This apartment enjoys a stunning location in the quiet village of Far Sawrey, where visitors will find a local pub, the Cuckoo Brow Inn with its roaring fires, seasonal menu, and local ales on tap. Of course, the real draw of the Lake District is the magnificent landscape, and many scenic walks can be enjoyed directly from the front door of the apartment, including a footpath which leads to the summit of Claife Heights, with its purpose-built viewing platform and unrivalled views of Lake Windermere. Why not visit the neighbouring village of Near Sawrey during your stay, it is famous for being the home of Beatrix Potter, her house Hill Top is now a National Trust visitor attraction. The walk to Hill Top is under 1 mile from Sawrey Knotts.

Guests will immediately get a sense of just how special this property is, as soon as they enter the grand hallway with its imposing staircase leading up to the apartment on the first-floor. The main living space in the apartment itself is a stunning lounge/kitchen/diner with large bay window affording spectacular views across the countryside to the mountains. There is plentiful seating here and a 40" Full HD Smart LED TV with built in Freeview, DVD, CD, and DAB radio. At the other end of this space, a lovely open fire can be found in the kitchen area, for which fuel is provided. The kitchen is well-equipped with an oven, hob, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, as well as a dining table for enjoying family meals. The master bedroom suite has a King-size bed, chandelier, Smart TV, and en-suite shower room with WC, but most impressive here are the panoramic views to Lake Windermere, surely one of the most fantastic views to wake up to in the region. There are two further bedrooms: a twin room which can be made up as a super-king-size (if requested at time of booking), thanks to its zip-and-link beds, and an attractive single room which is located in the house’s tower. The spacious bathroom has a bath with handheld shower and WC.

Outside there are extensive shared landscaped gardens with plenty of space to relax and, again, stunning views. A footpath leads directly from the grounds up to Claife Heights.

On arriving at the property, we were overwhelmed by the beauty. As for the views, absolutely stunning. We found the location perfect for exploring Lake Windermere and so many local walks right on the doorstep.

Lovely to stay in this characterful and historic house, with its beautiful views over the surrounding countryside - and lots of bunny rabbits nibbling the lawns! Plenty to do nearby, whether by foot, bike or car, and so easy to drive onto the car ferry for access to the east side of Windermere. Overall a very pleasant week. Thank you to the hosts.

The Morning Room at Sawrey Knotts in the Lake District was cozy, clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped. Although the location is somewhat remote, it is within walking distance of Beatrix Potter's cottage at Hill Top and surrounded by beautiful fields in a lovely pastoral setting. There is also easy access to the ferRead morery that connects Near and Far Sawrey with Windermere. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property in the Lake District. Hide

We loved sitting in the front window with our morning coffee watching the bunnies on the lawn and hearing the birds singing. So, relaxing and comfortable. And we found taking the ferry to Windermere very easy, which provided access to many more restaurants (we liked Windermere better than Bowness).

The apartment was lovely and very well equipped. The view was amazing and the living room bay window was perfect for watching the many birds flitting around. It was also a good vantage point to watch the fighter jets flying along Windermere. It was very quiet at night and convenient for local walks and many outings - Hilltop, Brantwood, Windermere,Read more Coniston etc. We enjoyed our welcome gift of coffee and biscuits and were lucky to have amazing sunshine every day of our visit in early April.

Cleanliness, the kitchen equipment/crokery/utensils/oven/microwave/toaster/glasses all need a thorough deep cleaning. The cooker was filthy. 2. Declutter, too much crammed in to the space. 3. Overall decor needs to be spruced up, furniture in bedrooms especially were hard to open, I think the whole place needs refreshing. 4. In main bathroom there Read morewas no bracket for the shower head and our holiday companions thought that it was not clean enough. 5. The building and grounds were beautiful. Hide

The grounds & views were beautiful. The amount of cooking equipment given was great! The beds were comfy. It's a shame to have had to say about the cleanliness but I would rather you know as its an easy fix then it would have been 5 stars all round. Little bit of cleaning in the entrance hallway would also help. Overall a lovely place to stay!!
