Steeped in history, The Old Sawpit is the upper floor of a traditional stone Lakeland building which lies above an original saw pit where cartwheels were made by the Elterwater Wheelwrights.
Located in the picturesque village of Elterwater, this cottage has been a long time favourite for walkers enjoying strolls along the river or taking on the challenge of more strenuous walks. Relax with a glass of wine on the iron bench, at the top of the Old Sawpit steps, watching the sheep graze o

Stayed Jul 4, 2025The cottage was spotless and very comfortable, with comfortable beds and a beautiful bathroom and a comfortable, fully equipped kitchen. You can walk (15 minutes) to a local market, and many wonderful hikes start at your doorstep. The local pub is at the bottom of the street and excellent.It would have been helpful if the kind of coffee maker in the kitchen had been specified (there is a French press), as it makes it easier to shop before you arrive. Also, it would have been nice if they provided salt (they do supply you with a handful of tea bags, and some packets of instant coffee and sugar), as it's silly to have to buy an entire container of salt for just a week's stay. All the cooking knives are dangerously dull, so chopping an onion is an ordeal. They could maybe upgrade the knives, or at least provide ONE that is sharp (the sharpener didn't help at all).There was no personal interaction with the property managers, as there was no reason to, so that made it a little less friendly than it might have been.But the cottage is wonderful, the location is ideal -- no trashy shops, just the pub -- and if you want to do some walking in the glorious fells of Cumbria this is an ideal place. We plan to return ASAP!
