Meadowcroft | Sawrey - Near Hawkshead
Sleeps 8 | Saturday Changeover | No Pets | VB 4 Star
Meadowcroft lies in the famous and popular village of Near Sawrey, home of author Beatrix Potter. Fans will be able to visit her house, Hill Top, and will see many of the buildings that featured in her books. Of these includes the Towerbank Arms, which is as popular for its literary connections as it is its cellar and pub grub, and of which a close and full inspection is a must
The villages of Far and Near Sawrey lie west of Lake Windermere, the houses strung along the lane, just above the head of Esthwaite Water.
Nearby, a mile or so, lies Hawkshead. Centred on two squares, with narrow streets, timber framed buildings, and cobbled nooks, the earliest buildings date from around the 16th century. There are four good pubs, a grocer, post office and chemist, book shop and cafes, along with walking gear outlets and some good arts and crafts shops.
From the property you are a short walk or drive to some of the very best walks and rambles. A little lane by the house leads up to Dubbs Tarn, perfect for a picnic and you can carry on up onto Claife Heights for woodland walks and views of Windermere.
Tarn Hows, a short drive away, is a picture perfect little water, easy for most. The Grizedale Forest offers a long day out exploring the many trails, either by foot or mountain bike. Over the fell you have Coniston Water, where you can hire boats, and at Esthwaite water you can take a day fishing for your supper.
Meadowcroft
Meadowcroft is a fine, semi detached Lake District house, set at the heart of the village. From a small patio garden you enter into the pine fitted kitchen, well equipped to cater for your stay. From here a small hall leads off to a sunny breakfast room. Off this is a utility room with a downstairs WC, basin and shower, also the laundry facilities.
The sitting room is large, with two deep bays allowing light to flood in. To one end sofas and armchair sit around the open fire, to the other is a large table for dining.
Stairs lead up to the first floor where you will find three bedrooms and a bathroom with deep bath, separate shower cubicle, hand basin and WC. A further flight of stairs take you up to an attic bathroom with hand held shower, basin and WC.
The bedrooms are all comfortably furnished, one a king size, one a double and finally a twin. A further flight of stairs take you up to the attic bedroom, with a low door, pitched roof and double bed. Opposite this is a bathroom with hand held shower, basin and WC.
All in all perfect to relax - perfect as a base to explore.
