Country cottage in heart of the Lakes, perfect for a break in all seasons
About this cottage rental
Nestled in Hawkshead, this lovely cottage for $133 per night is a great choice for your next break. Close to Hawkshead village and near the market town of Ambleside, this characterful and charming cottage offers the perfect setting for exploring The Lake District National Park, famous for its stunning scenery, abundant wildlife and cultural heritage. A short distance from the Langdale and Furness Fells, and not far from the Helvellyn range, it is a perfect setting for outdoor activities including hiking, climbing and mountain biking, water sports - including sailing, windsurfing and canoeing on Lake Windermere or Coniston - or golf, with several excellent courses nearby. The nearby towns of Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere and Keswick are great for shopping and are packed with museums and art galleries as well as other attractions such as the Lake District National Park Visitors Centre in Windermere. With comfortable modern furnishings the Granary is the perfect venue for many a happy holiday in any season. If you have any questions at all about the property or the location, please feel free to ask. Further pictures available upon request. We look forward to you staying in The Granary! New for 2022: all walls were re-painted at the beginning of the year, with new blinds to one bedroom, and new shower fittings installed.

The cottage as great as ever. However the cleaners need sorting as certain aspects of the cottage didn't look like it had been touched. Cobwebs in the kitchen and lounge didn't look like the floor had been mopped either.
It won't stop us coming back but in my opinion the cleanliness needs sorting.

The Granary Cottage has everything you need, fantastic area very easy reach to other parts of the lakes. Cottage very cosy and comfortable, would definitely go back and recommend. The only thing that let it down were the cleaners.

Rather than write a review I'd rather talk to someone. On arrival the place hadn't been cleaned. I made contact with owner and he agreed to reimburse day 1.
A week has passed and he is not responding to my requests for this reimbursement.
Are you able to chase the owner on my behalf please

The house is very comfortably furnished and there is everything you need. We have only missed a path for the dog walk, which does not lead along the road first.

Great location and very comfortable accommodation. Some minor maintenance issues but, overall, a lovely place to stay and explore the Lake District.

We had a great stay in March, it is very well equipped and ideal for a stay with dogs as so many great walks. We had a fantastic lunch at the Drunken Duck but not so good meal at the Outgate Inn.

We had a fantastic long weekend at the cottage. We were delighted with the place when we got there and enjoyed everything about it. Can't recommend it enough.
4.0
We enjoyed our stay at the property though we had some issues when we checked out, the cleaners came early and tried to make us check out at 10am though the booking confirmation clearly said the check out time is 11am, which was a bit annoying to be honest. Then, this accommodation claims they are dog-friendly and we paid extra for our dog to be there but it turned out we were not supposed to take our dog for walks in the garden (?). Another suggestion would be to provide more toilet rolls, probably you would agree that 2 toilet rolls for 4 people who are staying for 4 days might seem a bit mean for some.

The cottage is in a lovely quiet area. Very clean and comfortable. Everything you will need for a great stay. The living room and kitchen are upstairs and the bathroom and bedrooms are downstairs. There is an area outside at the back with garden furniture. We did have a bit of a problem with the heating it wasn't easy to get all the radiators on. They have wireless thermostats and didn't always work well. I would recommend this propery it is between Ambleside and Hawkshead. The Outgate pub was great. Friendly staff and good food.

The Outgate inn about ten minutes walk away , dog friendly and very friendly staff.
Sunday lunch we had was fantastic and the evening meal we had same quality.
It is placed in the heart of the lakes so plenty of great walks and great scenery .

Lovely home in a gorgeous location
After an initial hiccup where the property was not ckean on arrival (which was rectified) we had a lovely stay in a pleasant and well equipped cottage in a beautiful but handy location.

Beautiful place
A beautiful cottage in a lovely location. Very clean and comfortable, the only issue was the radiator in the double bedroom didn't work (thermostat control said low battery and wouldn't turn on) and it was a cold room, otherwise a perfect place and excellent access to the surrounding villages.

Can't wait to go back in January
Yet again a brilliant stay at the Granary. I'm running out of superlatives to use to describe how good the cottage is. This is the 4th or 5th time we've stayed there and we're back again in January. It's location is perfect for us as we love the Langdale Valley area. January can't come soon enough.

This was our fourth time at the Granary and it never disappoints. Spotlessly clean and it appeared, newly decorated. We've found the perfect place for us to stay so we don't even look anywhere else. Roll on June for our next visit.

Spotlessly clean (the washing machine had even been put on a wash cycle when we arrived) and a very well equipped kitchen you couldn’t choose anywhere better to stay. Lovely and warm cottage with a delightful courtyard garden and walks in every direction from the doorstep. A extremely comfortable double bed, great pillows and a good selection of glasses (very important to us!) and a very good power shower. This was our second visit to The Granary and we will definitely be back!

Great location for a Lakes getaway
Well equipped and clean cottage, located north of Hawkshead for excellent access to the south Lakes. Cottage is warm and cosy with private parking and home comforts. Have visited before and will stay again.

Lovely cottage ,very well equipped with everything you need .
Location is great as well
However we do think that the hosts need to consider changing their cleaner as the were one or two areas having cobwebs and spiders . Particularly on the kitchen ceiling. Aand in the hallway .
Also the host is a little difficult to contact

Nice cottage. Very good location. Let down only on cleaning. Thick dust behind beds, crumbs in a drawer of kitchen and I had to wipe kitchen doors on arrival as hadn't been done - some sticky splashes (or something) on one door. Shouldn't have been missed by cleaner. Shower head was cracked on arrival but worked OK. Tap in kitchen dripped constantly. All easy fixes and if a bit of TLC given to those things, would recommend. Good spot for a south lakes base. No basics of dishwasher tablets or washing up liquid or soap to get you started which seems pretty standard elsewhere so take your own. Otherwise it was a lovely place. I did text owner but no reply so putting review here as hopefully an easy fix

Could be a great place to stay
This property has so much going for it. Lots of space, super practical, well equipped kitchen, laundry room, lots of hot water etc etc. It is an easy, well located base for the Lakes. Unfortunately it wasn’t well cleaned at all. Finger prints, smudges on glass, mirrors, table tops, tv. Dishwasher running, tap dripping, cob webs… just not clean which is such a shame. Not for us I’m afraid.

Third trip to The Granary
Lovely property in superb area. Very quiet. Well equipped kitchen. Good sized bedrooms and bathroom. For evening meals it is 10 mins walk to The Outgate pub and 20 mins to the pubs in Hawkshead. Will definitely return.
