A brief but very pleasant stay! I slept over before a trail marathon the early the next morning in Grizedale Forest. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful. They offered to run me down to the start line, I needed my car, but that was very kind! They supplied me with coffee at 6:15am made my porridge and provided a a take away sausage sarnie which I ate when I finished the race and was like heaven at that point! The room was very clean and comfortable for the night and I had a lovely meal at Billy’s round the corner (4mins walk).

The house itself was very beautiful and impressive with lots of character which suited the old village of Hawkshead. The spiral stairs and semi-circular landing were charming features. The rooms were so very clean and comfortable - with lovely new beds. Clean, fresh and spacious bathroom too - with a powerful shower. The owners gave us a warm welcome and were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had. Parking was available at the back of the house, which is so useful in a place like Hawkshead. The house is located in the village and all the amenities are a short walk away. In the front forecourt there are seats which in the summer would be a lovely place to sit. Hawkshead is one of the prettiest villages in the Lake District and well situated for touring etc. Overall, a great place to stay !
