This charming Lake District village is intrinsically linked with Wordsworth and the Romantic poets and with good reason. It's a magnet for holidaymakers searching for a relaxing break or outdoor enthusiasts looking for a challenge amongst some of the UK's most breathtaking countryside. No visit to the Lakes is complete without visiting the home of one of its most famous residents, Beatrix Potter. Hill Top was her most beloved place and where she wrote her famous tales of Peter Rabbit and Mrs Tiggywinkle. Accompany this with a visit to the gallery in Hawkshead, which holds the original paintings of her work. If you are looking for a walking country, then you are in luck as this area is a haven for walkers and ramblers, regardless of ability. For an authentic Lake District holiday look no further than our Hawkshead cottages.

This quaint village in the Lake District is steeped in history and surrounded by picturesque landscapes. Explore the nearby Grizedale Forest, where you can take scenic walks, mountain bike on the numerous trails, or try the exhilarating Go Ape treetop adventure course. With the largest collection of Cumbrian cottages, we have the perfect home away from home for you.
Here are the top five things to see and do from our cottages in Hawkshead:
Explore the whimsical Daffodil Garden inspired by the famous poet William Wordsworth, who attended school in Hawkshead. This charming garden bursts to life with vibrant daffodils, providing a picturesque setting reminiscent of Wordsworth's poetry. It's a delightful homage to nature and literature.
Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Beatrix Potter at her namesake gallery. Home to a collection of original illustrations and artefacts, this attraction offers a glimpse into the imaginative world of Peter Rabbit and other beloved characters, adding a touch of childhood nostalgia to your visit.
Embark on a tour of Hawkshead Brewery and discover the art of craft brewing in the heart of the Lake District. Learn about the brewing process, sample a variety of artisanal beers, and soak in the lively atmosphere of the brewery taproom. It's a flavourful adventure for beer enthusiasts.
Step back in time at the Hawkshead Grammar School Museum, housed in a 17th-century building. Explore the classrooms, complete with period furniture and artefacts, and gain insight into education during earlier centuries. It's a fascinating and slightly eccentric journey into the village's academic past.
Take a stroll through Hawkshead with a twist by following a historical comic strip walking tour. Engage with illustrated panels placed strategically around the village, bringing to life tales of bygone eras and notable characters. It's an entertaining and informative way to absorb the history of Hawkshead while enjoying the outdoor surroundings.
