Potter Cottage

1 bedroom self-contained holiday apartment

Visit Britain 5-star

Miss Potter is said to have lived here in 1915 and we can see why... even Renee Zellweger would love this sophisticated, dreamy and romantic cottage apartment. Nestling peacefully within the “picture postcard” hamlet of Near Sawrey in the heart of the Lake District National Park.

Appropriately named, sumptuous and contemporary, Potter Cottage is now part of this famous location, boasting attractions such as Hill Top and the Tower Bank Arms, a wonderful National Trust public house serving delicious food and real ales alongside a roaring fire. The stylish hideaway forms part of Beechmount Country House, a 5-star VisitBritain Silver awarded guest house, built at the turn of the century and designed to maximise the breathtaking views out over Esthwaite Water and the surrounding mountains.

Step foot inside this beautiful retreat and be marvelled by the attention to detail where Lakeland character blends effortlessly with 21st century indulgencies. Laura Ashley and Farrow & Ball are surrounded by sumptuous sophistication. Hawkshead is only a couple of miles away, one of the prettiest villages in the area steeped with country pubs and local shops. If searching for a cosy and romantic hideaway deep in Beatrix Potter's countryside, perfect for a relaxing holiday at any time of the year, then look no further as this little gem has it all. The accommodation comprises: an old oak door leads from the courtyard into a beautiful entrance hall, a plethora of oak-panelled latch doors lead to the various rooms; the open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen is designed for relaxation, the stylish shaker kitchen is wrapped in granite. The romantic bedroom displays a special king-size bed and the luxurious shower-room is an ideal way to relax after a hard day on the fells.
