    “With the cottage having a washer/dryer it may be a good idea to inform visitors that there isn't an iron or ironing board.”

    I appreciate that storage is an issue but perhaps they could be stored in the bedroom.

    I appreciate that storage is an issue but perhaps they could be stored in the bedroom. Other than the above the cottage exceeded or expectations and we had a wonderful holiday and have already booked the cottage for May and September 2019

    The owner thanks you for your feedback and is looking into your request regarding the ironing board and iron. She is thrilled that you have booked again twice for next year and looks forward to seeing you then. - Sykes owner relations

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.
