"A lovely cottage in a super location."
The cottage is cosy and spacious. The flagstone hallway and large cloakroom with drying rack meant we didn’t need to worry about muddy boots and wet clothes. All the bedrooms are comfortable and the sitting room with log burner is great for relaxing after days out walking. It’s right in the centre of Hawkshead so very easy to pop out for food, drinks and shops. I’ve never stayed anywhere before with so much gear provided in the kitchen. When staying in other cottages attempting to cook has been challenging, hacking food with bad knives and very minimal equipment available but here there is absolutely everything you could possibly need. The owners are very generous, so much is provided including coffee, oils, a bottle of wine and nice soaps. There are loads of walks from the doorstep with the possibility of increasing the range by using the bus. We didn’t move the car all week. The village pubs, restaurants and cafes have good food with imaginative vegetarian choices and some vegan options. While we were there the vegetarian cafe didn’t have a chef so had a very limited menu. The coop is open long hours and is fine for basics, although the vegan range is extremely small. Thank you very much to the cottage owners for a fabulous week.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your uplifting review, it has been shared with all concerned and is greatly appreciated. I’m pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and I do hope you’ll all come back in the future. Kind regards, Johnny & Alda Walton, owners. Property Owner

"A great cottage."
Incredibly well equipped! Best I have stayed in for kitchen stuff. Comfortable beds. Location couldn't be better. I am disabled and was so impressed that there was a rail to help with the step to the living room and back door. I read a review that said that the stairs were difficult for people with mobility issues but I had absolutely no problem with them We will be booking again!

"We had a fantastic 4 day stay as a family of 5 at the historical Ann Tysons house."
Located on Wordsworth Street in the beautiful village of Hawkshead. The house was gorgeous, and so spacious but cosy with a lovely log fire. I loved all the quirky features and furnishings along with beautiful original features. Everything you could ever need was available! Even big umbrellas which came in handy. All we needed to take was our toiletries/clothes! I’ve never stayed anywhere with so many things available. The bedrooms were spacious with 2 having en suites and comfortable beds. The owner left us a complimentary bottle of wine, thank you. The village is stunning with beautiful quaint shops, tearooms and pubs. The owner is lovely and helpful with any queries you have. We all had an amazing stay and hope to return when the weather gets warmer.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your lovely review, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. I do hope you and your family come back to stay again in the future. Kind regards, Johnny & Alda Walton. Property Owner

"We absolutely loved the cottage and it's location in Hawkshead."
It was so lovely to arrive with the fire already lit. It was very much home from home. We really appreciated the washing machine, tumble dryer and airer as we had lots of wet weather! The kitchen looks like it has been recently refurbished and is well equipped. All in all, it was a fantastic break away in the Lake District.

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.
