About this house rental

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.

We stayed at Beechmont in July with 13 people total. We have family which traveled from the Isle of Lewis, Family from the Midlands and we flew over from the USA. Lois is a fabulous host, accommodating, informative and very responsive. The property is well equipped for our large family and had plenty of space and rooms for everyone. It had games, fresh linens and the charm of the sheep and cows across the road “speaking” to us each morning. It is close enough to be the villages but also away from the hustle and bustle.We were so pleased with our trip and hope that we are able to come back in the future. Thanks Lois for your hospitality

We absolutely loved our stay in this fabulous and incredibly well-equipped home in the Lake District. Exploring it for the first time was like being in the book " The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" - a never ending house of rooms and doors, and when I found a wardrobe, I actually felt disappointed when I opened it and it didn't lead to Narnia! Still, we had the lovely Lakes and Hill Top right on the doorstep instead. The kitchen has everything you need and there are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. A short drive to Hawkhead, Grizedale and Ambleside, we could easily get everywhere. We would love to come back and stay again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We, 12 of us, 8 adults and 4 children, enjoyed our stay here. It has plenty of comfortable seating in the ground floor rooms and a very well-appointed kitchen with a wide range of utensils. The bedrooms are clean and spacious, the beds comfortable. There are several televisions in the house. The entry to the house looks daunting but the cars went through easily into a larger parking space beyond.

Picked house as plenty bedrooms. Location ok.Lots of weeds and water feature green with algae broken steps health and safety issues. BBQ disgusting. Cockroaches in bathrooms. I guess as house up for sale the owners not that bothered. They knew we wanted to BBQ but it took 2 hours to make if clean enough to use. Driveway very narrow made going in and out a big daunting. Wont be staying again.

We had a good time in the house. It is very spacious, confortable overall and the grounds are lovely. It was very suited to our group with people of all ages and the location is great to visit the Lakes.Only downfall : the house needs TLC especially in some of the bathrooms.We also encountered problems including wifi and hot water system. But the property manager was reactive and did her best to solve them when possible.
