Cottage vacation rentals in Hawkshead

Comfortable home in beautiful surroundings. Really responsive and friendly host. En-suite bathrooms to each bedroom and the beds were super comfy. Great parking and charger for electric car - lovely walks nearby along the river and the horse in the field behind had just given birth to a foal so our daughter was mesmerised. Oh I forgot the hot tub - that was great too!

What a wonderful place for a peaceful break away. The house was so comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hot tub was a lovely addition too! My son, who loves wildlife photography, absolutely adored the river. He spent every possible moment down there photographing Kingfishers! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves birds and wildlife.

Beautiful home, very spacious and plenty of amenities. felt right at home! perfect for toddlers too. Ian was great, very helpful and easily contactable.

We arrived on the Friday for a 3 night stay. The Barn is in a beautiful place inside and out. The Hot Tub was lovely on an evening and the patio fire was great to sit around for drinks early evening watching the Sun go down. Casterton village is only a couple of miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. The village its self had a gorgeous pub 7 mins walk from the Barn which had a great range of food and served Sourdough pizza on Sunday evening after 1700hrs with a lovely warm atmosphere and open fires. There is a great taxi service and some fabulous restaurants near to the Barn. The Black Bull and the Highwayman were fabulous. (We did go to Number 9 also and it was not somewhere I could recommend, service and food really poor.) Patrick and Anika were great responsive hosts and this is a do not miss property, that offers every you need for a fabulous stay. Our little group loved it. Thank you Karen, Denise and Naomi

Charming and full of character, with fabulous pool and hot tub. Loved our stay with family. Granddaughter filled with excitement throughout our stay.

Hermitage cottage was in a beautiful situation right on the river Lune. The cottage was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the hot tub, the barbecue and the outdoor seating. We were extremely fortunate with the weather and really enjoyed our stay. Walks around the estate were lovely. It is a lovely base to explore the Forest of Bowland and surrounding areas.

Thanks for welcoming us to the cottage. We had a great stay and a wonderful walk up Old Man of Coniston.

Just returned for a few days away with friends. The place is stunning with a lot of space! Everything was as described if not better. Nicola is a great host, replies quickly and was very helpful. We all had a great time and would 100% recommend to others. Thank you.

Had the best weekend here with my partner and two dogs. Secure garden, which was really reassuring to be able to just let the dogs roam. Beautiful private setting half way down the valley. Jonathan and Claire were both really responsive which was really helpful. Will definitely be coming back! :)

We had a wonderful stay at Morven's. The cottage itself was beautiful and contained everything that we needed. The sauna was a unique addition! Everything had been considered and the small touches, such as the fresh herbs and the treats for the dogs really made us feel at home. Our hosts were quick to respond to a phone call and incredibly attentive to our needs. The village of Staveley is a hidden gem and we made good use of the Eagle & Child pub and the outrageously good bakery, More. I would highly recommend this stay and hope that we can return ourselves!

This was a lovely stay in the Northern Lake District. The cottage was cosy and felt so perfectly tucked into the beautiful surroundings. We had an easy time getting to all of our activities and sweet nights in cooking dinner and enjoying the fire pit.

We absolutely 💯 loved our short stay at Nursery end cottage. It was perfect. Warm, comfortable & cosy. It had everything you could think of. We were welcomed with a lovely welcome pack & thankyou card. The cottage is in a beautiful, peaceful area surrounded by sheep and hills. We chose to stay here as it wasn't far from Scafell pike. I would recommend to anyone to stay in this cottage and would definitely book it again. It's just beautiful. We only wish we could of stayed longer.

it was exactly what we wanted, away from the main tourist areas, quiet, cosy, friendly locals( the lambs and horses) near enough to the local pub to walk off the after effects of an afternoon in the garden. would definitely stay again.

Where to start. If you're looking at staying in Ambleside then look no further. Couldn't really ask for more, everything you need is right at your doorstep, yet just set back out of the centre that it's peaceful. The old wash house really has everything you would want. The courtyard outside is the perfect place to have your morning coffee or evening drink, with beautiful views and morning and evening sun. A charming little place where i am sure I will Stay again in the future.

Stunning location and cottage. Sunshine for our three day stay, the walk's and views are stunning. We would definitely recommend a stay at Duddon View cottage, perfectly situated for soul calming walks in the surrounding fells, better than any medicine. Well done with the renovation guy's, a thoughrouly recommend stay. Regards, Tony, Glenda, Carl & Maureen.

This wee house was just perfect for my daughter and me for a few days. The house was clean and tidy, and fully stocked with equipment. The bed was comfy and the house had everything we needed. Sadly we had to cut our holiday short because my daughter was unwell during our stay. David and his wife were very kind and supportive during this time. Would definitely recommend this property and host.

Wonderful stay at Strawberry Cottage. Location was amazing so we could make the most of everything Keswick has to offer. Very homely cottage, very comfy beds and lots of local information available. Beautifully decorated too!

We absolutely loved our stay on the farm. The location is easy to find and is beautiful, within a five minute walk to the shores of the lake. Jonathon was responsible, friendly and informative with his communication prior to arrival. The loft itself is absolutely beautiful inside and out and the photos don't do it justice. It's clean, spacious (2 of us) and has stunning views looking over the lake and the Old Man. There is a cafe on site and although we didn't have time to try any food, it looked lovely. We will definitely be revisiting this beautiful part of the lakes again and highly recommend the site. Our only criticism was the mattress, which wasn't to our taste and felt a little old.

Denise and Steve could not have been more accommodating. I was staying in their cottage with my Mum in order to attend her grandson's/my nephew's wedding. Mum is a wheelchair user and the cottage allowed easy access from room to room. Other than the shower, which she would not have been able to access, the flow around the cottage worked beautifully. With views down to Lake Windermere across lush gardens, the situation was beautiful and was a perfect place to stay. We had such a lovely weekend, such that my Mum asked when she could move in!. Renewed thanks for allowing us to stay. Best wishes, Bridget

Lovely cottage in the heart of Hawkshead village. Had everything we needed for a cosy, comfy stay and Ross was really communicative. A great base and would love to return to explore more of the beautiful Lakes.

Beautiful place, the cleanest place we have ever stayed in. Sitting in the very comfy armchairs by the big window looking out over Ambleside to the beautiful view is beyond relaxing. Free parking pass is a bonus and the small park road car park, 2 mins walk away always had spaces at the end of the day, even on a bank holiday weekend. We would definitely check availability here first next time we visit Ambleside.

We had a wonderful mini-break here. Since our host had been so helpful about where to eat, places to visit and local walks we felt we really made the most of our time. It’s a beautiful house in a lovely location…..very peaceful but easy to reach lots of places.

We stayed for a week in Fox Corner for our mini moon and it was perfect for our needs - location couldn’t get better for visiting all of the local spots and there are so many beautiful walks right from the front door. Our pooch was also very comfortable and we appreciated the doggie bed and towel! Dave was so responsive and helpful when we had a minor issue during our stay. We enjoyed the hot tub after coming back from a busy day exploring. Fox Corner had all the bits we needed to have a cosy and comfortable stay. We would definitely return!

We had a wonderful stay at Jennies place, beautiful surroundings and private places to sit and enjoy the view. It’s a very cosy cottage, you instantly feel at home when you walk through the door. Plenty of space for everyone(4adults,3 children) and well equipped. We loved the location as you could take a lovely valley walk up to the local pub and also enjoy being away from the hustle and bustle of a town centre. Thank you for sharing your lovely place with us!
