Croft End Cottage is an enchanting and dreamy holiday cottage that we’re certain you’ll love just as much as we do. Located in the hamlet of Near Sawrey, a romantic country location, just a short distance from Hawkshead, Croft End Cottage is a luxury retreat with a wealth of character and features. Sitting in Beatrix Potter's favourite landscape, the whitewashed exterior makes for a striking introduction to the property. Once inside the picture is completed by traditional cast iron open fire, exposed beams and chocolate box window seats. An elegant master bedroom will make you feel pampered and special, whilst cooking and dining in is made easy and enjoyable care of the country kitchen and dining space. If you fancy eating out, the Tower Bank Arms in Near Sawrey is a widely acclaimed country pub, serving great food. Please note this property does not allow children under 7yrs.

The village of Sawrey is situated two miles from Hawkshead down the eastern side of Esthwaite Water, overlooked by the woods and tarns of Claife Heights. Sawrey consists of two separate hamlets - Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey - both with a cluster of picturesque cottages, tea rooms and pubs. Near Sawrey is famous for Hill Top, the 17th century farmhouse where Beatrix Potter wrote her acclaimed children's stories. Now a museum, owned and run by the National Trust, Hill Top is one of the most visited houses in the Lake District. Far Sawrey is the hamlet furthest away from Hawkshead and the nearest to the ferry point on Windermere. It offers a church and pub/restaurant with a beer garden. There are good walks in the area, including those to Claife Heights and in Grizedale Forest. It's also a great base for enjoying a wide variety of typical Lakeland pursuits - with watersports close at hand on Lake Windermere, fishing on nearby Esthwaite Water and, of course, fell walking.
