Be inspired by the mountainous landscape and glacial waters of Beatrix Potter Country, choosing this enchanting cottage that’s straight out of a fairy tale. Exposed stone, crackling fires and an array of home comforts set the scene, allowing you to leave your worries at the door and embrace the relaxed Lakeland lifestyle. Set at the heart of Hawkshead village, your cosy abode is a must for couples seeking a stylish retreat away from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to experience the iconic tourist attractions of Windermere and beyond.
Overlooking the village square and accessed via a flight of external steps, this gorgeous property is made deliciously comfortable by underfloor heating and a wood burner. Escape cold winter evenings and snuggle up on the sofas with a good film and a glass of wine or settle down to a special candlelit meal for two, lovingly prepared in the contemporary kitchen area. At bedtime, sink into the crisp bedding of the elegant bedroom after a long soak in the adjoining bathroom. There isn’t an outside space to the property, but you are within walking distance of the nearby eateries. You’ll also have a parking permit for one car for use in the village car park.
