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.

'..Had a wonderful 5 day break at Tiffle Bank recently and we WILL be back! Proximity to the village was perfect and with the Herdwicks in the field out front, the location was perfect. The boot room came into its own, what with the April showers, and then log burner evenings! Bit of a Tardis feel as the property reveals itself. Great master bedroom with a sumptuous bed, and storage space aplenty. Cooked every night and God bless the dishwasher! Loved it..

The location is fantastic with walks from straight out the front door! It is very comfortable, especially the King size bed! We all agreed what a fabulous place this is. We will definately be back before the end of the year.

Told by email after booking to park 2 cars in front of double garage. Itâs a single garage with a driveway that you Canât park a normal size car (VW golf) on without sticking out into the road. Canât park in front of house as it is a single track road. If you do you upset neighbours and can block the road. Can park in village 200 yards away for £8.50 for 24hrs. House is lovely, warm and comfortable. Everything of good quality Could do with extra cutlery, mugs and glasses- not enough when 6 people and using a dishwasher. Would also be helpful to have an information pack. Lovely location just outside Hawkshead village. 2 minute walk to village. Garden and patio would be lovely on a sunny day. Canât fault the accommodation.
