“Lovely spacious accommodation in the heart of Hawkshead.”

The accommodation is very clean and contains everything you need (and more)for a comfortable stay.

“The property is in a good location and the village of Hawkshead is lovely.”

The property is very spacious, all the rooms are a good size, but we did struggle more than we anticipated with the property being spread over three floors. We didn't have any problem accessing the parking at the rear of the building, but equally we didn't use the car during our stay so we only drive in on arrival and then out again when we left. We did find the bed to be very uncomfortable, the mattress was very firm and you could feel the springs, and the pillows were very thin. My other, probably silly, annoyance for the week was the fact that there was a Nespresso Vertuo machine but with no pods. If it had been mentioned in the list of items provided I would have bought some of our own pods. It is on one of the photos of the kitchen, but you'd have to be fairly eagle-eyed to spot it. It could do with either being mentioned in the list of things provided, or have a selection of pods available.

“Totally recommend this cottage and the company .”

Great communication and the cottage was perfect. Comfortable and had some character. Location couldn’t have been better for a family holiday.

“The house was amazing and we loved staying there but unfortunately the parking was a nightmare.”

We couldn’t get to the parking space round the back for half the days we were there due to others blocking the driveway as they couldn’t fit their car in their space. A huge shame as the house is absolutely perfect.

“Good quality accommodation at a reasonable price.”

A shame that we were not able to eat at The Queen's Head pub in the village, due to them not being able to hire restaurant staff, guess that's the consequence of Brexit.

“We enjoyed our stay, few small thing that might need attention but warm and clean and quite quirky.”

All kitchen appliances new and kitchen very smart. Tv in kitchen not connected but not important. Lounge very comfortable, main bedroom and bathroom excellent. Car park quite tight to get in/out.

“Judges Lodging was a lovely place to stay, it was very well equipped, warm and comfortable.”

The area was lovely and we couldn’t be any better located for all the amenities within the village. Lovely walks from the property. The internet was the only problem, it wasn’t very good and constantly kept cutting out. Which was very frustrating. Other than that the property was excellent and we had a lovely weeks holiday, made by the fabulous weather.

“The cottage is well equipped and the lounge and kitchen are particularly good.”

It is very well located and the parking spot behind is very useful. The Christmas decorations were appreciated. Our only issue, considering that we rented the cottage in December, was with the heating. The lounge was lovely and cosy, but with the thermostat being in that room, the rest of the house struggled to get warm. It was particularly difficult to get the top, master bedroom warm as there was a lot of heat loss into the roof space. A note about the heater under the oven would have been useful as initially we didn't think that it was working as it didn't come on immediately.

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.
