    “A great place for 2 and a dog!”

    Massively relaxing and very welcoming. Great walks from the door and despite almost persistent rain did manage a couple of dry walks - and one of two wet ones too! The Tower Bank Arms is a fantastic pub - large helpings of good quality food but must book well in advance as it's not that big. Other excellent restaurants in Ambleside - the Doi Intanon great for Thai and the Old Stamp House for a 'posher' meal.

Other excellent restaurants in Ambleside - the Doi Intanon great for Thai and the Old Stamp House for a 'posher' meal. For a rainy day a visit to the 'Pencil Museum' in Keswick is great fun - and they're not short of pencils! *Not for the review but we needed something sending to the cottage and used the address given in your pre holiday information. There is more than one Lakefield Cottage in Near Sawrey so would advise adding Ees Wyke to the address to ensure delivery. Luckily intercepted the postie who told us where he had delivered our item.

The property

In the orchard to Beatrix Potter's former holiday home at Lakefield, Near Sawrey, this romantic and luxurious cottage retreat commands a simply breathtaking view over Esthwaite Water (featured in the author's story of 'Jeremy Fisher') to the Lake District mountains beyond. There is an undeniable fairytale magic to this location, which continues in all the immediately surrounding areas. Only a stroll away you'll find the Tower Bank Arms; a National Trust owned pub with a roaring open fire. Only a mile away you'll find picturesque Hawkshead village. Admire the view from living room and bedroom, relax in the small, enclosed front garden with views to the lake, enjoy endless walks from your doorstep and relish one of the most inspiring locations in the Lake District. Perfect for a special occasion or Lake District honeymoon. == Accommodation in detail Private parking for 1 car.

Comfortable furnishings, 26" LCD TV (FreeSat), dining table and custom-built oak kitchen with granite worktops. Upstairs to the king-size bedroom (with extra single bed), with a superb view and modern oak furniture. The luxury bathroom is just perfect after a day in the fresh air! It adjoins Lakefield House, and has a small, enclosed front garden with views to the lake. Location Near Sawrey lies between Esthwaite Water and Lake Windermere, only a short distance from Hawkshead and also the car-ferry crossing over Lake Windermere to Bowness. The village is known for its connections with Beatrix Potter, whose former home at Hill Tip is owned by the National Trust and open to the public. Only a mile away, Hawkshead is your stop-off for stocking up the kitchen. It's a lovely place to while away a day, with its car free village centre, small shops and traditional atmosphere. The car-ferry crossing to Bowness is only a short drive away, and places our liveliest Lake District holiday destination within easy reach. You'll find contemporary shopping on the high street, and a wealth of boating activities in Bowness Bay. Windermere Lake Cruises travel to both Ambleside and Lakeside, and also offer romantic evening cruises with buffet food and live music. Windermere Golf Club is just outside Bowness village. A holiday cottage in Near Sawrey provides an excellent base for walking in the Lake District. Stroll in pretty much any direction from your door, or travel a short distance to the Langdale Valley, Ambleside and Coniston. Grizedale Forest is also within easy reach, with pretty pathways, cycle tracks and intriguing sculpture trails.

About the location

HAWKSHEAD

Ambleside 5.1 miles; Kendal 17.4 miles.

The picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Visitors can wander the wealth of tiny alleyways, thoroughfares, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th century houses. There are many pleasant inns, teashops, guest houses and gift shops in the village, as well as the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which houses an annually changing exhibition of the famous author’s illustrations and stories. The other famous Hawkshead enthusiast, William Wordsworth, attended the Old Grammar School in 1779-87, which still stands today, and you can visit the building where the Lakeland poet developed his love of the form, and even see the desk into which he scratched his name as a small boy! Newby Bridge is ten miles away and offers attractions such as the Aquarium of the Lakes and Windermere Lake Cruises, sailing daily between Ambleside, Bowness and Lakeside. With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year.
