About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Old School House is a listed property situated in the heart of Hawkshead village, central for exploring all that the Lake District has to offer. Formerly home to William Wordsworth.

There is plenty to see and do both in Hawkshead itself and the surrounding areas. Within a short stroll from the house there are several pubs, cafes, shops & galleries.

If walking, hiking & biking are your thing then this is definitely the place for you. Grizedale Forest is a short walk away and electric bike hire is available in Hawkshead. Hundreds of walks from the door including Tarn Hows, Latterbarrow, Wray Castle, Lake Windermere, Coniston & Ambleside.

Beatrix Potters former home, Hilltop, is two miles away in the neighbouring village of Near Sawrey.

A full size Pool table is a big hit with children and adults alike.
