“Lovely cottage!”

Exactly what we wanted for 2 adults & 2 young children at Christmas. Very well equipped kitchen & even managed to cook a full Christmas dinner in it, despite its size. Beds were very comfortable, I would recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the lakes, it has has everything you need.

“Overall nice cottage, decorated tastefully with modern equipments and functional accessories, a home away from home.”

We enjoyed the open fire and the boardgames after a day of activities in Windermere.The kitchen has all the utensils to cook/bake if you like. Nice tranquil location where you can have walks locally and enjoy the views. A few tips for owner to improve on current state of property- 1. The front door lock can be upgraded because it looks like it can malfunction any day. 2. The HDMI port in the upstairs bedroom TV is obstructed by the tv bracket, a angled HDMI extension can solve the problem, families these days bring their streaming sticks( fire tv, apple etc) and would like to watch their things. 3. Few more extra bin liners at the property would have been helpful, although the towels and bed linens were stocked enough. We luckily brought our own binliners, were not of right size but we managed. 4. We enjoyed our monopoly game but adding more boardgames could add to the variety and some games in the cupboard had missing parts so couldnt play all the games. 4. A downloaded/printed bin collection days from the council website and reminder to empty the bins on the fridge door will be helpful as we found the waste bin almost half filled before i could put my waste in the bin and i wouldnt have put the bins out if i hadnt read a effort made by a previous occupier to put all the dates for collection dates handwritten in the welcome pack as it was a pre christmas altered collection day.

“Great cottage in brilliant location.”

Cottage needs spring clean. Cobwebs on windows. Window sills dirty. Difficult parking if you have big car!

“Cottage needs some new locks, and probably a sign outside building saying “No Parking”, like the others on that road.”

“We loved the location and how close this property was to so many lovely walks and villages.”

The cottage had all of the amenities we needed as well as the information we needed in order to find things and be able to use the property.

The property

Just a few hundred yards from Beatrix Potter's former home, Stoney Croft is nestled in the peaceful village of Near Sawrey just outside Hawkshead village. Found along a quiet lane leading to Moss Eccles Tarn, Stoney Croft Cottage has a picture postcard setting that's guaranteed to inspire. Walks abound in all directions, the National Trust owned Tower Bank Arms is only a stone's throw away, and the cottage itself is a soothing retreat. Tastefully modernised to 4 star standards, the interior is homely, enjoys a spacious living room and separate dining area, and opens out to a serene sun deck. Despite the secluded feel, Hawkshead village remains close by and the car-ferry crossing over Lake Windermere to Bowness is minutes away. == Accommodation in detail Parking on the lane by the property for 1 car. Enter into the cosy yet contemporary lounge with wooden floor, deep-cushioned leather sofas and open fire. Separate, stylish dining room with access to the decked sun terrace. Neat, very well-equipped kitchen. Upstairs to the 2 bedrooms; 1 king-size double (which can also serve as a twin) and 1 double bedroom. Both bedrooms are beautifully presented in a calming shade. Modern house bathroom with shower over bath. Location A holiday cottage in Near Sawrey places you at the heart of the Lakes and close to Moss Eccles Tarn and tranquil Esthwaite Water (fictional home of Beatrix Potter's Jeremy Fisher!) which lies between Near Sawrey and Hawkshead village. Keen walkers will be brilliantly placed to reach the starting points of many of the Lake District's famous walks, and those looking for a manageable stroll in attractive surroundings will find many to choose from nearby. Nearby Hawkshead village is enchanting with its car-free cobbled streets, its air of history - fascinating historic attractions include the Hawkshead Grammar School museum (a real step back in time) and the former home of Beatrix Potter, open to the public at Hill Top. But the village is also your bolt hole for shops and facilities - stock up the kitchen with tasty local produce at the Honeypot delicatessen, and sample a few of the excellent eateries in the village. Another nearby must-see Lakeland village is Ambleside, a popular Lake District self-catering location for its friendly, lively centre and its position on the shores of Lake Windermere.

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 this property has a zip link bed. This will be made as a twin by default. Please contact the call center should you wish it to be a super king.
