Satterthwaite Farmhouse is highly praised for its comfort, character, and location, offering a peaceful and relaxing stay with stunning scenery. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, ensuite bedrooms, and thoughtful touches. The local pub and nearby attractions enhance the experience, making it a favourite for many.
The farmhouse is generally well-maintained with a few mentions of areas needing more attention, such as dust in drawers and an unclean oven. However, the majority of guests found the property to be clean and comfortable.
The location is consistently lauded for its tranquility, beautiful surroundings, and proximity to local attractions like Grizedale Forest and the village pub. It's an ideal base for exploring the Lake District.
Guests find the farmhouse to be very comfortable, with luxurious bedrooms, cosy log burners, and a welcoming atmosphere. Some minor issues with creaking beds and rattling fan covers were noted.
The property is well-equipped with a great kitchen and outdoor space, though some guests suggested improvements such as new frying pans and outdoor furniture. The presence of ensuite bathrooms and a drying room for wetsuits were positively noted.
Many guests were delighted by the welcome pack and the owner's responsiveness, adding to the property's charm. While gifts are appreciated, they are a bonus and not a guaranteed feature of the stay.
Satterthwaite Farmhouse is a glorious 17th century residence perfectly suited to a memorable holiday or special celebration with friends. Set between Lake Windermere and Coniston Water, with the picturesque village of Hawkshead and Grizedale Forest on the doorstep, this character property has undergone a luxurious refurbishment while retaining its period charm and country house ambiance.
A lane from the pretty hamlet of Satterthwaite leads to the farmhouse with its impressive oak door opening into the first of two sitting rooms. This is a fabulous room for socialising and chatting round the wood burning stove. Underfloor heating, slate floors and superbly comfortable leather furnishings will tempt guests to sit here late into the night, or even the early hours of the next morning. A second sitting room is equally as cosy and it too has a wood burning stove, deep-cushioned leather furniture and Smart TV. The farmhouse kitchen is exactly as it should be. Welcoming, beautifully equipped and with a large and sturdy farmhouse table around which guests will enjoy lively suppers and lazy breakfasts. From here there is access to the rear garden and separate utility.
The bedrooms need to be seen to be believed. Four fabulous rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom or shower room. Between them there are king size sleigh beds, oak beams, free standing baths, monsoon showers and super king luxury. Guests will be spoilt for choice.
Close by is the village of Near Sawrey where Beatrix Potter lived and wrote her wonderful children’s books. Her cottage Hill Top is open to the public and close by are two of her favourite haunts, Esthwaite Water and Moss Eccles Tarn.
Satterthwaite enjoys a peaceful, picturesque location between the lakes of Coniston and Windermere, just south of Hawkshead village. The sleepy hamlet is surrounded by a natural playground of stunning landscapes to explore; a great base for walking and outdoor adventure as well as for escaping the everyday rush.
To the north, Grizedale Forest is an intriguing network of walking routes, cycle paths and sculpture trails. Lake Windermere lies to the east, and a car-ferry crossing can take you across the lake to explore the lively attractions of Bowness village.
Also close by is the village of Near Sawrey, where Beatrix Potter famously lived and was inspired to write her children's stories. Visit the author's home at Hill Top and explore her favourite places; such as Esthwaite Water and Moss Eccles Tarn.
