Description

Looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of the busy world or searching for the perfect romantic holiday home? Larch Cottage could just be the place for you. This detached one-bedroom cottage is sweetly nestled in the tiny hamlet of Hawkshead Hill, midway between picturesque Hawkshead and stunning Tarn Hows. Its tranquil setting is ideal for those looking for a quiet retreat in the heart of the Lake District.

Walk into the entrance hall, store your outdoor gear and step into your refined and cosy sitting room and note the light pouring through the dual aspect windows. Walk over to look out at neighbouring fields and tumbling stream before relaxing on your comfy and stylish sofa by the attractive fireplace with warming log effect gas fire. Find your neat and contemporary kitchen, perfect for the home chef, before walking into your beautiful, large bedroom with king size bed and two lovely windows revealing peaceful views over the adjoining fields. Your attractive, modern bathroom has a bath with shower over. All the main rooms in the house have fitted carpets.

You holiday home is ideally placed to tour the Lake District by car, so why not set off for the day to discover the area’s charming villages and hamlets, sparkling lakes and dramatic valleys. A four-mile drive will take you to Grizedale, where can explore the forest on two wheels, foot or horse-back, or test your nerve on a Go Ape course. Walk half a mile to the magnificent Tarn Hows to experience its quiet beauty.

At the end of your busy day relax in your garden and watch the sun setting as you recall your day together.

We arrived to find a warm & comfortable holiday cottage, the bottle of wine in the fridge was a lovely touch, which we both enjoyed that evening.

We found a plentiful choice of good walks right from the door, some on routes we had never visited and others we had not been to for many years. This is the Lake District so some days we arrived back cold & wet, but found the cottage warm & welcoming on our daily return. A very homely & peaceful place to spend our week.

Larch cottage was very cosy and comfortable.

The small garden was very nice to sit out in with coffee in the morning or evening. The weather was good so a perfect stay.

We have very much loved our stay at Larch Cottage: A cosy little cottage with a lovely kitchen, offering endless walking opportunities.

From the cottage, you can easily set off on a lovely walk over the hills to the picturesque village of Hawkshead. We really enjoyed our stay!
