Hawthorne House, Cumbria

This 7-bedroom holiday home is ideal for families and friends to get together and relax.

The stone-built home is full of country charm, with oak beams, a log burner, open fire, four-poster beds, a sauna, and a Victorian range. It’s fully gas-heated, with solid floors and rugs downstairs and carpets upstairs. There are two kitchens, two lounges, and four bath or shower rooms. The dining area is big enough for everyone to eat together, with tables that can be joined or arranged to suit your group, all in front of the old wood-burning range.

Outside, you’ll find pub-style benches with parasols around a stone-built BBQ, plus extensive terraces and patios leading down to the stream – perfect for enjoying the views and fresh air.
