Beautiful location in heart of the lake district but within easy reach of Bowness.
We were upgraded to a garden/lake view room which made our stay perfect. Thank you. Breakfast very good.
The whole experience at Sawrey house was excellent.

Clean and the decor was class throughout the hotel.
Friendly staff nothing was to much trouble.
The food was excellent.
Just one minor criticism the plates could do with being hot as food went cold quickly.
Would definitely have a return visit.

Such a lovely village. Two pubs serving local beer.
Such a lovely village. Two pubs serving local beer. It was quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of Ambleside and Windermere. Walking distance from Hawkshead (20-30min walk) and similar distance from the ferry over to Windermere. I 100% want to return.

Perfect location to recharge and get away from the busy lives we all have. Peace and tranquillity, was simply amazing.

Location is good for Western side of Lake District as it is on west side of Windermere - access to Hawkshead and Coniston is good and also Grasmere and westwards. I chose this location for access to Tarn Hows.
Anyone wanting to visit Grizedale and Duddon Valley and Langdale will suit this location - Hardknott Pass and Wrynose Pass.
For Windermere/Ambleside/Keswick and North Lakes, stay on the eastern side of Windermere where the road is also faster and stunning scenery to Keswick.

Near Sawrey is a pretty village whose main draw is linked to Beatrix Potter. It is a must do for any fan of this much loved author but once visited, nearby Hawkshead offers more facilities in a cosy setting.
food was excellent throughout. Staff were very friendly, patient, and provided good advice. The hotel was relaxing and we very much enjoyed the lounge and bar. We were close to the Beatrix Potter house, and the local connections were good to other towns and villages in the vicinity. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom well equipped. The single room that our son used was a good size, and good storage, with a pleasant view.
Beautiful old house, great location. For Beatrice Potter fans, her house Hill Top right next door. Great pub just up the road. Unfortunately we didn’t book evening meals there so was fully booked. So you need to do that, but had lovely lunch there. Food in hotel was brilliant, but far too much, portions were huge, that’s not a complaint just such a waste.
We will be going back there, wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
Great location in Near Sawrey, with plenty of things to do nearby but far enough away from the busiest areas of Windermere. Near Sawrey is also nice itself, with a pleasant pub and a children's playground, as well as a nice short walk to Moss Eccles Tarn straight out of the door.
The apartment was nice, with ample parking, a nice living room and black-out blinds making for a good night's sleep
We were delighted to be able to book this impressive hotel at short notice, it was the last room available. Located on the best side of Windermere away from the crowds we were surprised by the level of facilities and attention of the staff not forgetting the excellent breakfast which fuelled us for our activities on the fells and in Grizedale Forest.
I booked a 2 night stay at this beautiful hotel for my dads 60th Birthday for him and his partner. Exceptional staff, food was amazing and to wake up to those views were breathtaking. They really made a fuss of him knowing it was his special day.
The room was very comfortable and there was a nice guest lounge.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
The breakfasts and dinners were excellent.
The setting is beautiful with lovely gardens. You can walk from the hotel.
Very good value.
Excellent stay from arrival to departure. All the staff were excellent and the hotel garden provides great views. The hotel is in a great location for visiting the hill top farm and it is a 20 minute walk or so from the ferry.
It's a lovely little studio that has everything you need. It is very clean and nicely renovated. The area is beautiful, you can walk down to the lake through private hotel land.
I can’t fault the hotel. It is not a chain, which is refreshing. Superb breakfast and friendly people. Right in the village but feels like a country house.
