The Rockery Suite is an attractive, one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Sawrey Knotts, an impressive mid-Victorian residence, set in three acres of landscaped gardens. Situated between Lake Windermere and Hawkshead, it is within walking distance of Hill Top, Beatrix Potter’s spiritual home and museum. The grand building nestles into the rocky hillside, with cosy Rockery Suite tucked away at the rear of the building. It is ideal for couples wanting to escape the busy world for a while.
Climb the staircase and walk into your cosy and comfortable, dual aspect sitting room with dining area and admire the original window shutters, high ceiling and good-sized open fire with original marble surround, cast and tile inset. The fitted kitchen has every convenience for your stay. Your bright and spacious dual aspect bedroom has a king-size bed. You will find a pretty shower room nearby. The apartment has many delightful, personal touches and you will find a door at the rear for private access.
Walk half a mile to Lake Windermere’s lovely western shore and visit the intriguing Claife Viewing Station to admire panoramic views of the lake through coloured panels, before catching the ferry to Bowness to visit the Jetty, a modern museum of boats and steamers. If you fancy a more challenging walk, then why not hike up to Claife Heights with its dramatic views onto Lake Windermere and beyond. Visit Hawkshead to explore its historic Lake District church, where Wordsworth worshipped when he was boy at Hawkshead Grammar School, before browsing the shops and having a bite to eat at one of its excellent cafes and pub. Walk two-minute to the well-loved Cuckoo Brow with its bar and restaurant. At the end of your busy day, relax in the tranquil gardens with a favourite drink and enjoy stunning views towards the lake as it extends southwards, and towards Coniston Old Man in the west.
