favourite, grasmere. we would also recommend roanhead if you like a good dog friendly beach. the local pub is friendly and we can recommend the Sunday dinner which is served both lunch and evening. the hot tub was a welcomed addition after long walks the only slight niggle was being at the entrance to the caravan park. we always search for isolated cottages which this was listed as such. it is isolated but traffic in and out of the caravan park detracted from that a bit. didn't spoil anything though. we would definitely use again

- Debra, September 2023
Clive August 2023

“This was our second visit to The Lodge at Bouth and we will definitely be returning again in the future.”

Everything was top quality with lots of information about local walks, pubs and facilities near by. Being able to relax in the hot tub after a long walk just added to the holiday. Thank you so much for a fantastic holiday.

- Clive, August 2023

An ideal base for exploring The Lake District! We feel very relaxed after a long weekend here!

Paul March 2023

“Incredible little cottage.”

We had such a warm, comfortable stay. Everything we needed was at hand. So clean and tidy. We made the lodge our home for the weekend and, if I thought I could afford it, would be putting an offer on the property. Perfectly sited, the Lodge comes highly recommended to anyone and everyone.

- Paul, March 2023
Richard March 2023

Danielle January 2023

“We had a wonderful week at the lodge, it was so peaceful and the location is perfect for exploring the lakes.”

The lodge has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the hot tub and log burning stove were perfect after a day exploring. Despite the fact we stayed in January I would have liked to have a table and chairs in the garden outside to sit and enjoy the views and read but it didn't take away from our experience which was 5 star ⭐ we will definitely book again. Thank you for all your help too with our queries which were answered promptly. We recommend booking the lodge as you won't be disappointed.

- Danielle, January 2023
Rebecca December 2022

“We had a fantastic week in this beautiful property over Christmas.”

It had everything we needed, and more. The lodge was easy to find, had a fantastic location, it was so well equipped, comfortable and cosy!

- Rebecca, December 2022
Jess December 2022

“Beautifully presented property, everything you need for a comfortable stay.”

Beautiful location for nice walks. Down side was the Internet connection was poor and kept cutting out during our stay, streaming films on the TV was interrupted and mobiles kept loosing connection, we had no mobile service in the area so relied on it to contact relatives when in the property, the central heating wasn't quite enough given we came this time of year and it reached -8 at one point, we didn't have control of the central heating but could do boosts with the electric heaters and fire once I practiced how to use it lol, the hot tube wasn't at temperature for the first night but got to use for the rest of the week with no issue, good communication with the owners who were helpful and prompt, overall lovely property just got caught out with the cold and snowy weather

- Jess, December 2022
Lucy December 2022

“We loved our stay at the lodge.”

Fab surroundings and beautiful place. Hot tub was lovely and some amazing walks nearby and further afield. We would definitely return in the future.

Claire October 2022

“A fantastic property, top end facilities.”

Hot tub a sheer delight! Loved the dishwasher too. Super warm and hubby mastered the art of fire making ! Lovely walks from the front door or a short drive away. A great week.

- Claire, October 2022
Tanya September 2022

“Beautiful lodge in perfect area but could do with a good clean.”

The bedroom floor was dirty. There was white dog hair everywhere even though you have a no dog policy on furniture. bathroom needs updating. The fire and hot tub were great.

Sandra July 2022

“The property is in a good location,,everything we needed in the property a few minor issues, but this did not spoil our stay, lovely view, hot tub was very relaxing after our days out, overall good.”

- Sandra, July 2022
Julie July 2022

“I cannot thank you enough for letting us stay at your Cottage.”

The location, view and inside the property was outstanding, there was everything you would need for an enjoyable stay. It was just perfect. Can't wait to stay again.

- Julie, July 2022
Trevor May 2022

“Very comfortable and enjoyable stay.”

Only 2 minor gripes, the patio set atop the stairs in the garden was rusty, broken and unusable. Also the mop and bucket were stored damp in the closet, creating a mildew smell within the bedroom on arrival, this was easily fixed by placing it outside, a small point but important for first impressions. Overall a comfortable, enjoyable, problem free stay, hotub was fantastic.

- Trevor, May 2022
Sharyn May 2022

“This is our second time staying at The Lodge.”

