Want to be woken by a cockerel crowing at sunrise, have fresh eggs for breakfast, feel the warmth of the AGA and get a true feel of being part of a farming community? Jane's Cottage is the holiday home for you. This charming, one-bedroom holiday home is situated on a working farm, just one mile from the traditional Lakeland village of Hawkshead. Walk onto the patio and step into your open plan sitting room with kitchen and dining area. Your neat and cheerful, fitted kitchen has a handy breakfast bar. Admire the oval dining table sitting attractively by the characterful AGA with log burner. Sit on the comfortable suite and catch up with your favourite programmes on your Smart "55"TV. Step to the lounge window and look out over the front garden to the stunning and timeless fells. The bathroom, which has a Japanese deep-set bath, a bench seat and a wet room shower on a mosaiced floor, is also on the ground floor. Climb the open treaded stairs to the mezzanine floor to discover your attractive double bedroom with lovely roof lines and pretty, full width window seat. Janes Cottage is set on a working farm overlooking the courtyard, where chickens, hens, horses, cattle and sheep can be seen regularly. Garden furniture is situated to the front and the rear of the property. Bike storage is available. You will have the choice of many superb paths and trails around the local area, as well as being in striking distance of some of the best hill walks in the National Park. For a relaxing day walk to Hawkshead and visit the acclaimed Beatrix Potter Museum, run by the National trust. Explore the historic and the beautiful, grade 1 listed village church before visiting Wordsworth’s old school. After all that, relax with a drink in one of village’s excellent cafes or pubs.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
