Overlooking Esthwaite Water in the Vale of Esthwaite, Waterside house is situated on the outskirts of Hawkshead Village in the heart of the English Lake District.

Hawkshead named after its Norse discoverer "Haukr" was also home to poet William Wordsworth, and children's author Beatrix Potter. The pretty rural village is steeped in history and boasts many 15th century buildings.

Wonder around its cobbled streets and visit any of its four public houses, cafes, restaurants, shops, museum and galleries. The village also has a parish church, Methodist and Baptist chapels and is ten minute walk from the Quaker meeting house at Colthouse.

There are many leisurely walks in the area, including the nearby Forest of Grisedale with its visitor centre and Tree Top walk experience. The Lakeland Fells are never far away for the more energetic walker, both Coniston Water and Windermere are ten minute drive away for a variety of water sports.

Esthwaite Water has easy access for the fisherman by rowing boat from the local Trout Fishery.

Hawkshead is a good central base for visiting the Lake District, Sellafield Visitor centre or Dalton Wildlife Park to mention a few of many local attractions available to suit all ages.

Make your stay a memorable one!
