The property also offers ample parking for up to five cars, making it a convenient choice for larger groups. A charming lawned garden at the front of the house leads to a standout feature: a large hot tub nestled under a gazebo, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
Surrounded by scenic walking routes and close to the tranquil hamlets of Near Sawrey and Cunsey, Hawkrigg Farm is well-positioned for outdoor enthusiasts. Guests can take a short car ferry ride across Lake Windermere to the lively village of Bowness, known for its shops and restaurants, or visit the charming village of Hawkshead. Families can enjoy a memorable day trip to Lakeside, where a steam train ride through the stunning Lakeland countryside awaits, alongside an aquarium for rainy day fun.
