About this cottage rental
Smithy Cottage, set in the popular village of Hawkshead and much-loved for its historical links to William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, truly brings something for all.
Entering through the neat courtyard-style garden with comfortable patio furniture, the farmhouse inspired kitchen awaits. The well-equipped kitchen provides everything you could need for a self-catering stay and the large dining table is the perfect place to host a home-cooked breakfast or an evening of family games.
The focal point of this Lakeland cottage is without doubt the recently refurbished lounge. With subtle hues, soft furnishings and comfortable seating for the whole family, this cosy space creates the perfect home from home atmosphere. Kicking back and relaxing has never been as easy with modern day conveniences to hand.
After a day on the fells, you’ll find two sizeable double bedrooms on the first floor, both having access to the shower room on the same level. A third twin bedroom is located on the second floor and is conveniently located opposite the house bathroom, featuring the star of the show – a deep bath. The perfect place to soak away those aches and pains.
GROUND FLOOR
Farmhouse style kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, electric oven, induction hob, fridge, freezer, washing machine, and large dining table with seating for six.
Lounge with comfortable, deep cushioned seating, TV, DVD player, gas fire and access to the patio.
Courtyard-style patio with seating for six people.
FIRST FLOOR
Master double bedroom with TV and ample storage.
Second double bedroom with TV and ample storage.
Shower room with WC, basin, and electric shower.

Smashing cottage with some lovely little touches on arrival. What we loved was that is was home from home, with tea and coffee, a few dishwasher tables, dishcloths and everything you needed to get started. The little courtyard garden was a nice place to sit with a coffee (even in the freezing cold!) and I imagine it would be a lovely place to sit in the summer months. On the doorstep to beautiful scenery and the local pub and co-op. My only minor grumble was the frustration at the fire doors which automatically close and nearly chopped the dog in half - but there were door stops available to use. It's a cottage with wooden floor boards that creak so going to the loo in the night can be a noisy affair. The rooms were clean and tidy and the bedrooms were a really decent size! If I could make one improvement it would be to put a waterproof boot box outside so that rather than shoes and boots piling up and tripping us over in the kitchen we could leave them outside, giving us more space and less dirt!

This was our second stay in Smithy Cottage and everything was just as perfect. Superbly equipped, comfortable and great location make it a five star destination.
Tarn & Fell provide a unique personalised service.

We had a nice family holiday with our two student sons and two dogs here at Smithy cottage. The cottage is very comfortable and clean, fully equipped and was just right for us and ideal for the dogs. Handily placed near the centre of Hawkshead and so was only a short stroll to any of the nice pubs which was very welcome after a day out walking. In fact we didn’t use the car at all which was great. Plenty walks starting from the doorstep (might be worth putting some walking guides for people who don’t know the area in the cottage like the pink ones for Latterbarrow etc). We hope to come back - thanks.

Excellent cottage in a very central position in Hawkshead. Easy to find with walks on the doorstep. Very comfortable beds and plenty of space to relax in. It was raining so the outdoor seating was unused but would be very useful in good weather
