The Experience

This former dairy and cattle shed is one of four self-catering properties in an L-shaped setting. Philip and Suzy run a small organic farm and you have 33 acres of beautiful bird-filled woodland to roam.

The open-plan living area and the bedrooms are all on one level and face a partly-paved gravel area with an outdoor table and chairs. Suzy is an accomplished cook and yoga teacher – ask about yoga holidays with meals provided. Choose vegetarian breakfasts and dinners from a menu or walk to the superb Drunken Duck.

You’re in the Lake District National Park so there are plenty of fells to walk, views to admire and cold wild swimming to enjoy. The medieval market town of Hawkshead and the Beatrix Potter Gallery are a five-minute drive; Ambleside’s tea rooms and shops and Lake Windermere cruises are nearby.

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.