It was like returning to an old friend. Well equipped. Comfortable. With beautiful views. Away from the hustle and bustle but with everything on your doorstep. We toured mainly on the western side this time. Not to be missed. Thanks to Ian the owner when we had a power cut.

- Sharyn, May 2022
Rebecca April 2022

“Lovely stay at The Lodge, fantastic location, the lodge has everything you could possibly need, the hot tub was fantastic although it was slightly too hot for us!”

There’s some fantastic suggestions for walks provided which was great. Overall a fab stay and we’ll definitely be looking to revisit in the future.

- Rebecca, April 2022
Fiona April 2022

“A lovely lodge which is fully equipped for everything you need during your stay.”

The Lodge is in an ideal location in the lovely village of Bouth with a friendly staffed pub. Close to all the areas we wanted to visit including Windermere and Coniston lakes. This was our second visit to The Lodge and we will certainly be back.

- Fiona, April 2022
Simon March 2022

“Lovely welcome pack to greet us on arrival.”

A very clean, comfortable and well presented cottage. The location is ideal for walking or touring the lakes. The White Hart and Huntsman's Lodge are both friendly and worth a visit. Close to Lakeside and Bo'ness for Windermere tours. Will definitely visit again.

- Simon, March 2022
Melissa February 2022

“This was our 2nd stay at The Lodge, which had been modernised since our last visit, new radiators and wall mounted TV, etc.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very warm. The kitchen is very well equipped so you can cook full meals ... if you want to! Loved the personal touches of wine, milk, and toiletries. We did 4 of the walks in the visitors book as well as a few of our own, including Hellvelyn! We arrived in a storm then had another during our stay which affected the areas power supply, including the cottage , the owner could not have been any more helpful, keeping us updated on information as to when the power would be reconnected, a lovely gentleman who lives behind the cottage also checked on us as did the man who cleaned the hot tub! We had a perfect stay and will definitely return for a 3rd visit!

- Melissa, February 2022
Andrew January 2022

“Well we will definitely be back.”

Absolutely stunning accommodation which was far better in the flesh than online. Beautifully positioned in an amazing landscape you couldn't ask for more. Myself and my partner loved climbing the mountains and after finding a warm cosy pub for a well earned pint and food there was no better place to come back to for 100% relaxation and recuperation with the hot tub and fire. Very private and quiet a little gem .

- Andrew, January 2022
Georgina January 2022

“Love this place - we have been back for years now and each time it’s a wonderful little break away.”

Love the quiet location and the lovely little touches from the owners. Nothing better than getting into a hot tub after a beautiful 10 mile walk in the Lakes!!

Rachel October 2021

“Location was perfect, not to far a drive to anything.”

Pub up the road provided lovely home made food. Hot tub was great after a day out. If I'm being picky, the shower was small, bed too hard for my taste. All in all we had a perfect stay, even the weather didn't put us off.

- Rachel, October 2021
Leslie October 2021

“What a fantastic cottage, it was so clean and it had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay.”

the hot tub was clean and warm and little touches like leaving a bottle of wine and some milk in the fridge was really thoughtful. would recommend it to anybody who wants a a relaxing comfortable break in the stunning lake district, loved it

- Leslie, October 2021
Lauren August 2021

“Fantastic place to stay.”

After a long day of walking the hot tub was just perfect for relaxing. I would recommend the lodge to anyone as it just exceeded our expectations.

- Lauren, August 2021
Caroline August 2021

“Main living area was bigger than expected which was a nice surprise and it was spotlessly clean everywhere.”

There is also a good mezzanine area for storage. Hot tub and outdoor area were an absolute delight with stunning views from outdoor table. Think worth making it clear there is a small but well used road that leads to the caravan park, it wasn’t an issue for us and was lovely and quiet at night but quite busy in day. Double bed quite small so very little room to move about and shower door was rather fragile, often coming off it’s runners, again not a big issue but may bother some. Garden could do with a little TLC but we don’t mind the natural look. Overall a lovely relaxing place to stay

- Caroline, August 2021

Heather June 2021

“We'd been looking forward to going to The Lodge for well over a year (Covid don't you know.”

) We weren't disappointed. It is lovely. Waking up in the morning to that view was just incredible. I could live with some more of that! You'll need to book well in advance if you want to experience The Lodge because once you've been you'll want more.

