Ben Fold Cottage is a 400 year old Grade II listed cottage which offers everything you would want in a cosy country cottage. It’s perfect for a peaceful holiday in a picturesque location. It is a lovely detached property newly redeveloped with great flair by local craftsmen. It incorporates eco - friendly technologies with all modern conveniences whilst keeping the cottage character and charm.

Set in a quiet rural location amongst a small group of houses close to Tarn Hows with lovely views across the Esthwaite Valley. There is a pretty south facing garden with a choice of patios and lawns. Ben Fold also owns an extended area beyond the cottage with trees and footpaths adjoining farmers’ fields. The owners have installed several nature cameras which can be viewed on one of the television's installed in the cottage. A footpath from the garden provides an easy walk into Hawkshead.
