The Experience
You’re in an L-shaped cluster of buildings set on a working organic farm with some sheep, a couple of pigs and 33 acres of bird-filled woodland to roam. Suzy and Philip live in the farmhouse and offer yoga courses and retreats.
The open-plan living and dining area is compact and modern with a wood-burner, plenty of books and views towards the woodland. The kitchen has all the basics but you could choose to order vegetarian food from Suzy (she has a menu), including macrobiotic breakfasts.
Walk up Limstone Beck for fabulous views over Esthwaite Water, visit the medieval market town of Hawkshead (a five-minute drive) for the Beatrix Potter Gallery, wander down to The Drunken Duck for lunch or supper. Ambleside and Lake Windermere are a ten-minute drive.

Location
The neighbourhood
Sunny Brow Farm has an elevated position on 33 acres of land in the Lake District National Park and is surrounded by fields, hills and mature woodland, with the nearest neighbour a mile away – all you’ll hear is birdsong, the sound of sheep and the gentle stream nearby.
Local points of interest from Philip Saunders
- In the heart of the South Lakes, Sunny Brow Farm is surrounded by beautiful English countryside in the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore and relax into our 33 acres of woodland pasture with many varieties of native trees
- We are only three quarters of a mile from the famous Drunken Duck Inn, a five-minute drive to Ambleside with its cafes and shopping. You can also drive/walk to Historic Hawkshead, and on to Near Sawrey, the home of Beatrix Potter.
- Walk up Limestone beck to enjoy views of lake Windermere and Esthwaite Water. Spot birds, badgers and deer, maybe even build a den. At lake Windermere, find cruises, fishing and all manner of watersports.
- Fell walking up Black Crag and over to Tarn Hows, or a little further on towards the famous Langdale Valleys and Pikes, is accessible straight from your front door.
- Sunny Brow Farm offers a selection of treatments, yoga, experiences and cuisine that you can choose from to personalize your holiday.
