The village is proud of its heritage and links to Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth and visitors are able to visit the National Trust managed Beatrix Potter Gallery and historic Grammar School. Grizedale Forest is just a few miles south of the village and offers stunning walks, a sculpture trail, fun Segway hire and a Go-Ape climbing centre, which even has a thrilling zip wire, for those feeling brave. Of course, a trip to Lake Windermere is a must, and it is just five miles from the property. This really is a wonderful base from which to enjoy this beautiful region.

Guests access this property via asset of external steps, which lead to the stable-door opening onto the property’s hallway. Through the hallway, guests will come to the welcoming open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with some lovely original features, including the exposed stone wall and fireplace which now occupies the cosy wood burner, sitting on a stone hearth. The room is wonderfully relaxing, with leather sofa, Smart TV, and window-side dining table for two. The contemporary kitchen area offers everything that guests will need to prepare their favourite meals, including an electric oven, hob, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. A glass-sided staircase leads up to the romantic bedroom, which has the feeling of a high-quality hotel room, only with more privacy. The bed is a kingsize double, but can be made up as two twins on request. Just across from the bedroom, the sleek bathroom offers a shower over the bath and WC. There is underfloor heating throughout the property.

Lovely comfortable stay, the cottage was very clean, well equipped and spacious. Lighting the log burner was perfect after returning from a day's outing. Good location and close to a number of local towns & villages, a local bus passes through the town.

A great location but the property needs some issues addressing. Please allow guests to access heating. All controls are locked and only on for 2 short periods. The bathroom needs cracked sink and drainage problems sorted.

We enjoyed our stay here at Gooseyfoot, great property and location for a week in the lakes! Easy check in/check out, good communication with property owners when needed. Property has everything you need, if you like makeup/hair I would recommend taking a mirror with you as there is only the bathroom one! Enough shops/pubs in the village to get by,Read more we would really recommend Queens Head, Red Lion, and the Ice Cream shop! Lovely treats in the honeypot too! Hide

What a lovely flat in a superb location. So well equipped and clean and very cosy and modern all at the same time. Hawkshead is a lovely location and has good bus services to all surrounding areas and great walking on the doorstep. Poppi Red and Queens Head are great for food, but you must book the later in advance in high season. Local shops greatRead more and the chocolate and gingerbread shops are lovely (shout out to Alan at gingerbread) and the local COOP has all the essentials. Superb stay. Hide

Beautiful apartment in a beautiful location. Its the perfect base to explore the area.