- Heather, June 2021
Katrina May 2021

“It was so peaceful and a gorgeous setting , it did rain but did not put a dampener on our holiday , the cottage was even better in true life to the photos .”

“The lodge was as detailed.”

It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The hot tub was very welcoming after a long day of walking. The location was perfect for visiting Lakes Windermere and Coniston. I would definitely recommend this lodge to family and friends

- Fiona, April 2021
James October 2020

“Amazing place !”

Beautiful location and Lodge looks fantastic. We had a lovely time. However, Lodge was not clean. When we arrived, there was an empty juice bottle left under the table, the sofa area particularly dirty - i dropped the TV remote under the sofa and it was covered in filth when I picked it up. Hot tub was great but few jets kept falling out

- James, October 2020

I am really glad you found the Lodge amazing – we also believe it’s a truly special and amazing place and one in which we take immense pride. It is also a property that we routinely receive 100% feedback on across all criteria. However, I was disappointed to see your comments about cleanliness. The property has been cleaned by the same family member since we commenced as a holiday let in 2014 and over the years we have received many positive comments about the cleanliness. It is disappointing that if you had issues with the cleaning that you didn’t pick these up with me or Sykes during the stay when we would have been able to look into them and address them whilst you were there. I have since reached out to you via email following receipt of your comments, which were only received after your stay, but have not had any response from you. Property Owner

We loved everything about The Lodge , it's in a lovely setting with beautiful scenery, has all the home comforts you could wish for, very clean, the log burner and hot tub were the highlights for us xx

“Gorgeous cottage with everything you would need for stay, hot tub and wood stove were well hammered in between lovely walks.”

Communication with the owner was good and informative, great location, the milk, wine, tea and coffee that was left was much appreciated, will definitely recommend this cottage.

Ryan March 2020

- Ryan, March 2020
Sally February 2020

“Fabulous cottage.”

Very comfortable and home from home. Had been concerned with other reviews but am pleased to say the cottage was very clean and the hot tub very well maintained and immaculate. Lovely location. Great to be with the sheep but equally very handy for main roads to Bowness-On-Windermere and Coniston. The sofa is really comfy and very relaxing in front of the log fire. We loved this cottage and am sure we will return.

- Sally, February 2020
Derek January 2020

“This is our 2nd stay at The Lodge and loved it again so much we are already looking to book our 3rd stay.”

It is so cosy and comfortable with everything you would need to make any stay perfect. The hot tub is accessed from the bedroom which gives you that extra privacy, in fact the whole area is so private and quiet. The local area is great for walks with the dog and the local towns are great for shopping. I can’t rate this cottage highly enough.

- Derek, January 2020
Benjamin December 2019

“Everything was perfect!”

The place was really cozy, nice and clean. Hot shower, heaters, fire place (with logs and coals provided) and the hot tub. We really love the place and will definitely revisit it again :)

Dale November 2019

“This is our third time staying at The Lodge and it won't be our last!”

We love it's comfortable and homely feel as well as it's wonderful location which made for some breathtaking views in the frosty mornings. We whole heartedly love it here and will definitely recommend it for a couple's retreat! Can't wait to return!

- Dale, November 2019
Matthew November 2019

Karen August 2019

“We had a fantastic time when we visited The Lodge, the pictures on the internet are very accurate.”

The Lodge was extremely clean and very well equipped, there was even milk in the fridge and a complimentary bottle of wine. The hot tub was just gorgeous after a long day exploring! We enjoyed the location as we were able to get out and walk with our dog through the countryside, there was a pub within walking distance and even an ice cream farm in the village, although we did drive to that. Our only slight annoyance was that the road that runs past The Lodge leads up to a lovely caravan park, however the road can be quite busy and a little noisy first thing in the morning, but to be fair we soon got used to it. All in all, we had a fantastic holiday and we would visit The Lodge again.

- Karen, August 2019
Lauren June 2019

“Lovely time spent here, the cottage was very spacious and clean.”

Nice and quiet, there is a caravan site down the road but no problems at all. Very easy to find with some lovely walks very close by. Will definitely look at coming back again!

- Lauren, June 2019
Steve June 2019

“Lovely cottage on the southern side of the Lake District.”

