Country cottage in heart of the Lakes, perfect for a break in all seasons

Close to Hawkshead village and near the market town of Ambleside, this characterful and charming cottage offers the perfect setting for exploring The Lake District National Park, famous for its stunning scenery, abundant wildlife and cultural heritage.

A short distance from the Langdale and Furness Fells, and not far from the Helvellyn range, it is a perfect setting for outdoor activities including hiking, climbing and mountain biking, water sports - including sailing, windsurfing and canoeing on Lake Windermere or Coniston - or golf, with several excellent courses nearby.

The nearby towns of Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere and Keswick are great for shopping and are packed with museums and art galleries as well as other attractions such as the Lake District National Park Visitors Centre in Windermere.

With comfortable modern furnishings the Granary is the perfect venue for many a happy holiday in any season.

If you have any questions at all about the property or the location, please feel free to ask. Further pictures available upon request.

We look forward to you staying in The Granary!

New for 2022: all walls were re-painted at the beginning of the year, with new blinds to one bedroom, and new shower fittings installed.

Spacious and comfy
This was a lovely space for our family of 4. The kitchen was generally well-equipped. Beds were warm and comfy. Check-in and parking instructions etc were clear. It was a good base for our Lakes adventure.

Cleaners need a nudge.
The cottage as great as ever. However the cleaners need sorting as certain aspects of the cottage didn't look like it had been touched. Cobwebs in the kitchen and lounge didn't look like the floor had been mopped either. It won't stop us coming back but in my opinion the cleanliness needs sorting.

If I get some money back I'm very happy. Below explains
Rather than write a review I'd rather talk to someone. On arrival the place hadn't been cleaned. I made contact with owner and he agreed to reimburse day 1. A week has passed and he is not responding to my requests for this reimbursement. Are you able to chase the owner on my behalf please

Lovely cottage in a wonderful central area of the Lakes
We had a great stay in March, it is very well equipped and ideal for a stay with dogs as so many great walks. We had a fantastic lunch at the Drunken Duck but not so good meal at the Outgate Inn.
