Lake District Cottages in Hawkshead & Windermere areas

The areas surrounding Lake Windermere are some of the most picturesque in the Lake District. Picture perfect cottages, dreamy landscapes and quaint villages are all waiting to be discovered in this stunningly beautiful corner of the Lakes.

Loved by Beatrix Potter, it’s easy to see why the quintessential Lake District village of Hawkshead and the surrounding hamlets of High Wray, Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey inspiring charming stories which continue to delight down the generations. Hill Top, famously the home of Beatrix Potter, is perfectly positioned within Near Sawrey while the quiet shores of the nearby Esthwaite Water and Blenheim Tarn offer peace and solitude to those who visit.

At the southern tip of Lake Windermere lies the quaint hamlet of Lakeside which, as the name suggests, enjoys open access to the lake shore. This area is a favourite with families looking for a Lake District holiday, with nearby attractions including the Aquarium of the Lakes, the Lakeland Motor Museum, the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Steam Railway & Fell Foot Park offering plenty of scope for fun days out.
