Sunny Brow Hayloft

About this property

Resting near the village of Hawkshead, Cumbria, lies this charming, two-bedroom holiday home, The Hayloft. Boasting off-road parking, and a tastefully-presented, open-plan living space, this delightful dwelling welcomes a group of four to escape for a relaxing, self-catered break within the Lake District National Park.

Once unpacked, make yourself comfortable in your new home-from-home, by getting straight to work in the well-equipped kitchen, complete with all the appliances you’ll need to whip up a tasty dinner for the whole group to enjoy at the spacious dining table. In the evening, kick back in the sitting room, where you and your loved ones can stick a film on the TV whilst you catch up on the day’s events.

When sleep calls, two sumptuous super-king-sizes await to whisk you off to a night of well-earned slumber.

After savouring your coffee outside whilst soaking in your tranquil surroundings, head out to explore what your local area has to offer. Head into Hawkshead, where you can stock up on essentials at the Co-Op before you settle down for a hearty pub lunch at the Queen’s Head.

Whilst in the village, be sure to stop off by the Chocolate Factory, a chocolate shop with a café selling sweet delicacies made daily on-site. Venturing further afield, a brief car trip to Ambleside will bring you to the must-see attractions of the Ambleside Roman Fort, the beautiful Stagshaw Gardens, as well as the magnificent Stock Ghyll Force waterfall.

No trip to the Lake District would be complete without stopping by the landmarks of the Hardknott Roman Fort & Thermae, The Bridge House, or the Grizedale national forest, whilst those seeking adventure can traverse the mountain ranges of Skiddaw and Helvellyn if they’re up for the challenge.

Whatever you choose to do during your next stay in the Lakes, do it from the base of The Hayloft.

The charming community of Hawkshead still possesses the charm and personality that made it so appealing to its most well-known residents, Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth. Between the whitewashed 17th century homes, visitors can explore the abundance of little passageways, thoroughfares, archways, and courtyards. In addition to the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which hosts an annual changing display of the renowned author's pictures and stories, the village is home to a number of charming inns, teashops, guest houses, and gift shops. You may visit the location where the Lakeland poet developed his love of the form and even see the desk into which he wrote his name as a young child by visiting the Old Grammar School, which is still standing today. William Wordsworth is another well-known Hawkshead admirer. Ten miles away, at Newby Bridge, you may find places to visit including the Aquarium of the Lakes and Windermere Lake Cruises, which run daily between Ambleside, Bowness, and Lakeside. Hawkshead is in a prime location all year round, with beautiful scenery and a wealth of attractions conveniently close by.
