Local Activities
The areas surrounding Lake Windermere are some of the most picturesque in the Lake District, picture perfect cottages, dreamy landscapes and quaint villages not to mention home to some of the ever popular Lake District hotspots. Loved by Beatrix Potter, it's not hard to fall in love with the village of Hawkshead and the surrounding hamlets of High Wray, Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey. Close by at Near Sawrey is Beatrix Potter's Hill Top, while the idyllic western shores of Lake Windermere are just a short walk away. From here you can soak up the incredible views from nearby Claife Viewing Station or enjoy a lakeside walk to the imposing Wray Castle. You could also choose to escape to the peaceful shores of neighbouring Esthwaite Water and Blenheim Tarn. The countryside around Sawrey Knotts really is some of the beautiful the Lakes has to offer.
At the southern tip of Lake Windermere lies the quaint hamlet of Lakeside which as the name suggests enjoys open access to the lake shore. A favourite for families looking to explore, nearby attractions include the Aquarium of the Lakes, the Lakeland Motor Museum, the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Steam Railway & Fell Foot Park.

Tower cottage is ne of the best ever 1st Class accommodation, excellent cleanliness, spectacular views, nice log burner, good fully-equipped kitchen, very comfortable couch and arm chairs, very comfortable beds, we were extremely sad to leave. Also the weather was lovely the entire week.

Loved our stay at the tower, the teams responses were quick first night had no heating but next morning was sorted by 10am very quick response and very helpful. The tower has stunning views and located near quite a few hikes. Only slight negative is the tower can be very loud at night and difficult to sleep but no fault of the owners just an older building. Would definitely recommend it to family and friends!

What a fantastic cottage, so high on the hill to get the great views to Windermere Lake and the area. We loved the setup, with plenty of room to eat and relax. We would definitely use the property again, we thoroughly enjoyed our time, it was a great base for walking and exploring.

The cottage was very comfortable and we loved the view. We felt as though if we were in our own little castle! Everything we needed was provided.

We stayed at Tower Cottage, Far Sawrey from 12th-16th May 2025. This cottage could not have been more perfect. It was away from everything and everyone, set back and secluded at the top of a hill, where you then ascend about 25 steps. However, the view from the seating area (balcony) was breathtaking. All you can hear is the breeze through the trees, the sound of the birds and the far off sheep bleating. We watched the bunnies running about on the hill at the side and on the lawn. This was a perfect place for us to relax, unwind and forget the pressures of life. It was clean and fresh and had everything we needed as far as amenities are concerned, including a dish washer, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I would definitely recommend this property. If you enjoy some light walking there is a lovely little walk down the hill and across the meadow to Near Sawrey - about a mile each way - if you want to post a letter in the post box featured in the Peter Rabbit book. Alternatively, if you fancy a slightly longer walk, you can take a leisurely wander up Moss Eccles Tarn from just below this property, where there is a pretty little lake where William and Beatrix Healey used to keep a small boat. From there you can then walk down to Near Sawrey (for a drink at the Tower Bank Arms - also featured in a Beatrix Potter book) and back over the meadows to Far Sawrey, whilst picking up a piece of home made cake from a cool box in the lane for £2.00

This cottage could not have been more perfect. It was away from everything and everyone, set back and secluded. A perfect place to relax, unwind and forget the pressures of life. It had everything we needed and more. The dishwasher was a real luxury. Loved the views from every window. It was perfect. Thank you for a wonderful break.

Beautiful location and stunning views plenty of space in the house and well-equipped kitchen good water pressure for shower but water pump is a bit noisy, best to do food shop on route as limited local shops, a cuppa on the balcony watching the stars at night was a high light.

Beautifully located, a very cosy cottage that we have enjoyed staying in on three occasions. We love the views out from the windows and from the veranda, as well as having the gardens to enjoy. A real home from home. Overall the kitchen is very well equipped and the property is clean with good decor.

We have now stayed in Tower Cottage several times. It is a really well appointed cottage, and we feel very comfortable there. The location is superb; quiet and very private but near to local amenities including shops and pubs. All in all, a wonderful place to stay in the Lakes.

We thought the location was great, and the cottage was well-equipped, very clean and comfortable, plenty of hot water and good strong showers. We would book it again.
The booking process and joining instructions were fine. Good strong broadband was also appreciated. We were delighted to discover that there are slow worms around the property.

If you are visiting the Lake District, Tower Cottage is an unbeatable stay! The location is great and very central to what is the quintessential "Lake District", not to mention a great pub just up the road. It is a cozy place with plenty of space and all the amenities you will need. Huge perks are heated floors in the master bath and views like you wouldn't believe. Coppermines management was very attentive leading up to our stay and left plenty of information for us for our trip. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

A wonderful cosy cottage in a beautiful part of the Lake District. The views are breathtaking and there is a lovely balcony to enjoy the view, if the weather allows. The cottage is in a great location to explore the Lakes. The stairs up to the cottage can be a bit slippy in wet weather but otherwise this cottage is a lovely getaway. Would recommend.

We had stayed in Tower Cottage previously and really enjoyed it. However, we did note that it was a bit tired. However, on this recent visit, it had been thoroughly renovated. We liked it even more!

We were absolutely thrilled with the cottage. It was in a beautiful place with amazing views, our children loved it. It was very clean and provided us with everything we needed. We loved that the cottage had been a folly and was up in the trees. It was really fabulous. Washer/drier was really useful.

Booked a last minute getaway to the lakes and was hopeful this property would be good for our break... Firstly the views are by far the absolute best in the Lake District, just breathtaking! The veranda has infinite views to the Lake and mountains as does the master bedroom - sit in bed overlooking Windermere! All beds, bedding, towels are of great quality and comfort. The 3 bathrooms for 2 bed property fantastic. Everything is really clean, well looked after, well stocked and accessible. Washing machine and dishwasher proved helpful. Shame there was no wood or kindle but to be honest we had quite good weather so didn't need the roaring fire, I'm sure it's fab in the winter. The operating company are very helpful and responsive, dealt with every query and communication very efficiently. Would definitely return to this cottage and the services of the rental company. Very professional.
