About this property
This traditional, whitewashed, end-terrace cottage is situated in the tiny hamlet of Hannakin, less than 10 minutes' walk from the centre of the quaint village of Hawkshead and six miles from the bustling town of Ambleside. With pretty views, especially from the first floor sitting room, this wonderful cottage is a popular choice for couples or families at any time of the year. Set over two floors, but with upside down accommodation to take advantage of those views, the two bedrooms and bathroom sit on the ground floor whilst upstairs you'll find the living areas. At the side of the cottage, the patio area is festooned with pretty flowers and plants, offering a lovely sun trap in the afternoon. Why not amble into Hawkshead and enjoy the pretty cobbled yards, traditional whitewashed cottages, interesting foodie shops and old-fashioned inns? Grizedale Forest and visitor centre is just 10 minutes' drive away whilst Hill Top, home of Beatrix Potter, is 2.5 miles away and Lake Windermere lies just a little further. This beautiful part of the Lake District offers endless footpaths and bridleways to explore right from the cottage doorstep, or take the twenty minute walk to Grizedale Forest. After a long day enjoying the beautiful scenery, hurry home to your cosy cottage, put your feet up by the fire, enjoy the stunning views from the sitting room window and plan tomorrow's great adventure.
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. Cars are banned from the village, leaving visitors free to wander the tiny alleyways, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th century houses. With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year.

Very clean and well maintained. Plenty of equipment. Small suggestion that a cleaning cloth and a couple of dishwasher tablets could be available for use. Otherwise we had everything we needed. We picked up a leaflet of circular walks from The Queens Head pub. Might be nice if a few of these were in the cottage as the walks were great. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again. However I'm not sure if you already know this as it didn't work from the day we arrived for the entire break but there is no satellite signal at all. We assumed the weather at first but then it became obvious that it was something else like maybe the dish is out of alignment? Thanks

Password on actual router correct. Very tight in room with double bed. Ok for adult and toddler with bed pushed against one wall. Bike storage described as lockable but not obvious how to secure bikes anywhere. Very pleasant stay overall, nice lake walk nearby for evening strolls
