    “Spinners Loft is an absolute gem of a place: beautifully appointed with quality fittings and furnishings, spotlessly clean and the friendliest and most communicative owner we have ever encountered.”

Bonuses include a six foot bed (rarer than hens’ teeth in holiday properties) and a reclining sofa for cosy evenings in. We only ate breakfast there (picnic lunches and Queen’s Head suppers are our default mode when in Hawkshead) but the kitchen seemed very well-equipped. Our hound loved watching the comings and goings from her fleece on the window seat and we enjoyed the usual ...

    We have stayed in a number of really lovely cottages in Hawkshead over the years and this one tops the lot.

We only ate breakfast there (picnic lunches and Queen’s Head suppers are our default mode when in Hawkshead) but the kitchen seemed very well-equipped. Our hound loved watching the comings and goings from her fleece on the window seat and we enjoyed the usual walks straight from the front door in lovely weather throughout our stay. We’ll be back!

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.
