Mr Runions

“You have to see the Writing Room to believe it!”

It is situated in an impressive building in an idyllic location in Far Sawrey just a short walk from Hill Top. The suite has a large sitting room area with fireplace and bay window and super-comfortable sofas. The kitchen is well-equipped and bedrooms have en-suites with underfloor heating and heated towel rails. One even has a spa bath. Loved it.

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.

Note: Membership provided to use the Burneside Spa and Leisure Club for the duration of your stay.
Please note zip & link bed is made as a super king should you wish to be a twin please call the call centre to arrange.
