Amaley is a beautiful property, sleeping eight people, centrally located in the picturesque Lake District village of Hawkshead. The house has undergone a full restoration and now offers you a luxurious stay in one of the most beautiful and popular Lake District villages. Attention to detail has been made in every aspect and we guarantee you won't want to leave.

You enter the ground floor into a large hallway, with space for all your day-to-day shoes and coats. This leads to an easily accessible bedroom with two single beds, which can be made into a super king on request, with its own ensuite shower room. The garage features a dartboard and pool table, a perfect spot for the children on those occasional rainy days. Attached to the garage is a dedicated boot room, with space for walking boots, outdoor clothing, and equipment.

Upstairs, there is the magnificent open living area, with a modern fully equipped kitchen, large dining table, and comfortable sofas centred around a relaxing log burner and Smart TV. With aspect views across to the village, Latterbarrow and the fells beyond Ambleside, you may find it hard to head out, and instead relax and enjoy this glorious space. Also on this floor are three bedrooms, a double, king and a twin (or super king), each is tastefully decorated and each has its own Smart TV.

To the side of the house is a single space carport with an electric vehicle charger, there are a further two car spaces just opposite the house. The back garden has a steep-sloped lawn with a small patio at the top offering a relaxing spot for you morning brew and spectacular views across the fells.

Overall, Amaley is the perfect spot for your Lake District stay, the village has numerous shops, pubs, and restaurants only a short walk away, and the local area is awash with opportunities for outdoor activities and days out. The village itself is steeped in history with a 15th-century church and a school once attended by William Wordsworth.

Well located. Quiet location with lovely views. Ample parking. Clean. Comfortable. Guests have no control over the heating (the control box is locked) which was switched off during our stay during an unseasonably cold week. Garden is not suitable for anyone with children. Overpriced compared to similar properties in the area.

Super comfortable cottage that was very well equipped for the 6 of us. We particularly enjoyed the view, the sheep and the pool and darts. It was easy to wander into Hawkshead and out for some good walks.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Quiet position, with good views. The blockage of the upstairs toilet Did not help though, the bedding was too hot for the weather, and better instructions would have been better for the car electricity. However, we are considering a return
