Pickle Pot Loft is situated in the centre of Hawkshead Village just off the main square. To reach the property enter the village through the main car-park and turn right into the village, past the Sun Inn and continue until you see the Queens Head on the right. The Hawkshead Relish Corner shop is in front of you as the road bends to the left, and the entrance to the loft is through the iron gate between the Corner Shop and the Hawkshead Relish Shop. There is a wooden sign to the left of the door. One FREE parking permit is provided for nearby residents car park (please do not forget it to return it at the end of your stay). Just north of Esthwaite Water, Hawkshead is a pretty market village marked by a jumbled collection of stone houses, old arches and squares that enchanted both William Wordsworth – who went to school here – and later Beatrix Potter, who lived at Hill Top – a five-minute drive away at Sawrey. The main bus stop is located at the entrance to the village, opposite the Chocolate Factory, near the main car park and toilet block. Bus services are available to Coniston and Ambleside (505) where you can link to services which cover the whole of the area.
