  • "This house is so special, we had an awesome week and made treasured memories with our family."

    House is extremely clean inside, disappointing that the outside isn't to same standard. Amazing garden with lovely views. I agree with numerous previous reviews and disappointing that they have not been taken on board...mirror needed in large bedroom upstairs and furniture in gorgeous conservatory could be better suited to the room. We took our own chairs and moved the furniture to one side. Kitchen and utility are well equipped with plenty of storage space. Such a lovely house and garden keeping character but offering modern living.

    We're very happy that you had such a great family time here. Thank you for the feedback. We're not sure if you missed the mirror in the upstairs dressing room as well as the ensuite, but we'll look at if another can be added. Property Owner

Your home away from home

Hawkshead 1.1 miles.

Situated in Outgate, near the village of Hawkshead in Cumbria, lies this grand, four-bedroom property, Orchard Cottage.

Completed to an exceptional standard, with state-of-the-art appliances, stylish interiors, sleek bathrooms, and a large private garden, whilst retaining some of the home’s original features and beamed ceilings, dating back to 1603, the cottage welcomes eight guests and two well-behaved dogs, perfect for a countryside retreat.

Orchard Cottage is also set amongst a semi-rural setting of land gifted by Beatrix Potter to the National Trust, offering both peace and tranquillity with stunning panoramic fell and country views.

The house and gardens have wonderful views across rolling countryside to Latterbarrow, which is a fabulous viewpiont itself and just a mile away and the Windermere valley.

Many enticing country walks start from the doorstep, whilst the high fells are only a short drive away.

Enjoy the outside space, offering rolling views across the manicured lawn and shrubs, where you'll find several patio areas with inviting furniture in tow.

Head inside to relax in the suntrap conservatory, prepare meals in the contemporary kitchen, dine around the grand table, and unwind in the sitting room, perched in front of the woodburning stove.

Heading to the halfway landing, be welcomed by the master super-king-size bedroom with an opulent en-suite, along with the main Victorian-style shower room.

On the first floor you'll find the additional bedrooms, one of which also homes an en-suite, whilst the remainder share the beautifully decorated bathroom opposite and the half-landing shower room.

If you can tear yourself away from your spectacular abode, visit Hawkshead and it’s an abundance of amenities; Queens Head is a popular eatery for a dine-out option, whilst your 'nice to haves' can be purchased from the local Co-op.

The traditional Outgate Inn is a stone's throw away, Hawkshead is a pleasant scenic walk across fields, and the famous Drunken Duck Inn, accessed via a walk along a quiet lane.

You can also easily make your way over to Wray Castle and the jetty for the boat to Brockhole and Ambleside.

From the stop directly opposite, buses run approximately hourly on the route linking Hawkshead, Coniston, Ambleside and Windermere, enabling endless walk permutations and arrival from anywhere in the country by public transport.

Cycle paths link Orchard Cottage to Ambleside, Hawkshead, Wray and beyond.

Rydal Cave is also a must-visit for explorers, a former slate quarry, along with Stock Ghyll Force, a stunning 70-foot waterfall, whilst The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction is an immersive three-dimensional attraction, ideal for all types of visitors.

Travelling towards Windermere, take the chance to stroll around the resident lake within the Lake District National Park, set over 10.5 miles, visit Lakes Aquarium, home to diverse marine life, or plan to climb Scafell Pike, the highest and most eminent mountain in England.

Enjoy the Cumbrian countryside at Orchard Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.

HAWKSHEAD

Ambleside 5.1 miles; Kendal 17.4 miles.

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.
