“A Fabulous Find”
What a fabulous place! My room (Ruskin) was spotlessly clean, light, spacious with a lovely comfy bed and view to the front. The breakfast is absolutely delicious, freshly cooked and with plenty o… More

“Excellent B & B in Hawkshead”
Situated on the edge of Hawksworth village, it's a very short walk to the local amenities (including a general shop and a Co-Op, amongst others). The property has ample parking space and 5 bedroo… More

“Perfect family getaway home”
What a great property for a family getaway. We are 3 households from one family with 4 children and 6 adults, from age 3 up to 71. The Old School House was perfect for us. It gave us time to spend together but also gave us our own space. It is perfectly located with plenty of amenities in Hawkshead and within travel distance to plenty of other activities including towns like Ambleside and Coniston, walks to Wray Castle, outdoor adventures for kids and adults alike, steam railways, aquarium, museums, water sports and boat trips on the lakes. A great week was had by all. The property is within 2 mins from local bus service and the town of Hawkshead has several pubs, eateries, Beatrix Potter museum, deli, outdoor wear shops and gift shops.

“Perfect location and perfect accommodation”
I booked The Old School House for the family to go away and spend time together. The accommodation was perfect for us - we all had our separate room with an en-suite in each room. The living rooms were big enough to fit everyone in and the very large dining room was perfect for family means. The property is located within walking distance of local pubs, shops and a really nice trail/walk. Would definitely recommend staying here and we will be definitely be back

“Superb holiday accomodation!”
We rented the whole of the Old School House for our family weekend get together. The accomodation was brilliant and in easy reach of the lakes for walking, swimming and kayaking. We hope to book again next year for a longer stay.

“Fabulous 50th!”
Emma came to the rescue, when the self-catering house we had booked suddenly cancelled on us at very short notice. However, in the end, I think that company did us a favour, as it meant we ended up hi… More

“Family get together”
Location was brilliant, so easy to reach Coniston and Windermere for example. Enjoyed the ferry crossings. Very close and stroll to and from restaurants/pubs. The B&B was rented out as a self contained cottage to us, so we had the benefit of large ensuite rooms, two lounges and a large dining room. Additionally the authenticity of a very old building steeped in character. Ultimate self catering! Our hosts provided everything for a good stay right down to washing up liquid. Very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. A goos nights sleep was had by all. We were lucky to be able to see the fireworks display from our window. We would look to book again next year. Excellent all round
