Accommodation details

The village of Near Sawrey is very close to Hill Top, the former home of Beatrix Potter is now open to visitors and offers a wonderful insight into the author’s life. There is also a pub and restaurant in the village, whilst just down the road, the neighbouring village of Far Sawrey is a must see.

Lake Windermere is just 2.5 miles away, as is the ferry terminal, from where regular boats run across to the town of Bowness. This stunning property offers single-storey accommodation sleeping eight guests and is reached via a quiet track lane. On entering the property, guests will come to the welcoming hall, which offers a lounge area with comfortable seating next to the wood burner-effect electric fire.

To the left of this space is the spacious kitchen/diner which offers a well-sized dining table and well-equipped kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher, whilst the washing machine and tumble dryer are located in the nearby utility room. The property’s main lounge has large floor-to-ceiling windows, which flood the room with light, as well as wood burner, comfortable seating, well-stocked bookcase, TV, and DVD.

Three of the property’s bedrooms are located in the main house: a double room, a twin room (which can be made up as a king-size on request) and a bunk bedroom. The main bathroom has a shower over the bath and there is also a separate shower room with WC. The fourth bedroom, another twin room, is in a separate summer house.

This room benefits from a wet room with shower and WC. Outside, the property enjoys a stunning four-acres of gardens, with lawn areas, tucked away corners, benches, and a swing.
