    Luxury country house for up to 18 in the heart of Beatrix Potter's Lake District

    Beechmount Country House is a characterful country house nestled in the heart of the quintessential Lake District village of Near Sawrey. There are 6 bedrooms in the main house, and a snug, to accommodate 12-14 guests. In addition there are two cottages in the grounds each housing a further two people, so that the whole property can accommodate up to 18 guests. The cottages can be booked separately.

    The main house has 6 bedrooms with three ensuites and two bathrooms. The kitchen offers Neff appliances with coffee machine and an in-built microwave and a cosy seating area with a fireplace. The dining room has a large extendable dining table seating up to 16 people. Next to the dining room is a playroom with a Tv, dvd player and cupboard with books, games and toys. The large lounge has seating of up to 14 and fully functional log fire with side doors that lead to a garden with a water fountain. The house also has a laundry room with a washing machine and dryer.


    Parking is available as follows:
    There is a ‘courtyard’ to Beechmount, which can accommodate three cars, possibly 4 at a push. Access to this is through a tight stone gateway from the road (2.45 metres wide). It is perfectly possible to fit even large SUVs through this (and we routinely do), but we understand that some will feel more cautious about doing so than others.
    There is car park adjacent to the play area literally across the road from Beechmount. This contains 4 marked out spaces, but can normally accommodate 5 or 6 cars. This is run by the Parish Council, on a ‘donations requested’ basis, but with no restrictions as to how long you can park there for. When spaces are available, this is extremely convenient for Beechmount, but clearly we cannot guarantee that spaces will always be available. Near Sawrey tends to get busy during the days (especially at weekends and bank holidays) though tends to be a lot quieter in the evenings and early mornings.

    Please do not hesitate to be in touch with any queries.

    Christmas in the Lake District
    This was a wonderful house in a wonderful location. Almost magical-views out every window, well stocked. A virtual rabbits warren of thick walled rooms well decorated and festive for the holidays. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Loved the walking paths outside and the playground across the street. Clean and comfortable.

    Our Stay
    The house provided great space, with a well stocked kitchen. Games room very popular with children. However the stair carpet was very stained which was off putting on entering the house. The showers were a problem - when one was in use the others lost all water. The upstairs bathroom didn't have a lock on the door and this bathroom was for the use of 2 double bedrooms. The downstairs bedroom had a very fusty smell - we didnt use it. The front entrance to the house and the external appearance was quite neglected - which was a pity. The Bbq hadn't been cleaned - we didnt use it.

    Perfect for a Large Family Break
    The property was perfect for a large family break, lots of space, a well equipped kitchen, small play room, large dining room and lounge, and a good mix of bedrooms with a few en-suites! There are some areas of wear and tear, but nothing you wouldn’t expect from a rental of this size. Externally, the kids enjoyed exploring the grounds and there was a play area opposite the house. The property is a good base for visiting Tarn Hows, Hawkshead, Ambleside, Esthwaite, Grasmere, Windermere, and surrounding areas.

    Lovely stay in the Lake District
    Beechmount is a perfect house for a large group. There is plenty of space to spread out, and the dining room is great for communal meals. The house is so well built you don’t hear a thing from the other rooms, so it seems oddly private even with a big group. The gardens are stunning and a wonderful bonus, and there are accessible and interesting walks right from the house, as well as a nice pub and restaurant. Hawkshead is just two miles away with good parking and some nice shops, including a chocolate factory! We had a great time and highly recommend.
