“The tv did not work, one side of toaster did not work.”

“We had a lovely stay in this very pretty cottage , it was very clean and comfortable.”

The location was ideal for us as we love the village . The only little niggle was that we had asked for a cot and high chair which should have been in the cottage but weren’t, had to go looking in the laundry for them . Other than that everything was better than we expected as we had been led to believe the rooms were a bit tired but everything seemed good to us

“Very clean accommodation.”

Well stocked kitchen, there was even a cafetiere. Plenty of room in the bedrooms and well laid out. The table was big enough for family meals, playing games etc. Excellent outside areas including picnic benches, ideal for the children to play games, run off energy etc all within a very safe compound. Nice and quiet. The only minor drawbacks for me, which didn't spoil the holiday were, the access to the lake (or lack of) No freezer compartment in my fridge and the seating consisted of 2 x 2 seater settees. These were only an issue because i had recently had surgery on my leg and needed to use walking sticks to move. The access to the lake involved climbing over a fallen tree (impossible for me). I needed to ice my leg every 2 hours so i had to walk to the communal freezers to get my ice. This would have been easier with a freezer box in my fridge. Finally i couldn't get comfy on the settees because i had to have my leg elevated and i couldn't do this on the 2 seaters. Having said this, these are only minor complaints that affected me and they wouldn't affect most people. I would highly recommend staying in any of the cottages in this very safe area.

“The cottage is in a lovely location, very quiet and peaceful but easy access to the fells/ lakes / tourist attractions of the South Lake District.”

The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable, as well as being spotlessly clean. There is plenty of parking and the shared outdoor space is a real bonus. A minor issue with a velux window was resolved promptly, on the same day as reported, by the maintenance team. However there was no WiFi available for the duration of our stay, this was reported to the office on the first day but they were experiencing problems due to poor weather the week before. It wasn't resolved during our stay and there is no phone signal at the cottage either, which was a shame as other than this our stay couldn't have been better...well, unless we can pre order decent weather that is! :-)

About the location

SAWREY

Hawkshead 2 miles.

The village of Sawrey is situated two miles from Hawkshead down the eastern side of Esthwaite Water, overlooked by the woods and tarns of Claife Heights. Sawrey consists of two separate hamlets - Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey - both with a cluster of picturesque cottages, tea rooms and pubs. Near Sawrey is famous for Hill Top, the 17th century farmhouse where Beatrix Potter wrote her acclaimed children's stories. Now a museum, owned and run by the National Trust, Hill Top is one of the most visited houses in the Lake District. Far Sawrey is the hamlet furthest away from Hawkshead and the nearest to the ferry point on Windermere. It offers a church and pub/restaurant with a beer garden. There are good walks in the area, including those to Claife Heights and in Grizedale Forest. It's also a great base for enjoying a wide variety of typical Lakeland pursuits - with watersports close at hand on Lake Windermere, fishing on nearby Esthwaite Water and, of course, fell walking.

Please note Esthwaite property is an independent company and no one has rights to be on the water or fish or swim without paying Esthwaite water fishery. Please contact the Estate office before arrival.
