Lovely location on the lake. Absolutely beautiful. Breakfast was lovely, and pub/bar was really nice and spacious. The barman's Old Fashioned and the whiskey menu were brilliant! Beautiful and very quiet courtyard. Very comfortable rooms and beds. Shower was brilliant and powerful.

Breakfast was first class, staff very attentive. The breakfast area was very comfortable and the outlook over the garden was great, watching the blue tits feeding. Everywhere was clean and sparkling.

Delightful area, obviously Beatrix Potter is the big attraction but there are lots of walks nearby, it's a mile to the ferry to get across to Windermere, 2 pubs, both of which do great food, 15 minutes to Lakeside to catch a boat for trips along the lake, similar time scale for Hawkshead, not much further to Newby Bridge, Coniston or Ambleside.

It is quiet and away from noisy tourists but you need to have a car to go there. There is a car ferry connecting Far Sawrey and Windermere but it may close when the weather is rough. Then you have to drive on quite narrow country roads to get in and out to visit places.

Location was fine, especially to the ferry to cross Windermere to Bowness but note it is £5 per car each way. Be aware of driving, the lanes can be single track with few passing spaces so short distances can take much much longer than expected. Hawkeshead village well worth a visit for a cuppa and cake, need to pay for parking though.
Avoid Hardknott and Wrynose pass at all costs!

The location was nice and quiet. If choosing to visit one of the lakes for watersports, then Coniston is more pleasant than Bowness-on-Windermere as it’s less crowded and less touristy. The water quality also seemed nicer.

Far Sawrey is a tucked-away hamlet between Windermere and Esthwaite Water. It's a "gently beautiful place" and you can walk directly from Cuckoo Brow Inn up onto the hills behind. However you really need to get in the car to get to the lake shore.
We ate at the Cuckoo Brow Inn - couldn't really think of a reason to go further afield, as the food there is excellent.

We came here to celebrate milestone birthdays of our family and friends and it was an excellent house to do that in. We also chose it because it was the Hawkshead Christmas market was the same weekend. We had intended to walk into Hawkshead but the weather was awful on the Saturday. It would have also meant having to walk most of the way on the road too. So we drove in and had we had a nice meal at the The Queens Head, before returning to cozy up for the night. On the Sunday, it was easy to get to Ambleside but we could not find any parking spaces there, so drove a bit further on to Grasmere, which is beautiful. However, we were very disappointed with our lunch at Heidi's cafe and would definitely avoid that on our next visit.

Lovely quaint place, great rooms and breakfast and meals were amazing !! Staff were a family and super lovely ! Nice and peaceful location, near to Beatrix Potter house and only a short walk down to the lake to get a ferry across to Windermere if you fancy a bit more going on.
Nice apartment, comfy and it had everything we needed to spend a couple of relaxing days. The proximity to the ferry is quite convenient and we liked it lots. The cuckoo brown is very close and their food is lovely. Highly recommend staying here!
Fab location with a view over Lake Windermere.
Spacious cottage with modern conveniences and rustic charm.
Powerful shower!
Property also has a Scandinavian Hot Tub!
Comfortable and well presented cottage. Great communication with the owner.
Glenside is in a great location, 5 minutes from local villages and the Winderemere ferry.
Beautifully situated near Lake Windermere offering a walk along the shore. Well equipped and newly furnished. Wi-Fi on tap. Much nicer than being in an hotel
