Lakefield Cottage

A most warm, comfortable & clean cottage with amazing views of Esthwaite Water, Coniston Fells & wonderful wildlife.

A quiet & peaceful area. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need. The bed is very, very comfortable. The Tower Bank Arms is a short walk up the road, past Hill Top. Very warm & cosy with open lit fire & very friendly & welcoming staff & locals. They serve wonderful meals, but you must book a table for your evening meal. (Highly recommend). Most definitely enjoyed our stay here & hopefully return & stay in the near future. Many many thanks again for letting out your wonderful cottage. Michelle & Pat from Worthing, West Sussex

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful place.

Fantastic views from cottage. Had everything we needed, comfortable beds and lovely linen. Nice and warm with extra electric fire if needed. Settee for us was a little uncomfortable being a low back but that is our personal preference Unfortunately it rained a lot the week we were there but didn’t stop us doing lots of walks. It would have been handy to have an outside tap to clean the muddy dogs down and possibly a child gate on bottom of stairs to stop dogs going upstairs. We took a guard to cover the stairs as we knew our dogs would sneak up there. Just a suggestion. But overall a lovely clean cosy cottage which we would definitely come back to as we love Near Sawrey. Good communication with owners and agent.

Lakefield cottage was very comfortable and clean, we did enjoy our stay.

The view of the Cumbrian mountains was absolutely stunning especially when we looked out of the window one morning and saw snow on them. The house had everything that we needed, but we saw notes left in every room. We understand that we need instructions but there is a folder there also, so it would be better to have them in there and the folder to be left on the table or bookshelf. The ironing board also needs to be changed as it is very very tired, I actually used the board and every time I tried to move my item of clothing on the ironing board, I kept catching the very loose piece of material that was attached to it. Also I did not expect to have to find a recycling centre to dispose of my recycling. The nearest recycling centre was in Windermere, which was very awkward as we were going home in the opposite direction. I would have at least expected some kind of recycling bag at the cottage, and maybe an outside light might be put outside so that when we come back in the dark we can see what we are doing.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.

The views over the lake are amazing. I couldn't reach the crockery in the corner wall cupboard so my tall husband had to bring them down. I didn't spot the step on stool that was tucked out of sight, until the day we were leaving

A wonderful cottage with a stunning view.

We enjoyed a lovey week with our 1 year old and dog. The cottage has everything you need and an enclosed garden. Great location in the lakes close to Tarn Hows, Grizedale Forest and Ambleside. We would very much recommend the cottage and hope to visit again in the future.

Our second visit to this year to this lovely comfy cozy cottage in this most beautiful area of the u.

k. The cottage is in a most peaceful village with such beautiful scenery. A perfect escape.

An absolute gem in a very quiet area with wonderful views from the lounge and bedroom windows across the fields and Esthwaite water with the bonus of a view of the The Old Man of Coniston on a clear day .

Very well appointed and spotlessly clean . Very easy to reach all the favourite places from this cottage and of course, Hilltop ,Beatrice Potter’s home is only a stroll away from this superb property. We have just finished our sixth visit to this cottage ! Ellie

A very comfortable, well equipped cottage in a lovely location with outstanding views.

Difficulty with the induction hob and no details how to operate.

We also suggest your pillowcase protection needs washing as they were a little whiffy. The adjoining cottage went away one afternoon and left their dog. It barked continually and could be heard in your sitting room.

Lovely cottage with spectacular views.

It had everything we needed, nothing was forgotten. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage, amazing view, well placed to explore, have already booked to return next year.

We found the location excellent for exploring by car, wonderful views across fields to Lake.

Cozy, Warm and comfortable and we were sad to leave. Public house within a 10 min walking distance, cosy with good food, excellent Sunday Roast. We highly recommend a visit to Grasmere and Hawkshead. We will be going back.

Lovely place with great views.

Would recommend staying here. Clean and everything you require in a stay. Ps great comfortable bed.

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. 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.

We had a week over Christmas here and were delighted with the property and the way we had been treated.

Lovely decorations and a gift left, thankyou so much. Everything was available that you may need. Great cottage, warm, comfortable and cozy, with great views set in a quite relaxing area. Just great for an unwind. Which we did and did not want to leave. Great walks all around and a good local pub 2 mins from the door. Will be looking to book again for sure.

Lovely property beautiful views.

Very well set out warm and cosy. Well equipped. Somewhere to put wet coats and muddy boots would be good. Vilage shop in far sawrey has been closed for ten years so did not get bath buns.. Good location did not use car for most of the week. Thanks.

Lovely cottage in a lovely peaceful location would definitely recommend to others.

Transport definitely needed as little way from nearest village and amenities but well worth the travelling simply beautiful.

Lovely cottage with stunning views.

Perfect base to explore with our 2 year old. Loved the garden although listed as small it was a lovely outdoor space. Would love to return to this beautiful location.

A nice clean and comfortable cottage.

Well equipped and maintained. Absolutely stunning location with an abundance of walks and places to visit. The two local pubs both provide good quality food and welcome dogs, ours loved his frequent visits. Hawkshead is a lovely place to visit and the cafe on the lake is a lovely place for a breakfast or afternoon tea. I fished the lake and the facilities / advice from the owners was brilliant. This is one cottage that we'll be returning to at the first opportunity as we only manage to explore a small fraction of the area and we hunger for more

I feel the cottage would benefit from one or two essentials, soap in the bathroom , washing up liquid , black bin liners.

We also were surprised that there was no welcome basket on arrival. A pint of fresh milk to make a cup of tea would have been lovely.

Lovely property with everything you need.

Would definitely stay again!

Fabulous cosy cottage with a view to die for.

Clean and comfortable and a great location with loads of walks straight from the cottage. My only observation about 'facilities' is that some basics like washing up liquid/soap/cleaner could be provided but overall a great stay and I would definitely return.

Everything was excellent- the location was fantastic and the cottage itself was as listed.

Lakefield cottage is a lovely little cottage that was ideally placed in the lakes for us to go out and explore.

This cottage was a perfect size for the two of us and our little dog. In all a great little cottage with a great view from the living room windows.

The cottage was fine apart from the cleanliness there was lots of dog hair around the property that should have been cleaned more thoroughly, the first thing we had to do was clean the carpets before we could settle down.

Everything was great- extremely comfortable without being stuffy!

I was on my own (with my dog!) so ate in most of the time and every facility was available.

Very happy with the cottage.

However the kitchen tap drips incessantly and needs attention.

better directions to the cottage would be helpful its in the middle of nowhere and is off the road.
