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

6 Bedroom House in Ambleside, Near Sawrey

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.

Summary: 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
