Traditional afternoon tea is service in the Pavilion. Where you can look out on to the lovely manicured garden There?s a real sense of occasion to the experience, as we bring a freshly filled teapot and a gleaming silver cake stand to your table, laden with sandwiches, exquisite handmade cakes and freshly baked scones, along with fruity preserves and thick clotted cream.
Wray Castle is a Victorian neo-gothic building at Claife in the English county of Cumbria. The house and grounds have belonged to the National Trust since 1929, but the house has only recently opened to the public on a regular basis. The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction can be found in Windermere.
When you arrive in Hawkshead, find the entrance to the Grammar School. Drive through the Grammar School wrought iron gates (our sign is on the left hand sidegate post). Do an immediate left down the beech hedge pass the garages and park up facing the bank. Walk up to the small gate, this will take you round to the front of the cottage.

Well, here we are again. Lost count the times we have stayed here. This time we took my Sister. Her first time, she said she enjoyed her stay. As usual all is still great, Steve & Sharon, great hosts. Food, lovely. Bedrooms clean and comfy. Garden is lovely to sit in too. Why go anywhere else. Ray, Julie & Muriel, Tyneside.

Had a lovely 4 night stay at the School House Cottage. Sharon & Steve were very welcoming and there was nothing you couldn't want for. The room although small was very cosy and accommodating. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice of virtually anything you wanted to be honest and Sharon's cakes were superb. They always made us a cup of tea when we returned after a day out walking which was very heart warming given some of the horrendous weather we endured during our stay. Can't wait to see if the Shepherd's Cabin takes off next year.
Kind Regards,
Martin & Karin.
