Well, it's hard not to fall in love with the Lake District on a day like this…

Beautiful autumn colours, blue skies, still waters and Sawrey House looking rather lovely from across Esthwaite Water. ❤️

There's something special about this time of year. The pace seems to slow, the scenery puts on a spectacular show, and even the simplest moments feel that little bit more special.

A morning exploring, an afternoon taking in the views, and a cosy evening back at Sawrey House.

Honestly, what's not to love?

If you've been thinking about a little Lake District escape, autumn is giving you every reason to come.

We'd love to welcome you. 🍂

There’s something about autumn that makes us fall in love with the Lake District all over again.

The hills turn golden, the woodland bursts into shades of amber and copper, and the lakes take on that beautiful stillness that makes you want to stop and simply take it all in.

It's the season for crisp morning walks, cosy afternoons, warming drinks and evenings when you’re quite happy to have nowhere else to be.

And here at Sawrey House, we think autumn might just be one of the loveliest times of all.

Fewer crowds, beautiful scenery and a little more time to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy the moment.

So, if you're looking for a reason to escape to the Lakes, consider this your invitation. ❤️

Autumn is calling… and we'd love to welcome you.

📆🍂 In the autumn of 1905, Beatrix Potter took an exciting step that would shape both her life and her stories. 🍂📆

🐰Using the profits from The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, she purchased her first farm, the 17th-century Hill Top Farm in Near Sawrey, at the heart of the Lake District.

📚 The house, farm and surrounding countryside would go on to inspire many of her most beloved tales.

🐑 Following the death of Norman Warne, Beatrix devoted herself to farming while continuing to create her treasured ‘little books’. Hill Top became the setting and inspiration for several stories, including The Tale of Tom Kitten and The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, with many of the locations still recognisable today.

✨So why not come along and visit us here at Hill Top and see how Beatrix's legacy has helped ensure the survival of the beautiful Lakeland landscape. Step inside and discover Beatrix Potter’s little books displayed throughout the house. See how the rooms, garden and surrounding countryside inspired the stories and illustrations that have captivated generations.

Tucked away in the little village of Near Sawrey, Sawrey House has been part of this beautiful corner of the Lake District since the 1830s.

Originally built for a vicar, this handsome country house has watched village life unfold for almost two centuries.

Long before visitors arrived with walking boots and cameras, this was a quieter world of farming, village traditions and life shaped by the changing seasons.

And this is no ordinary village.

Just a short walk away is Hill Top, the former home of Beatrix Potter. It was here, among the lanes, cottages and rolling countryside, that she found inspiration for many of her much-loved stories.

The landscape that captured her imagination is still here today. The waters of Esthwaite, the woodland of Grizedale and the magnificent fells beyond remain a reminder of just how special this part of the world is.

The house itself has seen plenty of changes over the years, but its character remains. Three acres of gardens, beautiful views, comfortable rooms and those little corners where you can simply sit back and enjoy doing very little at all.

Nearly 200 years after it first opened its doors, Sawrey House continues to offer something rather special.

A little history, a lot of character and a chance to experience the Lake District at a gentler pace.

Perhaps it's time you discovered it for yourself?

Every now and then, something arrives at Sawrey House that makes you stop and smile…

A couple of our recent guests brought a wonderful brochure with them — dating all the way back to 1977! 🥰

Nearly 50 years old, and a little glimpse into what Sawrey House was like all those years ago.

The photographs, the wording, the rooms… even the little details that have long since changed.

But one thing hasn’t changed…

Sawrey House is still welcoming guests to Near Sawrey and giving people the chance to slow down and enjoy a little piece of the Lake District. ❤️

We absolutely love discovering little pieces of the house’s past, so we thought we’d share these with you too.

Swipe through the photos and take a little trip back to 1977…

And if anyone remembers staying at Sawrey House around this time, we’d love to hear from you! 🥰

Sometimes the best afternoons are the ones with absolutely nowhere else to be.

A table filled with freshly made sandwiches, warm scones with jam and cream, tempting little sweet treats… and a pot of something lovely to drink. 🍰

Add beautiful Lake District views, good company and a little time to simply sit and enjoy it all.

Whether you’re catching up with someone special, celebrating a little occasion or just fancy treating yourself…
