Snaptrip says
Ees Wyke Studio is a compact, cosy retreat in a stunning location, ideal for couples and dog-friendly. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, such as dog treats and slippers, and the proximity to walking paths and local attractions. While some found the space small and the cooking facilities challenging, the charm of the location and the cleanliness generally left a positive impression.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the studio to be very clean, with fresh towels and linens. However, a few mentioned areas where dust and cobwebs were present, and one noted the floors could have been mopped better.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, peacefulness, and proximity to walking routes, pubs, and attractions like Beatrix Potter's Hill Top House. It's considered an ideal base for exploring the Lake District.
The studio is generally seen as comfortable, especially for short stays. Some guests mentioned a need for a new mattress and issues with the brightness of radiator screens at night, but the provision of slippers and other amenities added to the comfort.
Facilities are adequate for a studio, with some guests enjoying the well-equipped kitchen. Criticisms include the lack of a conventional oven and some difficulties with the shower and cooking controls. The presence of an electric car charger was a plus.
Guests frequently mentioned and appreciated the thoughtful extras like dog treats, slippers, and toiletries. While these gifts were well-received, it's important to note that such extras, while delightful, are subject to availability and not guaranteed.
About this property
A cosy, semi-detached studio cottage located in the hamlet of Near Sawrey, two miles from Hawkshead in the beautiful Lake District National Park. The cottage is perfectly appointed to provide studio accommodation for couples to explore this peaceful and tranquil part of the Lake District. Nestling amongst a small cluster of cottages and next door to a country guest house, this Lake District cottage is surrounded by stunning scenery around every corner. With an open plan living area with a king bed, sitting area and kitchenette plus a shower room with a heated towel rail, this holiday home is compact, but a perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Outside this cottage is a small sitting area with endless footpaths and bridleways to explore in every direction. You will always find somewhere to simply sit back and enjoy this mesmerising landscape. Just 200 yards from the cottage door there is a footpath leading to Moss Eccles Tarn and Claife Heights. The views from Claife Heights over Lake Windermere are spellbinding dont forget to take your camera! Just up the road is The Tower Bank Arms Inn and of course, Hill Top, home to Beatrix Potter meaning that without even moving the car you will find lots and lots to do. There is fishing available on Esthwaite Water and lots of lovely shops and tearooms to enjoy in Hawkshead itself. Why not explore the other side of Lake Windermere by taking the car ferry from Far Sawrey and cruise over to Bowness-on-Windermere where you will find a colourful mix of shops and restaurants? Also the beautiful walled gardens at Holehird, just out of Windermere, are a delight at any time of year. This sweet cottage is compact but a perfect base for couples or just one person to explore this beautiful area.
The village of Sawrey is situated two miles from Hawkshead, overlooked by the woods and tarns of Claife Heights. Sawrey consists of two separate hamlets - Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey. Near Sawrey is famous for Hill Top,where Beatrix Potter wrote her acclaimed children's stories. and is now a museum, owned and run by the National Trust. Far Sawrey is the hamlet furthest away from Hawkshead and the nearest to the ferry point on Windermere. There are good walks in the area, including those to Claife Heights and in Grizedale Forest.

The under-floor heater was a great bonus. The only negatives were: not much of an outdoor space, a shower that was hot but not very powerful and a noisy boiler for the instant-hot-water tap, which we kept switched off when not in use. Other than that, a lovely stay with lots to see and do nearby.

This highlighted the fact there were no games/books in the property, which in normal circumstances we wouldn't have needed. However, the owner could not be faulted for his concern that despite the snow we were OK. There is no greater recommendation than the fact that we are determined to return next year and have the weekend we missed out on.

Richard was very friendly and helpful. Definitely booking again. Loved the complimentary Doggy Box and the Bottle of Wine.
