“We had a wonderful holiday in this lovely farm-based cottage.”
It has everything you need and is ideally situated near Hawkshead, Ambleside and Windermere. It was beautifully decorated and very cosy - shame it wasn’t quite cold enough to light the fire!
The property
'Jane's Cottage' makes a beautiful getaway for two in the heart of the countryside. On a working farm, you can get a true feel of being part of the farming community. Be woken by the cockerel crowing at sunrise, get the warmth from the AGA and have fresh eggs for breakfast. There are plenty of walks from the door, Hawkshead village is only a mile away, where you will find boutique shops, bars and at Far Sawrey, Hill Top, once home to Beatrix Potter.
Accommodation; Enter through the courtyard, onto the patio with garden furniture and through front door into property, the kitchen is on the right with a breakfast bar. This open plan living is great for the two of you to relax and unwind. Keep warm by dining next to the AGA and log burner, with the comfy seating and Smart "55"TV. Beautiful views from the lounge over the front garden and the rolling fells and hills. The bathroom is off the lounge at the bottom of the wooden open plan stairs up to the mezzanine bedroom in the cedars of the loft.

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.
