About Craftsman's Loft

Craftsman's Loft is a blissful bolthole where couples can enjoy the peace and perfection of the Lake District. Nestled in the enchanting village of Hawkshead, this charming one-bedroom Lakeland holiday cottage is only a scenic stroll away from the renowned Queen's Head pub, delightful vintage tearooms, and a quaint specialist delicatessen, along with a variety of other inviting independent shops. The newly decorated accommodation boasts modern amenities like fast WiFi, a 50-inch Smart TV, a stunning bespoke sofa perfect for relaxation, and a cosy wood burner complemented by efficient central heating. Thoughtful touches throughout ensure that Craftsman's Loft feels like a welcoming home-from-home, making it an ideal retreat for your romantic getaway.

With its charming cobbled streets and picturesque chocolate-box cottages, Hawkshead beckons visitors with its delightful connection to the beloved author and illustrator Beatrix Potter. As you wander around this enchanting village, it's easy to see why the stunning Lake District setting inspired some of her most famous stories. Make sure to visit her cherished home, Hill Top, three miles from your cottage, where the essence of her stories comes to life. If you have or love someone with a sweet tooth, don't miss the award-winning Grasmere Gingerbread shop or the homemade gelato at The Little Ice Cream Shop. Hawkshead truly offers a magical experience that blends literary history with the joys of indulgence!

You can enjoy some of the best walks in the Lake District right from the comfort of Craftsman's Loft. A two-mile waymarked trail leads from the village to Hill Top Farm, and another path of a similar distance takes you to Tarn Hows. Other local routes offer access to Latterbarrow, Esthwaite Water, which is popular for trout and pike fishing, Wray Castle and Sawry. For day trips, consider sightseeing in Keswick, sailing or boating on Windermere and Coniston, climbing The Old Man of Coniston and Scafell Pike, or exploring the area by car or bicycle to take in the breathtaking views.
