“Gorgeous cottage in the countryside and literally on a working farm.”

It’s clean and very, very comfortable - we had fantastic nights sleep. The hot tub was great and plastic glasses, robes and slippers were provided for it. In easy walking distance of Hawkshead either across the fields or on the roadside. We had a lovely girls weekend and would not hesitate to go back.

“We had a fantastic week at Shepherds Cottage.”

A great location to explore the Lakes and a only a short walk to Hawkshead where we enjoyed a couple of lovely meals. Grizedale forest is only a 5 minute drive away so we went on lots of walks and bike rides around the forest and then headed back to the cottage to enjoy the hot tub. Our 2 children (7&5) can’t wait to go back!

“Really nice cottage , would stay again and recommend to friends .”

One thing we feel could be improved on is the towel and dressing gown drying facilities. We had a lovely holiday.

“The cottage was beautiful.”

We loved its setting and amazing views of the lake. It had everything you would need in the kitchen. The bedrooms were very comfortable. The bathroom had toiletries provided. The cottage is within a short 20 minute walk into the village where you could choose from four pubs to eat and drink and buy provisions in a few shops. Then back at the cottage the hot tub is a welcome bonus! The cottage is located on a working farm and the farmer and his wife are very welcoming and there if needed, while leaving you to enjoy your stay.

“Brilliant place to stay”

Handy for the Village (10 min walk) Very comfortable self catering cottage with fabulous views. Friendly owners with the Lady of the farm willing to provide evening meals and breakfast with advanced orders. The breakfast was excellent.

The property

Shepherd's Cottage is a semi-detached barn conversion located on a working livestock farm, surrounded by beautiful countryside.

Nestled just outside of Hawkshead, overlooking the peaceful Esthwaite Water, this charming cottage offers a refreshing experience.

It appeals to couples, friends and families alike, with year-round attractions nearby to be enjoyed by all ages.

Set all on ground floor, you will feel welcomed from the moment you arrive by the bright and airy interior.

Hosting bundles of character, the open-plan living room is uplifted by exposed beams, creating a frame around the plush sofas and sleek kitchen fixtures.

Gather around the dining table for a tasty home cooked meal before winding down with an evening in front of the fire.

When the night draws to an end, the bedrooms are close by, followed by a contemporary shower room.

Find cosy robes, slippers and toiletries, which have been thoughtfully provided by the owner, making your stay as comfortable as possible.

At the rear of the cottage, is a sunny patio with your very own luxurious hot tub, promoting chilled evenings after long walks around Lake Windermere.

To the front of the cottage is an additional patio with spectacular views down to Esthwaite Water.

A lovely stroll away are all the amenities of Hawkshead village with its mix of cobbled yards, whitewashed cottages, shops, cafes and pubs to explore.

Grizedale Forest is on the doorstep with mountain biking and walking, as well as Go Ape adventure park.

There are beautiful paths right from the doorstep taking you towards Tarn Hows and the delightful Drunken Duck pub, and Hill Top rests nearby at Near Sawrey.

This is where Beatrix Potter once lived and where you can discover her beautiful collections and walk the stunning grounds.

This charm-filled retreat can be enjoyed the year-round.

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.
