Traditional Chocolate Box Cottage set In The Heart of Historic Hawkshead
The cobbled courtyards and alleyways of Hawkshead are lined with pretty, ancient cottages adorned with colourful hanging baskets and planted pots and you’ll find the delightful Grade II listed Corner House tucked away behind the main square and the popular Honeypot coffee shop. This double fronted, traditional cottage has undergone a major transformation with the help of talented local tradesmen who have totally remodelled the accommodation to provide superb facilities for a couple and their dog. The owner has taken great care to provide perfectly chosen soft furnishings and colour palates to create a modern take on a traditional blend that suits the cottage perfectly.
Famous for its literary connections to both Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, take in historic buildings such as Hawkshead Grammar School where William attended and carved his name in the desk, Beatrix’s husband’s solicitors office, now a gallery in her name or retrace William’s steps up Vicarage Lane, past Walker Ground and onto Goosey Foot Tarn, a peaceful spot tucked away within Grizedale Forest. After a day walking or cycling, head back to the village and enjoy some homemade fayre at one of the popular inns whilst listening to the regular live music nights.
A Blend of Modern Day Conveniences With Traditional Features
From the front of this double fronted cottage, step straight into the cosy lounge room with deep-cushioned sofas arranged around the warming wood-burning stove, Smart TV, DVD and window seat. A step up leads to the well-fitted kitchen dining area with a good range of pale sage units wrapped in marble effect counters with; electric oven, induction hob, fridge with small freezer box, dishwasher, Tassimo coffee machine, and microwave. There’s a handy door to the outside. The utility sits off the lounge; plenty big enough for all your outdoor gear including a couple of bikes. There’s a washer/dryer and freezer and a handy WC and basin.
The rather steep staircase leads right to a romantic kingsize bedroom with perfectly chosen furnishings and pretty linens. To the left, there is a spacious and superbly appointed bathroom with large walk-in, powerful shower, double-ended freestanding bath positioned under the skylight in the centre of the room, basin, WC, and heated towel rail.
Outside, there’s a bench to the front and a further seating area to the rear with a table and chairs. Parking is by way of permit on the nearby car park and the permit is in the cottage for your arrival.

Respond to Corner House
Corner House is a quiet, private and cosy place to stay, set in beautiful Hawkshead, so close Windermere, Coniston and other local sites. Check in was extremely easy, the hosts were helpful and quick to respond during our stay, and there was plenty of parking nearby. The local shops, tea room and pubs just around the corner, as well as the cobbled streets and Beatrix Potter museum made it a lovely place to spend the weekend. There are also plenty of public footpaths starting from nearby the cottage which were perfect for dog walks. We’d love to stay here again.
Fabulous home in a wonderful location. So near to some incredible locations. We were spoilt for choice for where to eat in an evening, food and hospitality was great, so many lovely places with great food.
Just back from a fabulous weeks stay in Corner House. The cottage was beautifully appointed and immaculately clean. Lakeland Retreats were great from start to finish and with a couple of nice touches in the cottage. Hawkshead is a lovely village with some fantastic shops and pubs.
It is located within easy reach of many attractions but far enough to be away from the hustle and bustle of the busy towns.
Perfect cottage – beautifully presented. Fantastic location. Would recommend this air bnb to anyone.
Highly recommend! Corner House was immaculate and very well presented. It is very well placed within the village for walks & pubs and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!
We had a great stay in Corner House, we would definitely recommend this cottage to couples. It’s a lovely cosy cottage with a great bedroom, lovely bathroom and the kitchen is really well appointed. All very new, clean and warm. Communication with the holiday company was fast. Hawkshead is lovely, but worth knowing that when we stayed all pubs were short of staff so food was very limited, we needed to have booked a table a few weeks before your stay which we only did for our first night so couldn’t eat in Hawkshead the rest of the week.
This is a perfect place in the Lake District for somebody wants to stay a small, quiet and pretty village. The accommodation is immaculate and very well functioned. I strongly recommend it.
Beautiful cottage in a perfect location. Brilliantly positioned for plenty of walks in the stunning surrounding areas. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you could need!
A fabulous cozy cottage in a really nice village . . . The cottage was a perfect base for a walking holiday in the lakes. The cottage was very well equipped and it had everything to make our stay home from home. We loved the log burner and the large utility area in the cottage which was great for drying out walking gear after heavy rain on our first day out on the fells/hills. The Queens Head pub nearby was a great place for a drink and a meal in the evening. I would recommend this cottage. Thank you for the use of your cottage, we had a wonderful weekend break.
Just returned from a fantastic stay in this wonderful cottage. The cottage is so roomy and really well equipped (remember to take some Tassimo pods). It really is good as the photos show and anyone that knows Hawkshead will know what a great location this is just behind The Honeypot.
Such a homely place to stay in the heart of a wonderfull little village. Perfect!
We had a wonderful time! Had everything we needed and such a sweet village. Thank you, Michelle!
