  • "The advert is deceiving how close it is to shops etc I took my learning disability home there and we really struggled to even get food shopping due to taxis being extremely limited It is worth noting how far amenities are away the farm shop shouldn’t count ."

    Overall the cottage is lovely but if you have no transport you really are isolated.

  • "Lovely cottage in a wonderful location."

    Would stay again. Worth noting that there is not an enclosed garden area for dogs/ children which isn't mentioned in the listing, it has access straight onto the road.

About the location

HAWKSHEAD

Ambleside 5.1 miles; Kendal 17.4 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.