The Cottage is decorated to a high standard, with a modern fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. The underfloor heating was nice and hot. Nice touch to have a pint of milk waiting for us (and a bottle of red wine). The hot tub was great and nice to sit on the decking having a coffee in the sun. The owners supplied plenty of towels, so you dont need to bring any. Tea towels, toilet role and kitchen cleaning stuff provided, which was a pleasant surprise. The only downside is the dog friendly approach. Not the owners fault, but clearly some customers have had their dogs on the settee. When we arrived it smelt very doggy for a few days. The rug in front was worse, so we removed it up onto the mezzanine area for the week. A few more coats hooks by the door would be useful. There is a cupboard in the bedroom containing the cleaning stuff, again it smelt so we removed the mop. Maybe having storage outside would be better and this could be converted into more storage space. I am being picky, but if you are not a dog person, this could ruin your week. Not the owners fault, so a message to all you other renters, please abide by the rules and make it 100% for all.

- Steve, June 2019
Neil May 2019

“The Lodge is perfect.”

Right on the doorstep there is wildlife, sitting outside you can watch all manner of birds flying across the causeway. A short drive takes you to the lakes and mountains. However there are some fabulous walks right from the front door. The hottub was great after some of those long walks. Just to say the cattle grid was not an issue. Will be returning.

- Neil, May 2019
Kim April 2019

“We chose this lodge and its location to celebrate our Ruby wedding anniversary.”

A beautiful lodge in an amazing location. Clean, comfortable and idyllic.

- Kim, April 2019
Caroline March 2019

“We had a relatively enjoyable weekend.”

The accommodation was excellent and what we expected it to be. However, I have now come to realise that 'dogs welcome' does not necessarily mean 'dog friendly'. There was practically no outdoor space for our dog and what there was wasn't secure. There was constant traffic to and from the caravan site - which we knew nothing about until a week before the holiday - not only did the vehicles go back and forth over 2 cattle grids, it passed within 2 metres of the windows. 6 metres away was the passing road which was busy with cars travelling a minimum 30 mph and certainly many travelling a lot faster. Certainly not the secluded lodge we were led to believe it was. All said the weekend was okay, just not as relaxing as we thought it would be. Fairly it was between 'failed' and met our expectations.

- Caroline, March 2019
Kelly-louise March 2019

“This is the second time we have stayed at The Lodge.”

It is absolutely beautiful there. The cottage is extremely comfortable, clean, spacious and cosy. We love walking and there are amazing walks on your doorstep! The hottub is great after a day of rambling and there is a small patio area in the back garden, which is lovely to sit upon and look at the beautiful surrounding hills. This time we got to take our dog with us and he loved it there just as much as we did! The White Hart pub is just a 10 minute walk away from the cottage and is lovely to sit outside with a drink, they also have seating to the rear of the of the pub. If you take a short drive to Greenodd, they do amazing fish and chips there that stay warm until you are back at the cottage. Hawkshead is one of favourite places in the Lake District, from here you can climb Latterbarrow, there are two routes up this hill, one is quite steep but the other is much easier but do take care. The views are beautiful when you get to the top. Be sure to also look at the walks in the guest book at the cottage - the owners have included some great ones in there! All in all, the owners of this cottage are great! Nothing is too much trouble and are always on hand to help. I can't imagine anyone not loving their stay here. We will certainly return again!

- Kelly-louise, March 2019
Christopher March 2019

The hot tub under the stars was the highlight of the weekend! The complementary bottle of wine and milk was a great touch too! Already recommended to friends and family!

“Great cottage, lovely and cosy.”

Free wood and coal is a great touch. Lovely to get in a get a quick cuppa with the tea, coffee and milk that is there waiting for you (little things like this make a great and long lasting impression). Surroundings are great, many walks are close by. Couldn't ask for more.

“First impressions were disappointing.”

On arrival the hot water supply was insufficient with a slow trickle out the tap which fortunately was recifyed by my husband as he is a plumber. There wasn't any firelighters or newspaper to light the log burner. The hot tub was luke warm. We informed the owner of our findings and we were informed that the water in the hot tub may have been changed and would increase in temperature over the next few hours, which is fair enough but it would have been useful to have be informed of this information. We felt our other concerns were disregarded. We eventually managed to light the log burner using some toilet paper! There wasn't any safety gloves available when using the log burner as specified so had to use an oven glove. The logs were detailed as being included in the rental and then were asked for a contribution to keep the log store asesthetically pleasing, when there was only one shelf partially full not all the shelves as seen in the photos.The cottage its self was comfortable and in a good location to visit the lakes but unfortunately these niggles over road the positives. We've stayed in several lodges but unfortunately this wasn't our best experience and for us it lacked any wow factor!

