Hatter's Cottage

Self Catering hideaway in the Lake District

Out and About

Most visitors regard a car as a necessity for a visit to the Lake District. However buses serving Coniston, Ambleside, Kendal and Keswick stop within 200 metres of the cottage; so leaving the car behind for the day is definitely an option, and if you are a walker or cyclist there is a vast network of footpaths and country lanes to explore.
