Overview
Property code: LLH24

Book a truly wonderful stay at this splendid apartment at Far Sawrey, 7 miles from Ambleside in the Lake District. Sleeping five people and also welcoming one dog, the three-bedroom holiday home is set on the first floor of an impressive Victorian Gothic mansion. Step out from here to enjoy the beautiful, shared gardens or to stroll off on scenic walks. Wander about 1 mile up a footpath to impressive Claife Heights and take in the picturesque panoramas from here across Lake Windermere and the surrounding fells.

Make your way into the striking property via the ornate reception hall and follow the carved wooden staircase up to the first floor. Wander inside to discover a generous lounge/kitchen/diner, with its magnificent picture window pulling the Lakeland vistas right inside. Settle on the sofas to watch the HD Smart LED TV, with built-in Freeview, plus DAB Radio, CD player and DVD. Light the open fire in the kitchen area then set about preparing dinner to enjoy together at the table. As night falls, make your way through to the queen-size sumptuous bedroom, with its own Smart TV and en-suite shower room with WC. Wake up to stunning views in here or choose between the twin room, which can also be arranged a super-king-size if discussed in advance, or the single room, situated inside a tower. There is also a family bathroom. Spill out into the picturesque, shared grounds to bask in the sunshine with a cup of tea or your book.

Venture into Ambleside to potter in the shops, dine out or wander around 0.5 miles down to Waterhead to board a cruise out on Lake Windermere. Have a day out to Wray Castle, 4.5 miles away, on the banks of the lake.

A very relaxing and comfortable stay. The views, peace and quiet do not disappoint! The apartment is very well equipped and spacious. Very well located for many local excursions with lots to do in the area. Just be warned about the potholes! Will return again in the future.

This is a lovely old house in a wonderful location, with fabulous views to the front, accessible for local attractions and the ferry, it is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The Morning room apartment is spacious, and well equipped, in keeping with an old victorian building, with comfortable beds and all the amenities of home.

The best thing about Sawrey Knotts (we stayed in the Morning Room) is its position. Great views, accessable walks from the property and a great pub in the Cuckoo Brow Inn. Insufficent logs for the New Year period, what was available were wet. Open fire does not throw out much heat and burns logs rapidly. The Morning room was well equipped, but dateRead mored furniture, certainly not luxury accommodation as described at the entrance gate. Would i return to Sawrey, yes but not to this property. Hide

Great accommodation with great views felt very warm and cozy without the log fire and they put a Xmas tree up for Xmas. Nice goodie basket but would of liked more essentials like tea bags, sugar, and cleaning stuff. 2 rolls for a weeks stay

Long distance views from the large windows of the Morning Room are wonderful and close up deer, birds and rabbits also make good window watching. The gardens are lovely and there are walks from right outside the front door. The apartment is lovely, clean, well laid out, comfortably furnished and well equipped. Broad band is fast. The Cuckoo brow inRead moren is less than 5 min walk along path and is a must book in advance if a table for delicious food is wanted. Excellent but quiet location. Hide
