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.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
We had a lovely stay. The sat nav took us all different places so we had to navigate that in the dark but all good. Not sure if it’s worth adding what three words for future guests if that’s helpful. Parking was tight as we had 4 cars so had to park a couple of cars next to the park, but we managed. The property worked very well with a big family and the kids absolutely loved the playroom. We did have a slight problem with the hot water whicj we didn’t discover to later sat arvo. Lois was very active to respond and we had the handy man out early on Sunday morning. Wasn’t a simple fix so it wasn’t back running hot until we got back in on the Sunday arvo, neverless it was fixed when we were out.

6.0 / 10.0Average·May 2025
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.
