Smithy Cottage - sleeps 6, dog friendly, central in Hawkshead with parking

Smithy Cottage, set in the popular village of Hawkshead and much-loved for its historical links to William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, truly brings something for all.

Entering through the neat courtyard-style garden with comfortable patio furniture, the farmhouse inspired kitchen awaits. The well-equipped kitchen provides everything you could need for a self-catering stay and the large dining table is the perfect place to host a home-cooked breakfast or an evening of family games.

The focal point of this Lakeland cottage is without doubt the recently refurbished lounge. With subtle hues, soft furnishings and comfortable seating for the whole family, this cosy space creates the perfect home from home atmosphere. Kicking back and relaxing has never been as easy with modern day conveniences to hand.

After a day on the fells, you’ll find two sizeable double bedrooms on the first floor, both having access to the shower room on the same level. A third twin bedroom is located on the second floor and is conveniently located opposite the house bathroom, featuring the star of the show – a deep bath. The perfect place to soak away those aches and pains.

GROUND FLOOR
Farmhouse style kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, electric oven, induction hob, fridge, freezer, washing machine, and large dining table with seating for six.

Smithy Cottage is superbly well equipped for a relaxing holiday in the Lake District, great location with parking in the village just a short walk from the cottage. Great service and communication with Tarn & Fell.

My family and I have just arrived home following a fabulous long weekend break at Smithy Cottage. The cottage is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is perfectly designed and the living room is beautifully decorated. Each of the 3 bedrooms are very comfortable. The cottage sits on the edge of the beautiful village in a perfect position with the garden a perfect suntrap in the afternoon.

Fantastic stay at Smithy Cottage, a lovely cosy property which was very clean and tidy and well equipped. Location was great as close to all amenities. My only feedback would be parking, could do with a second permit as house sleeps 6 people and that's 2 cars, so parking was costly for my daughter for a week. Carparking was only a short walk from the cottage so no problem. Surprised that not all windows upstairs were able to be opened, including the bathroom and one of the bedrooms, would have liked some fresh air in the morning and for ventilation, but imagine its the age of the property. Very friendly hosts who called to let us know final details. a lovely stay and all round an excellent Cottage inthe right location to explore the Lakes with ease

I was lucky enough to win a week's free stay in a social media competition. This gave us the opportunity to visit the beautiful Lake District. From the outset the communication from Tarn snd Fell Escapes was excellent and all instructions and vital information was clear. The cottage is situated in the centre of Hawkshead which makes it convenient for the pubs, cafes and shops in the village. A bus stop is also nearby. Parking is provided by way of a permit in a carpark in the village. The cottage is beautifully maintained, well stocked with essentials and really clean. I can't fault it. Thank you Tarn and Fell Escapes for a great holiday !
