The property

Nestling in the tiny hamlet of Hawkshead Hill midway between picturesque Hawkshead village and the stunning Tarn Hows, guests who choose Larch Cottage will have the best of both worlds right in the heart of Beatrix Potter country with wonderful walks and rambles from the door and handy for the good local shopping, choice pubs and tea shops in nearby Hawkshead. Guests will love this detached 'sleeps two' in its romantic setting away from the madding crowds so if you are a couple looking for a quiet retreat right in the heart of the Lake District this could be the one for you. Come in any season. Don't miss the forest trails in nearby Grizedale Forest ideal for mountain biking, rambling and picnics with wonderful views.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

Note: Sorry, no children.
