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).

Lovely property with a fantastic view. Good base for walking to Bowness, the ferry is only a mile away. Also, Hawkshead and Ambleside are within walking distance.

A beautiful apartment small but well equipped kitchen, and a good sized bathroom with bath/shower, plenty of hot water. Very quiet, and very relaxing location within easy reach of Windermere and Hawkshead, and only a 10 minute walk down to the Cuckoo Brown pub. Perfect

This was very affordable, in a good location and clean. But kitchen appliances didnt work effectively so not a place for easy self-catering. Also the accommodation lacked privacy people from the car park could see in and anyone in the hall could easily overhear conversation, likewise the dog heard everyone come and go and was frequently disturbed iRead moren the night.

Initial impressions good. Warm and comfortable. Superb location and views. However, lots of improvements are needed. The kitchen is tiny and has minimal usable work surfaces. No oven gloves were provided. Light bulbs in main room were missing, dysfunctional or just dim. The hot tap for bath gives no water (shower is OK). Wood for fire is unseasonedRead more and so wet it would not light. Toilet flush is hit and miss. Internet is very poor (as advertised) - could probably by improved by WiFi boosters Hide

Loved the historical building and grounds. Rather comfortable, but husband found settee too low. (He suffers with his back). Bath lovely and big but had a bit of trouble with hot water tap.

Beautiful suite in part of a large county house. We had a lovely stay in the clean and comfortable apartment. Stunning views from the windows, including rabbits and bats in the garden. A beautiful area to stay, with both the Bowness ferry and Hilltop within walking distance for the fit [steep hills]. This part of the Windermere area is very quiet.
