About this property
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.
