We have stayed in Far Sawrey on many occasions, it’s a gorgeous area with easy access to Windermere via the local ferry, if you want a more lively atmosphere.. This is a beautiful cottage, a perfect rural retreat, we had a lovely relaxing break. The owner left us some welcoming treats too such as local preserves and fresh farm eggs. There are lots of walks to enjoy straight from the door as well as bike rides. The views from every aspect are gorgeous and outdoor seating is placed appropriately in all the lovely garden spaces to take advantage of both sunrises and sunsets. You can sit and listen to the sound of silence, well apart from the sheep baaing and occasional cows mooing. Would definitely return, thank you for a wonderful break, Jasmin and family

The cottage looked good on the website but exceeded our expectations when we arrived! It was just perfect and had everything that we needed for our stay, being warm and cosy with a real fire to light at night. The only bad thing was that we were only there for one week, and it wasn’t long enough! There are wonderful walks from the front door, and more challenging ones a short car journey away, and of course the Cuckoo Brow Inn just at the top of the lane where we had a Mother’s Day lunch. We’ve had a fantastic week, thank you!

Great holiday cottage.. Recently refurbished so everything was spotless. Beautiful location with lots of activities nearby. Can't wait to go back with my family!

The house is very well appointed and comfortable.. The view out of the front window over the rural landscape is also stunning, especially at sunrise. It is well worth setting the alarm, so that you do not miss it. The owners were also keen to make sure that everything was perfect and were very friendly. The location is away from the main tourist towns and because of that it is extremely quiet - perfect for that get away from it all holiday if that is what you are after. There are also a few local walks that get you to lovely view points within half an hour of leaving the house. I would certainly book the house again for future visits. The main supermarkets at the other side of the lake are only half an hour away but the location of the house is worth that little extra drive.

Wonderful holiday in a stunning area - the house is extremely comfortable, beautifully decorated and up to date and well equipped, we were an extended family group staying in both properties and would highly recommend these houses, the area and the lovely owner - we would love to return as there is so much to do and even 2 weeks is not enough! ! The grandchildren enjoyed seeing the farmer rounding up the sheep with his quad bike and sheepdog right outside out cottage gates - fabulous!! Thank you so much for such lovely holiday homes.

Mrs Phipps was unable to go on this holiday as her husband was ill so I went in her place (He is on the mend now thank goodness! !)....which was an unexpected surprise! and you were very helpful re arranging this for her! The cottage was lovely and I felt so relaxed and at home. It was beautifully decorated had everything I needed. The views were lovely and there were plenty of paces to sit outside. The fresh flowers on the picnic table were a particularly lovely touch Thank you for a wonderful memorable holiday

Loved this house and its location.. Exceeded our expectations based on the snowy pictures! Garden has gorgeous views over the hills to watch the sunsets, we loved eating out here. The village is very quaint and peaceful, just a tiny bit off the beaten track to avoid the coach parties, but still so close to everything you want to see. Excellent popular pub too. We enjoyed walks over the fields to Hilltop, and down to Lake Windermere. We travelled with a 2 year old and a baby, and found the house suited us very well. A travel cot would have been a bonus and saved us bringing two, but that's the only suggestion. The beds we had were very comfortable, and we found it a well furnished home from home. Would thoroughly recommend this house and location for the Lakes.

Returning to the Lakes is always a joy, but our stay at Bishops Howe was truly a 'home from home' experience! The difference being the tremendous views from most of the rooms, and the tranquility that engulfed us as soon as we arrived. This is our first visit to this location, and the wonderful walks from the house, together with our ferry trip across Windermere to reach the house, were memorable. We will certainly return again.
