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!

In the heart of Hawkshead with a large window to watch the comings and goings in the square below. Apartment was warm and cosy. Next time will bring two small cases rather than one large heavy one to negotiate the outside steps more easily!

The apartment was absolutely lovely. Very cosy. Location brilliant. Everything you need. We loved the recliners and spent most nights relaxing after a day on the fells. The weather was sunny every day so that was an unexpected bonus!

The accommodation was cosy, clean and comfortable and the location in the centre of the village was perfect for us. The welcome pack was a really nice touch. Thankyou
