This is a super charming pub with an unbeatable location right in the heart of town and not noisy at all even on a weekend. The staff are absolute gems and could not do enough to help us plus the room was spotless and breakfast cooked to order. I would love to stay here again. The rooms were quite large and looked over the town. The lunch and dinner are not gourmet but tasty and a reasonable price for a good size serve. The staff are just tops though and really make the stay special. The doors are secure and safe from pub patrons by an additional door with an electric lock at the top but the pub was not rowdy anyway. There are plenty of scenic little nooks to sit in downstairs and have a relaxing drink or meal.
The whole experience at Sawrey house was excellent.

Our room was great.
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.
On days when you want to be looked after the hotel is next door, it's absolutely stunning, real fires, wonderful friendly staff and luxurious.

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.
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
Excellent breakfast using local ingredients. Perfect location with views over Esthwaite lake. We loved our lake view room complete with four poster bed which was extremely comfortable. A very peaceful restful location with gentle walks from hotel including Beatrice Potter trail. Delicious evening meals also. We were made to feel very welcome by the owner and staff.
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.
It was a lovely peaceful hotel in a beautiful setting evening meal was lovely and breakfast which had a good choice, would def recommend staff were very friendly the chef came out to see how we enjoyed our eve meal, room was clean and bed was very comfortable
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.
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.
