Near Sawrey was famously home to the children's author Beatrix Potter, and her house 'Hill Top' is now preserved by the National Trust. Carry on through into adjoining Far Sawrey, and you'll soon discover the grand house that is 'Sawrey Knotts'. Built in 1861, it was once a well-to-do gentleman's country residence. Perched high above the valley, it is now a collection of beautifully converted properties, each with its own character and charm. As you might expect from the name, Stables Cottages was once the stable serving the grand house. Of course that's no longer the case, as it's now been tastefully transformed into a romantic retreat for two, conveniently located for the best that the Lake District has to offer. Ground floor Entrance into the cottage from the cobbled courtyard. In the small entrance hall there's plenty of hanging space, and notice the photo of bygone visitors arriving at Sawrey Knotts by pony-drawn carriage at the bottom of the stairs. To maximise the wonderful views, the cottage has been configured upside-down. From the entrance hall, a door leads to the bright and light double bedroom (with king size bed) and modern en suite bathroom with W.C, bath and shower over. First floor Stairs from the hall lead up to the spacious open-plan living room and kitchen area above. With high vaulted ceilings and original exposed timbers, the views towards Windermere, Gummer's Howe and the countryside beyond are stunning. The Aga log-burning stove with its tall chimney pipe is sure to keep you snug, and the fully equipped modern kitchen with electric oven, ceramic hob, extractor unit, fridge, microwave and dishwasher brings the Lake District feel indoors with its locally quarried slate worktops and flooring. There's a reclining sofa for two, a table for two (with views to the lake), additional seating, and all the modern entertainment features including TV, DVD and mini Hi-Fi.
