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. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Arcade/game room ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33590000/33589600/33589570/230f7ac8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautifully Converted Property On The Prestigious Pullwood Bay Estate, Ambleside Ambleside - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 145 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-30&endDate=2025-10-31&selected=33589570&PinnedHotelID=33589570&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105530000/105525200/105525192/9c998bf5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A luxury Private Holiday Home And Spa Windermere - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-30&endDate=2025-10-31&selected=105525192&PinnedHotelID=105525192&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace, DVD player, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39670000/39662600/39662503/d05c0a71.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxurious period house on the shores of Lake Windermere Windermere - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 47 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-30&endDate=2025-10-31&selected=39662503&PinnedHotelID=39662503&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34440000/34431700/34431632/cd70c6c0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Family self catering upto 16 in great cottage no neighbours and local facilities Ulverston - Pool - Hot tub - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-30&endDate=2025-10-31&selected=34431632&PinnedHotelID=34431632&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100490000/100480600/100480578/9b228334.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rockwood- Grasmere, family cottage with Hot tub!
