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.

  • Michael

    It looks like an IKEA item and someone has forgotten to tighten the fasteners. Beautiful apartment and we will rebook later in the year.

  • Liz

    We have stayed in a number of really lovely cottages in Hawkshead over the years and this one tops the lot. Bonuses include a six foot bed (rarer than hens’ teeth in holiday properties) and a reclining sofa for cosy evenings in. We only ate breakfast there (picnic lunches and Queen’s Head suppers are our default mode when in Hawkshead) but the kitchen seemed very well-equipped. Our hound loved watching the comings and goings from her fleece on the window seat and we enjoyed the usual walks straight from the front door in lovely weather throughout our stay. We’ll be back!

    We had such a lovely stay. The flat had everything you needed and more, having access to the logs and kindling hut was an added bonus as well! We thoroughly enjoyed our evenings sat on the recliner sofa by the log fire. Everywhere was spotless and the welcome hamper was such a lovely touch. We will definitely be turning to Spinners Loft, could not fault it!:)
