The house itself was very beautiful and impressive with lots of character which suited the old village of Hawkshead. The spiral stairs and semi-circular landing were charming features. The rooms were so very clean and comfortable - with lovely new beds. Clean, fresh and spacious bathroom too - with a powerful shower. The owners gave us a warm welcome and were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had. Parking was available at the back of the house, which is so useful in a place like Hawkshead. The house is located in the village and all the amenities are a short walk away. In the front forecourt there are seats which in the summer would be a lovely place to sit. Hawkshead is one of the prettiest villages in the Lake District and well situated for touring etc. Overall, a great place to stay !
