Top Garden Suite is an idyllic cottage for up to 4 guests which boasts simply stunning countryside views across to Lake Windermere

Just south of Far Sawrey, close to Near Sawrey and Beatrix Potter's home Hill Top, perched high above the valley with views stretching across to Lake Windermere, proudly stands Sawrey Knotts. This large Lakeland mansion was built in 1861 and was once home to a Captain Dand. It is now home to a select number of beautifully converted apartments, each with its own character and charm.

As the name suggests, Top Garden Suite enjoys an elevated position within the mansion and boasts its own private outdoor space. Utterly unique, the Suite is a now a beautiful, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom holiday apartment with homely features such as a traditional log burning stove.

Recently refurbished to a high standard, the cottage features locally purchased textiles and considered Lake District artwork, which add to its quirky style and distinctive feel.

With its excellent views, peaceful location and numerous local walks, Top Garden Suite is perfect for couples, pairs of couples or families of four, looking for a warm and comfortable base from which to venture out and explore the spectacular Lake District.

And should you tire of the views from the Suite (unlikely), then guests can pop to the popular Cuckoo Brow Inn which offers great local ales and delicious, locally-sourced food.
