Victory Cottage is a well-located, dog-friendly holiday cottage in the heart of Hawkshead – ideal for families, walkers, and anyone looking for a simple, comfortable base to explore the Lake District National Park. Sleeping five across three light-filled bedrooms, it offers great value in one of the region’s most sought-after locations.
This is an easy, no-frills kind of place: clean, practical and welcoming. Downstairs, the lounge at Victory Cottage has a wood-burning stove for cosy evenings, while the kitchen includes everything you need for relaxed self-catering. There’s space to dine together, and access directly from the rear into the kitchen makes coming back from walks with muddy boots (or paws) that bit easier.
Upstairs, Victory Cottage has three bedrooms – a double, a twin with a built-in wardrobe, and a single – all simply furnished with freestanding pieces, soft throws, comfortable bedding and gentle lighting to create a calm, restful feel. Each room is light and airy, offering a relaxed space to unwind after a day exploring. All single beds are full-size and suitable for adult guests. The shared family bathroom includes a shower over the bath and heated towel rail.
Outside, the front garden at Victory Cottage is fully enclosed – ideal for guests with dogs – and there’s a bistro table and chairs where you can sit out and enjoy the village atmosphere. The cottage is right in the heart of Hawkshead, just a short stroll from the local shops, cafés and pubs, with countless walking and cycling trails nearby.
Parking is available for one car directly outside Victory Cottage, with additional parking in the nearby village car park if needed.
From peaceful woodland and lakeside walks to days out in Grizedale Forest, Windermere or Tarn Hows, Victory Cottage makes a great base for exploring the South Lakes. Affordable, dog-friendly, and right in the middle of it all – Victory Cottage is an ideal Lake District holiday cottage for getting out and about without any fuss.
