Hawkhow Cottage compromises four bedrooms and sleeps seven comfortably or eight cosily. &nbsp;Upstairs you will find three bedrooms (one King, one double and one twin) and a bathroom. Downstairs there is an additional bedroom (small double), a shower room and a traditional Aga-warmed kitchen. The glass and oak-framed extension provides a large living room with log burning stove and a galleried dining area.
The property will be prepared ready for your arrival with freshly laundered bed linen and bath towels supplied for your stay. We have provided a selection of games, puzzles and toys to keep you entertained inside (and the optional use of a TV and Xbox One) as well as books, maps and guides to help you plan your activities outside. &nbsp;There is ample parking on-site. &nbsp;
Guests also have shared use of the main house’s extensive gardens and grounds, including the sauna. Please note that the garden is steep with drop-offs in places, it has a number of steps and paths that can be extremely slippery, as well as running water courses, ponds and bridges.
As well as having Ullswater on your doorstep for sailing, kayaking and wild swimming, there are a number of fabulous walks and bicycle rides that can be started from the cottage without ever needing to get into your car. &nbsp;Keen walkers can even start the climb to Helvellyn by walking up the garden to join recognised footpaths. &nbsp;
Glenridding is a beautiful 15 minute walk along the Lake and provides a number of cafes, pubs and shops as well as access to the famous Ullswater Steamers. &nbsp;A slightly longer walk along the Lake in the opposite direction will take you past Glencoyne Bay, the inspiration for William Wordsworth’s ‘Daffodils’ poem, to the popular Aira Force waterfall and trails maintained by the National Trust. &nbsp;

Hawkhow Cottage, Glenridding

We had a great long weekend at Hawkhow Cottage in a group of 7. The house is really well set up, spacious and comfortable. There are several areas to hang out as a group or alone, and the shared gardens and sauna are beautiful. 

The location is fantastic - really convenient for several amazing walks and activities.

Thank you!

Fantastic house and location

A beautiful house in a perfect location! We brought our own canoe and could pop it in the water within minutes from the driveway. Barely needed the car once we were there; the house had everything we needed. Beautiful gardens - a very relaxed and enjoyable stay. Would love to come back in the winter!

Beautiful house in perfect location!

Absolutely fabulous cottage, the most perfect location & everything you’ll ever need for a break in the lakes! Completely 5*

Completely 5*

My husband and I had a wonderful stay here and completely fell in love with the house and its grounds - it was hard to leave! The place has been refurbished to a very high standard and has some fabulous features. Whether you want a well-situated base for exploring or an atmospheric haven in which to kick back and relax, Hawkhow is hard to beat.

Hard to leave!

Beautiful house in a beautiful location - top-notch finish that really brings the X factor. Location is very rural so great if you want to go off grid.
