    “Absolutely perfect!”

    We cannot rate this cottage highly enough! Just returned after our week at Glenside, we are an outdoor loving family of four, plus our rescue dog, and it was everything we had hoped for and more. The property is so very beautiful, with everything you could need, a real home from home and very deserving of it’s Sykes award! Great kitchen and bathrooms, and incredibly comfortable furniture and beds, fantastic after a day on the fells bagging Wainwrights! Superb location, close to Hawkshead for ...

    We cannot rate this cottage highly enough! Just returned after our week at Glenside, we are an outdoor loving family of four, plus our rescue dog, and it was everything we had hoped for and more. The property is so very beautiful, with everything you could need, a real home from home and very deserving of it’s Sykes award! Great kitchen and bathrooms, and incredibly comfortable furniture and beds, fantastic after a day on the fells bagging Wainwrights! Superb location, close to Hawkshead for shops and Lake Windermere just down the road. Hilltop within walking distance was an added bonus. One of the best bits for us though had to be the views from the front of the cottage! The owners are very welcoming and kind, the goodies on arrival were a lovely touch. We also loved how they championed local businesses by including them within the cottage and also taking the time to write up information on each of the products. We’ve stayed in the Lakes area many times, but for us this cottage was by the far the best and we are already planning to return!

Far Sawrey Cottages

These delightful Edwardian stone-built, semi-detached cottages are situated next door to a working livestock farm, on the edge of the small village of Far Sawrey, close to the village of Near Sawrey and within reach of Hawkshead in the wonderful Lake District National Park. Oozing character and charm and with superb country views, these cottages will appeal to two families who wish to travel together, but stay in separate accommodation. The accomodation is suitable for wedding stays in the local village. Identical in layout and size, the properties have three bedrooms, two of which have feature fireplaces, and there’s enough space in the open plan living area for guests to relax in comfort. Outside each property there is off road parking for two cars. There are walks from these lovely holiday homes with one across the fields that will take you to Hill Top, once the home of Beatrix Potter and now a museum owned by the National Trust. Only a five minute walk away is the village of Far Sawrey which has a pub with the pretty village of Hawkshead offering a wealth of character with whitewashed 17th century houses, tea rooms, pubs, gift shops and the Beatrix Potter Gallery. A must whilst staying at these charming cottages is to enjoy a lake cruise on Lake Windermere, with sailings daily between Ambleside, Bowness and Lakeside, whilst other attractions and activities in the area include walks in Grizedale Forest, fishing on nearby Esthwaite Water and the Aquarium of the Lakes. Two excellent holiday homes for exploring all that the stunning Lake District has to offer.
