Overview
Property code: 74342

Enjoying a rural location among three acres of landscaped gardens and being tastefully designed, this property is just perfect for couples looking to get away and enjoy Cumbria throughout the year.

This pretty ground-floor apartment is set within an impressive country house in the picturesque village of Near Sawrey, located between Lake Windermere and Esthwaite Water. Providing perfect accommodation for two guests – with space for a four-legged best friend to tag along – this is a wonderful base for a romantic break. Handsomely decorated and retaining many period features, the apartment makes a lovely setting for exploring this idyllic area.

Entered via a grand hallway, this elegantly decorated and attractively furnished ground-floor studio-style apartment comprises a welcoming open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner/bedroom. The lounge features comfortable seating, a TV/DVD and a large bay window with stunning views. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you may need, and the dining area is situated near the fireplace. The chic bedroom area has a cosy double bed with a feature canopy effect. The grounds of the house offer beautiful shared landscaped gardens for you to discover, with a footpath leading directly up to Claife Heights which overlooks Lake Windermere (1 mile) and which your tail-wagging companion will love.

The picturesque village of Near Sawrey is home to Hill Top where Beatrix Potter wrote many of her most famous stories. There are numerous nearby villages with dog-friendly places to eat and drink including Hawkshead (3 miles), Coniston (7 miles) and Newby Bridge (7.5 miles). This is a glorious area for dogs to discover, with Esthwaite Water (2 miles) and Lake Windermere (1 mile) both within easy reach. Happy hounds are welcome to join you on ferry crossings over the lake, the local steam railway and at attractions including the estate at Sizergh Castle (19 miles), Lakeland Motor Museum (8 miles) and Grizedale Forest (5 miles).

Great location with walks straight from the door and fantastic views. We agree with other guests, it is not an apartment, its a studio. It is in need of refresh, apart from that, it was very comfortable and quiet. We had no issues with the wifi. The TV however was a bit of challenge, we did eventually manage to get it to work. A step by step guide Read morewould help. Hide

This is a bedsit and not a one bedroom apartment as suggested by the description and photos. Dated decor and furnishings but adequate. Too many laminated notices of 'do nots'. Fire cannot be seen let alone appreciated from the seating area, not cosy Take your own 60W equiv bayonet light bulbs to replace the 40W provided or you will be unable to seeRead more to read! TV does work but you will need a degree in technology to fathom it out. But the bed is comfy, thank goodness! Hide

Fantastic location with plenty to see and visit. The apartment is part of a old property which does have a few age problems but all is forgotten when you open the curtains and you are greeted with such a splendid view and is in such a quiet location.

The location is really great for walks from the doorstep or starting from Hawkshead. Bed and furniture very comfortable. Short walk to the pub which serves good meals. When we had problems with the TV and the hot water supply the staff at the office from holidaycottages were really helpful.

Fab accommodation in a beautiful setting. This apartment has everything you need! We stayed in the Delft Suite, if we stay again will opt for an upstairs room as views would be better & more private.
