Broomriggs is a country house which was built at the turn of the century.  Set in approximately 100 acres of woodland, it is situated on the slopes overlooking Esthwaite Water and has commanding views of the area.  The gardens surrounding the house are delightful in themselves and much pleasure can be had by exploring the many hidden paths.  The villages of Hawkshead and Near Sawrey are close by.  The lower fells of Claife Heights and Moss Eccles Tarn, which were much loved by Beatrix Potter, back on to it's south eastern edge.  The House has it's own private frontage to Esthwaite Water and rowing boats are available for use.  It has been converted into several holiday apartments and I like to stay in Broomriggs 9.
