Dell Cottage is a three-storey stone cottage in Far Sawrey, a quiet village in the Lake District, Cumbria. It sleeps four guests across two king-size bedrooms and sits just one mile from the shore of Windermere. The wood burner in the second lounge makes this a genuinely cosy retreat whatever the weather. Managed by Alfie and part of the collection since 2021, it's a well-kept property with real character.

Far Sawrey sits among rolling green hills with Windermere a mile away. You can stroll to the lake shore and take the ferry across to Bowness. Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's farmhouse, is just half a mile away. The village pub is a short walk across the road.

The cottage has two king-size bedrooms on the top floor. There's one family bathroom with both a bath and shower over the bath plus a WC on the half landing. Two separate first-floor lounges give you real flexibility, one with a Smart TV and one with a flagstone floor and wood burner. The stylish kitchen-diner has a Nespresso machine and a utility room with washing and drying machines.
