Cottage to rent with a hot tub in Far Sawrey, Cumbria

Accommodation details

This apartment enjoys a stunning location in the quiet village of Far Sawrey, where visitors will find a local pub, the Cuckoo Brow Inn with its roaring fires, seasonal menu, and local ales on tap. Of course, the real draw of the Lake District is the magnificent landscape, and many scenic walks can be enjoyed directly from the front door of the apartment, including a footpath which leads to the summit of Claife Heights, with its purpose-built viewing platform and unrivalled views of Lake Windermere.

Why not visit the neighbouring village of Near Sawrey during your stay, it is famous for being the home of Beatrix Potter, her house Hill Top is now a National Trust visitor attraction. The walk to Hill Top is under 1 mile from Sawrey Knotts. Guests will immediately get a sense of just how special this property is, as soon as they enter the grand hallway with its imposing staircase leading up to the apartment on the first-floor.

The main living space in the apartment itself is a stunning lounge/kitchen/diner with large bay window affording spectacular views across the countryside to the mountains. There is plentiful seating here and a 40" Full HD Smart LED TV with built in Freeview, DVD, CD, and DAB radio. At the other end of this space, a lovely open fire can be found in the kitchen area, for which fuel is provided.

The kitchen is well-equipped with an oven, hob, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, as well as a dining table for enjoying family meals. The master bedroom suite has a King-size bed, chandelier, Smart TV, and en-suite shower room with WC, but most impressive here are the panoramic views to Lake Windermere, surely one of the most fantastic views to wake up to in the region.

There are two further bedrooms: a twin room which can be made up as a super-king-size (if requested at time of booking), thanks to its zip-and-link beds, and an attractive single room which is located in the house’s tower. The spacious bathroom has a bath with handheld shower and WC. Outside there are extensive shared landscaped gardens with plenty of space to relax and, again, stunning views.

A footpath leads directly from the grounds up to Claife Heights.
