The Garth Country House, self catering holiday accommodation at Near Sawrey, Hawkshead, near Ambleside in the heart of the Lakes. 5* and 4* Self-Catering, in peaceful surroundings.

The Garth Country House is a delightful Victorian house, carefully restored. It sits in 2 acres of gardens on the edge of Near Sawrey, one of the prettiest, most unspoiled villages in the South Lakes. The views from the gardens, over Grizedale and Esthwaite Water to the mountains, are stunning.

We are within reach of all that is best in Lakeland and yet, returning at the end of a day, you can see the stars, hear the sheep and night birds and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this special place.

We have three self-catering units:-

Aspland Place is 5* rated and has luxurious, spacious accommodation for 2 people, enjoying the main entrance and original main entertaining rooms of the house.

Gardener's Cottage and Garth Court are both situated in the very pretty, sunny courtyard area of the house. Garth Court has spacious, luxury accommodation for 4 people and Gardener's Cottage is a lovely studio cottage for 2 people, full of light and tastefully restored with old oak beams and contemporary touches.

There is ample, designated parking in the grounds, a croquet lawn and areas around the garden to sit and enjoy views.

Near Sawrey, the home of Beatrix Potter, with Hill Top just 3 minutes walk away, has a small shop half a mile away in Far Sawrey and a very good Co-op store and delicatessen in Hawkshead village, a five minute drive.

There are lovely walks from the door and an excellent pub, just a three minute walk away, serving good fresh food and local beers. You will recognise many of the illustrations from the Beatrix Potter books all around you, even in our garden.
