Just a mile from both Windermere and Esthwaite Water, this light, relaxing cottage makes a lovely getaway for families and friends exploring the Lake District. Offering cosy holiday accommodation for seven guests, this beautiful, detached property is set in a tranquil location, perfect for an idyllic break. Tastefully furnished and decorated in soothing tones, the property was originally two cottages that have been thoughtfully converted, with plenty of features including exposed beams, a welcoming wood burner and a picturesque garden offering fabulous rural views.

Stepping into this cheerful property, the spacious dining room has a wood burner and a dining table ideal for enjoying a family get-together. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing a family feast and is next to a fresh, light-filled breakfast room overlooking the garden. With an original range, an open fire, bread oven, TV and plenty of books, the lounge is a great space for everyone to settle back and unwind at the end of a fantastic day out. The ground floor also features a family bathroom. There are two staircases, one at each end of the house, leading up to the first-floor bedrooms. The staircase by the lounge leads to a pretty double bedroom, a charming single and a second bathroom. The second staircase goes up to a further double and a cosy twin room. Outside, the private south-facing garden has large lawns and a patio providing a charming spot for dining alfresco. There’s also a steep-sided stream running through the garden, so children should be carefully supervised.

The picturesque hamlet of Far Sawrey is close to a choice of popular landmarks and attractions including Wray Castle, Beatrix Potter’s house at Hill Top, Claife Viewing Station, the picturesque village of Hawkshead, Coniston Water and the Old Man of Coniston (all within 8 miles).

We spent 4 nights at the cottage ofer new year and it was great. Everything youd want from an old cottage - big open fires, exposed beams and beautiful countryside views. Its lovely and peaceful, it feels very rural but theres a lovely pub about 5 minutes walk away and its a great base for exploring the lakes. We all loved it and wed definitely go Read moreback. Hide

Lovely comfortable house with lots of room. Period features, lots of character and a feel of a place with a lot of history. On the quieter side of the lake, good to retreat to following a day's activities, lake ferry was a joy if you didn't fancy the half hour plus drive around the lake. Lots of walking routes right from the doorstep. Close to hillRead moretop farm. We were very happy and felt quite sad leaving, that says it all! We would come back for sure, maybe in Spring or summer. Hide

What a stunning location and the cottage was ideal for a family get away. There was plenty of room to spend time together and also space for quiet times. The garden was peaceful and plenty of space for 2 dogs, the stream at the bottom of the garden was of no interest to my dogs but may not be suitable for some dogs or small toddlers.

Lovely cottage in a great location but let down by avoidable issues. There was dog messes in the garden, the caffetiere was found dirty in the outside bin, mildew stained pillowcase, little hot water on arrival, and bath plug didn't work (but was repaired on day 3 of our week long stay) . We raised these issues during our stay (2 days into our stayRead more when the office was first open) with a reasonable response and agreement I'd follow up when home from holiday, but no response to my email Hide

Great cottage with plenty of space. Everhot stove keeps kitchen warm and good for cooking. Fire and woodburner make it cosy when weather cold and wet. Small gate on kitchen entrance and doors at bottom of stairs great for containing dogs/little people. Enclosed garden good for dogs (if not intersted in jumping into stream at the bottom).
