“Well we have had another great stay at Derwentwater and the general cleanliness and the revamped look was great.”

...

there were plenty of mugs plates and utensils this time even a pizza cutter!! It was really quiet there and the bed was very comfortable so getting out for 9.30 was a bit of a struggle!! As a builder i really struggled not to build you a proper stone fireplace! maybe next time lol the internet is an issue really but luckily one of our phones had 4G so we were able to create a hotspot and and get wifi onto laptop and i pad!! Bearing in mind we run three businesses its an important aspect of any place we stay. we have been coming there for about 15 years so we will be back hopefully. having just looked at Sykes to re book i found the price had doubled for next October ................ not sure why? thanks Chris and Trish

“Fantastic cottage with everything you could need.”

Lovely private patio area and gardens with fabulous views. It helped that the weather was good so we could sit out. Lovely private walk down to Esthwaite Water and local pub only a 5 minute walk away. Definitely exceeded my expectations and would recommend.

“We have stayed at various properties at Esthwaite for over 20 years.”

Did not like the new flooring in Bassenthwaite, can understand why but , in my opinion, made the property echo and feel cold, not cosy. Also, dogs found it hard to get a grip, especially the old one. Will stay in a different property next time. Regards Elaine PS we had to leave a day early so hope I did right putting key back in ket safe.

“The cottage had been recently refurbished to a very nice standard.”

Excellent for our needs with pet friendly flooring to the living areas and a paddock to the rear for dog walks first thing in the morning and at night. Would benefit from the addition of a small mirror over the sink in the bathroom. I had expressed some concern about some adverse comments made by a previous customer but the problems had more than been dealt with. Would definitely recommend this cottage and stay there again.

“We were pleasantly surprised when entering this cottage, it had been fully renovated and you could smell the fresh paint.”

There are a few minor things,1- no bathroom mirror 2 - no companion set for the fire. Also we could of had two small mats next to the front door, and patio doors, to help keep the cottage cleaner.. apart from them minor problems, it was a highly well recommended cottage to stay in. We love it!

Perfect location, close to the lake and Hill Top Farm, lovely pub within walking distance that serves great food. Our kids and dog loved the huge field

“The cottage was lovely and clean and very nice.”

It's near to many great walks and cycling. The cottage was pet friendly which was excellent for us having the dog. The village itself has many shops and pubs to visit. Food place as well. Really enjoyed the beautiful castle stay.

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 Esthwaite property is an independent company and no one has rights to be on the water or fish or swim without paying Esthwaite water fishery. Please contact the Estate office before arrival.
