About this property
A cosy, semi-detached studio cottage located in the hamlet of Near Sawrey, two miles from Hawkshead in the beautiful Lake District National Park. The cottage is perfectly appointed to provide studio accommodation for couples to explore this peaceful and tranquil part of the Lake District. Nestling amongst a small cluster of cottages and next door to a country guest house, this Lake District cottage is surrounded by stunning scenery around every corner. With an open plan living area with a king bed, sitting area and kitchenette plus a shower room with a heated towel rail, this holiday home is compact, but a perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Outside this cottage is a small sitting area with endless footpaths and bridleways to explore in every direction. You will always find somewhere to simply sit back and enjoy this mesmerising landscape. Just 200 yards from the cottage door there is a footpath leading to Moss Eccles Tarn and Claife Heights. The views from Claife Heights over Lake Windermere are spellbinding dont forget to take your camera! Just up the road is The Tower Bank Arms Inn and of course, Hill Top, home to Beatrix Potter meaning that without even moving the car you will find lots and lots to do.
There is fishing available on Esthwaite Water and lots of lovely shops and tearooms to enjoy in Hawkshead itself. Why not explore the other side of Lake Windermere by taking the car ferry from Far Sawrey and cruise over to Bowness-on-Windermere where you will find a colourful mix of shops and restaurants? Also the beautiful walled gardens at Holehird, just out of Windermere, are a delight at any time of year. This sweet cottage is compact but a perfect base for couples or just one person to explore this beautiful area.
The village of Sawrey is situated two miles from Hawkshead, overlooked by the woods and tarns of Claife Heights. Sawrey consists of two separate hamlets - Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey. Near Sawrey is famous for Hill Top,where Beatrix Potter wrote her acclaimed children's stories. and is now a museum, owned and run by the National Trust. Far Sawrey is the hamlet furthest away from Hawkshead and the nearest to the ferry point on Windermere. There are good walks in the area, including those to Claife Heights and in Grizedale Forest.

This is a beautiful little studio with stunning views. We received a very warm welcome from the host, the studio was warm, clean, modern, fully equipped and perfect for our short break with our dog. They even have a doggy supply box! The Ees Wyke hotel next to it is a beautiful old house with so much history. I can see that the owners are very proud of and passionate about their hotel and the studio and this reflects in it. We had a fabulous few days and will definitely be back to stay again! There is so much to do and see around the area and I can recommend the pub up the road too but you do need to book! Itâs Christmas and their mulled wine was the best!
