The Tower Bank Arms is in the centre of Near Sawrey,
a delightful hamlet midway between Hawkshead and the western shore
of Lake Windermere.
Next door is Hill Top the former home of Mrs Heelis, better
known as Beatrix Potter.

Sawrey
Hotel |

"The
old beams in the bar are believed to be from ships wrecked from
the Armada"
It is not known whether the original building was an inn,
but it seems likely, as there is a suggestion that it used to be
known as the Angler's Rest.
The Hotel consists of
at least three separate buildings, the original being in the
centre, where the inn sign hangs, probably dating back to about
1700.
The old stable block is now the bar, with bedrooms above and over
the years various additions mean that it is now one continuous
building.
