    Delightful area, obviously Beatrix Potter is the big attraction but there are lots of walks nearby, it's a mile to the ferry to get across to Windermere, 2 pubs, both of which do great food, 15 minutes to Lakeside to catch a boat for trips along the lake, similar time scale for Hawkshead, not much further to Newby Bridge, Coniston or Ambleside.

    It is quiet and away from noisy tourists but you need to have a car to go there. There is a car ferry connecting Far Sawrey and Windermere but it may close when the weather is rough. Then you have to drive on quite narrow country roads to get in and out to visit places.

    Location was fine, especially to the ferry to cross Windermere to Bowness but note it is £5 per car each way. Be aware of driving, the lanes can be single track with few passing spaces so short distances can take much much longer than expected. Hawkeshead village well worth a visit for a cuppa and cake, need to pay for parking though. Avoid Hardknott and Wrynose pass at all costs!

    The location was nice and quiet.

    The location was nice and quiet. If choosing to visit one of the lakes for watersports, then Coniston is more pleasant than Bowness-on-Windermere as it’s less crowded and less touristy. The water quality also seemed nicer.

    Far Sawrey is a tucked-away hamlet between Windermere and Esthwaite Water. It's a "gently beautiful place" and you can walk directly from Cuckoo Brow Inn up onto the hills behind. However you really need to get in the car to get to the lake shore. We ate at the Cuckoo Brow Inn - couldn't really think of a reason to go further afield, as the food there is excellent.

    We came here to celebrate milestone birthdays of our family and friends and it was an excellent house to do that in. We also chose it because it was the Hawkshead Christmas market was the same weekend. We had intended to walk into Hawkshead but the weather was awful on the Saturday. It would have also meant having to walk most of the way on the road too. So we drove in and had we had a nice meal at the The Queens Head, before returning to cozy up for the night. On the Sunday, it was easy to get to Ambleside but we could not find any parking spaces there, so drove a bit further on to Grasmere, which is beautiful. However, we were very disappointed with our lunch at Heidi's cafe and would definitely avoid that on our next visit.

    Friendly, attentive staff. I understand that most of the waiting staff had only started that week but they were fine and keen to learn. The food was excellent, and because of the isolated location, we ate all our meals at the hotel. The presentation was good, with ample portions. The room we had (9) was comfortable with a large bathroom. A little cramped but had a large double bed. Could do with a more accessible power socket. Bath was a little awkward to get in and out of as it was high-sided.

    First time in the Lake District and was blown away with its beauty. This hotel is really cute and has a really nice family run feeling about it which we loved. The head chef Mike took some time to speak to us after service which was a great insight into the hotel and how it works. The meals we had were great and the restaurant is booked up every mealtime. Beatrix Potters house is half a mile away and dogs are made very welcome.

    The hotel itself is beautiful, cosy, and full of history. The room was comfortable, with a lovely view. The hotel manager/owner couldn't have been more helpful and friendly - we felt welcome from the moment we stepped through the door. Breakfast was awesome! We opted for a full cooked breakfast, which was delicious & quick to arrive. We will absolutely come back here again.