“A lovely lodges.”

It would be perfect for couples with a dog. We took our 3 month old baby and a small dog found the layout a little difficult with putting the little one to bed as the back door (to hot tub and courtyard) is in the bedroom. We would definitely go back if we were childless. It is a gorgeously decorated place with everything you need and more. The couple who own it really do go the extra mile to make the stay comfortable and relaxing. 10 out of 10.

“The Lodge is now our favorite cottage to have stayed in.”

It was a beautiful building in a great location. The interior was spotless and had everything you could have asked for. The owners have thought of everything from fresh kitchen clothes, new towels and explained everything well in the welcome book. The TV had Netflix, Amazon and Now TV which was excellent. They had plenty of coal and wood for the fire and I agree that replacing some of the wood was a reasonable request. The hardest thing about being at the cottage was having to leave. We loved every minute and would like to thank the owners for their cottage and Sykes for arranging it. Will be back as soon as possible.

“A most lovely cottage set in a beautiful location.”

.could not fault it at all..only downside was that it was not suitable for those without transport,no public transport nearby apart from a long walk along a very busy dual carriageway...had a fabulous holiday and will certainly return to the lakes,but with accessible transport links.

“Lovely, well appointed cottage.”

Perfect for our first family holiday with young baby. The woodburner and hot tub were added luxuries, once the baby was asleep. Only thing I'd suggest is a sharper cooking knife.

“Property was very clean, comfortable, well equipped and finished to a high standard.”

Log fire fuel included in the price and complimentary milk and bottle of wine when we arrived. The owner provided all the information required etc. An excellent location, remote but only a few minutes drive from main roads or a short walk from the village pub. Hot tub in small but private garden was great. There is also a small patio up a few steps which gives lovely relaxing views. Thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend.

The property

Newby Bridge 4 miles. This wonderful, stone-built detached cottage is located on the outskirts of the pretty village of Bouth, which has a traditional inn and is just four miles from Newby Bridge. This contemporary holiday home boasts superb furnishings and is set in an ideal location for discovering the Lake District, as well as the charming villages of Cartmel and Grange-over-Sands. The cottage boasts a stylish finish throughout and the cosy open plan living area has a woodburning stove. There is a superb bathroom and a comfortable bedroom with a large window, views across the river to Gummer's How and an external door leading out to a secluded patio, with a hot tub and steps to an elevated decked area. Settle outside on the elevated patio and admire the views, or simply sit back and enjoy the quiet location before taking a gentle walk into the village. An abundance of walks and cycle routes are available right from the doorstep, whilst the Lake District fells, Grizedale Forest, Lake Windermere and Coniston Water are nearby. Why not travel over to Cartmel and visit the shop where the original sticky toffee pudding is sold? This charming village is also well known for its superb restaurants and pubs and of course, the ancient Priory. A drive up the pretty Rusland Valley will take you to the quaint village of Hawkshead and to Hill Top, where Beatrix Potter lived and was inspired to write many of her charming tales. From here you can also catch the car ferry and cruise across Lake Windermere to discover the vibrant lakeside towns of Bowness-on-Windemere and Ambleside. A stay in this delightful corner of Cumbria will ensure a perfect romantic retreat at any time of the year.

About the location

NEWBY BRIDGE

Bowness-on-Windermere 8 miles.

The small village of Newby Bridge takes its name from the five arched stone bridge built in 1651 over the River Leven. The famous Furness Railway, one of Britain's oldest working standard gauge steam railways, runs between Haverthwaite and Newby Bridge. Visit the Lakeside Hotels and enjoy magnificent views across Windermere and the surrounding fells, or enjoy the Aquarium of the Lakes, where the naturally themed habitats, bring the history of the Lakes vividly to life. Bowness-on-Windermere provides a lovely day out, plus 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, and admire the views at nearby Gummer's How.
