Hawkrigg Farm Reviews

Great home, we all loved it. Lovely rooms, a superb open plan kitchen and cosy living room. Terrific location, very quiet, walks and cycle tracks from the door but within easy reach to the whole of the lakes. We've stayed in several properties in the lakes and this is a very special home, hope to back to Hawkrigg farm. Thanks for your attention to detail Mark!
Brilliant property, we all loved it. Beautiful rooms, a lovely open plan kitchen and cosy living room. We enjoyed the hot tub as well with views over beautiful Windermere. Would definitely stay at Hawkrigg farm again
Steven
An Excellent property to thank whole family on my Retirement so wanted something 'special' which this lived up to fully, with very little found wanting. All facilities used to the full including hot tub modern kitchen as we ate in most days but also did eat at Cuckoo Brow Inn a short walk away on a couple of nights, which we would also recommend. Host did provide a 'Meet and greet' on our Arrival, which was most welcome and overall would highly recommend especially for a special occasion Great views towards Windermere to front and Coniston Falls to rear giving instant 'weather update' We did benefit from great weather most of the week we were there, but accommodation would suit any weather. Property very pieceful whcih was ideal Windermere area OK but the quiet was just what we were after and little traffic even though close to Ferry road Close to Hill Top and other attractions with many 'Walk' options also nearby
We had a fantastic weekend at Hawkrigg Farm. A beautiful house with everything we needed and located in a lovely spot.
The Jeffery's & Gardiners
We have had a great stay in the Lakes after a few years to celebrate a 60th Birthday with our family. A stunning location and great weather with lovely walks to the Langdales & Blea Tarn! Hawkshead and Hill Top is worth a visit. Both local pubs were great and friendly too! The house had everything we needed and more, thank you.
Clayton And Peck Families
A spacious and stylish home for a great two week stay. Amazing lakeviews. Enjoyed the hot tub, loved the local walks and wildlife. A big thank you to Mark.
An excellent, high quality property, which has everything that is needed. Plenty of space, top brand fixtures and fittings and stylish decor. All round an enjoyable week.
The Towns
What a beautiful home! Such a wonderful setting, we had everything in the house you've thought of everything you'd possibly need. The local pub the Cuckoo Brow serves great beer and excellent food!

What a lovely house in a picturesque setting! Mark was very welcoming. The house has great facilities and is children friendly. We have had a lovely week away in the lake district and have made many happy memories. Thank you so much.
Property was more than we hoped for and our party of ten, aged 8 months to 68 years, a had a great week. The house was really lovely and comfortable, a d a great base for exploring a part of the Lakes we didn't know well..As we planned to cook a lot we appreciated the wellappointed kitchen and contents.
