Hawkshead, The Lake District and Cumbria
Escape to the stunning Lake District National Park and discover a natural playground ripe for adventure, choosing this cosy cottage as your base. Sleeping five guests across three bedrooms, you’ll be positioned within Grizedale Forest on the cusp of Hawkshead (3 miles), a village with impressive literacy connections to Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Explore to your heart’s content by day and come back to a crackling fire at night, delving into your favourite treats as you snuggle up and watch TV. Practical and welcoming throughout, your accommodation is studded amongst spacious lawned gardens with ample space for enjoying al fresco drinks. Leave your outdoor gear in the porch and unwind in the lounge/diner over tea and cake, settling down at the table or reclining on the sofas. There is a wood burner-effect electric fire for added cosiness, plus a TV, DVD and Hi-FI for entertainment. The kitchen may be compact, but it has everything you need to cook hearty meals, and there is a handy adjoining utility room alongside a ground-floor shower room. A short 0.5-mile stroll will bring you to the Visitor Centre of Grizedale Forest, an excellent central point for all those leisurely walks you’ll soon be enjoying. Explore on foot or by bike, or take to the treetops for an aerial adventure courtesy of Go Ape. Lake Windermere is a mesmerising sight, 5 miles away, and if you stroll along the shoreline in the direction of Ambleside, you’ll be rewarded by a traditional launch service across the water. Coniston Water is also within 7.5 miles for pleasant walks, and the most daring amongst you will be thrilled with the proximity of The Old Man of Coniston, 8 miles away.
