“The maintenance of the property was poor.”

For example I would expect the kitchen fridge freezer door to have been replaced in a property at this price point. Without a freezer door, the freezer compartment and the main fridge compartment didn’t work properly.

“The key box was different to every other cottage in the facilities however our code opend others making us believe no key had been left.”

No one picked up the phone contact number we had been given resulting in the start of our holiday to be fairly stressful In the bed room the ceiling had multiple stains and at night little footstwos could be heard scurrying across so believe stains to be from dead rats? As expected internet was extremely limited at the cottage however finding our acsesspoint had been turned off definitely made it a lot worse. Once switched on internet was usable The cottage was nice once we where able to get in.

“This place was superb.”

We will definitely stay again. Great location, quiet, clean and it was exactly what we needed to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. Thank you

“The apartments was exactly as described on the homepage and the scenery is very beautiful.”

Due to Covid-19 we were asked to check in after 4 pm to allow for extensive cleaning. Unfortunately, we found the apartment not cleaned at all when we arrived at 6 pm (old bed linen on the bed, dirty and wet towels in the bath room etc). Re-arrangements were made for us (after we found a spot with mobile signal) but it took some time and the first evening ended with us going tired & early to bed while the next morning started early to move our luggage to the previous apartment. These things can happen but under Covid-19 they shouldn't, particularly when check-in and check-out times have been changed to meet the new situation. The rest of our holidays was great though

“We had a lovely time however the check in times and check out times are a bit unfair.”

I feel 4.30 for check in is very late and 9.30 for check out is too early. I paid £400 and we didn’t even get 2 full days at the cottage which I think is unfair. The couches in the living room where extremely small and uncomfortable too. I couldn’t return due to the fact of the timings.

“The signage needs improving we got lost for a while.”

“The toilet was not clean when we arrived and there was not a drop of washing up liquid.”

There is absolutely no sound proofing and you can hear the neighbors very clearly. Apart from that we loved every minute of our stay.

“We had a very enjoyable stay and the highlight was each evening we took out chairs down to the lake at erthsthwaite and enjoy the setting sun and peace.”

“We have been to one of the cottages last year we had a lovely time so we wanted to come back once more.”

“We were very pleased with the cottage, it was exactly as described and in a lovely location.”

“The cottage was clean and has lovely views from the lounge window.”

It was good there is a phone booth with I presume a working pay phone because there was no mobile signal. Good field to give the dog a run before going out for the day. Local information is scant. The first night we drove to Ambleside to Tesco extra and there is a co-op in Hawkshead village. The heating system is electric night heaters and it is very hot in the bedrooms in the middle of the night nut if turned lower it was quite cold in the cottage during the day. I would stay there again but not in the winter months.

“A cosy, warm apartment, we enjoyed the log fire.”

Could do with a little tlc and a bit of extra cleaning in nooks and crannies. Main downside was noise from apartment below, walls are very thin. But had everything we needed, great place for a base if planning a walking holiday.

- Hannah, January 2018
Tracy November 2017

“Fabulous pre Christmas birthday break with my family and dog.”

The area was quiet, but not too far from Hawkeshead, Windemere and Coniston. The cottage was clean, tidy and had all homely comforts. I booked a table at the local pub 'The Tower Bank Arms' which was perfect and only a few minutes walk away. Esthwaite lake was also just a short walk away. Perfect.

“The apartment was a very reasonable price, and as expected it was very small and basic.”

It was reasonably clean (a bit dusty in the nooks and crannies). The location was great and we had a lovely time.

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.
