    Sawrey House Hotel is in a quiet little village, with beautiful views down to Esthwaite Water. The room had a 4-poster bed, en-suite and a spa bath, with complimentary toiletries and drinks. Staff were friendly and helpful. Choices of breakfast which we thoroughly enjoyed.

    Breakfast was on the small side (but that's just me - I like a big breakfast!) Check in after 16:00 I thought was quite late. I know places seem to do this now but I still find it annoying!

    I love everything about this hotel! The location is stunning, the decoration is beautiful and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and never had to wait long for it. The patio area is lovely for sitting out and enjoying the sunshine, and the lounge is perfect for just relaxing! I came just to rest and relax, and that's exactly what I did I just love it here

    We were in room 6. The bedroom is excellent, however the bathroom is tiny to say the least.

    Location for active people like our selves was excellent. Breakfast and the 2 evening meals we had were very good indeed.

    Cozy hotel and very friendly staff. Me & my partner spent 2 nights here and we booked the king-size bedroom with lake view. The mattress was comfortable and not too soft, of course if you are looking for a break from stressful daily life, the mattress quality is on my one of the priority. Indeed, the mattress was comfortable and not too soft, super recommend if you are seeking for a short city break and just few steps away from top hill.

    The location was perfect for visiting the properties I was interested in. The view from my room was like a large picture on the wall - I could look at it forever. The atmosphere and sense of history very relaxing and inspiring

    A nice stay in the Lake District.
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Small Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    We stayed in Room 2, which is a ground floor room but sadly this room urgently needs some attention. 1. Although a reasonable size, top of the TV wall near the ceiling there is a large water staining patch and also on the top of the right hand side wall near the side of the bed also has another water leak staining patc near the ceiling which needs attention with repairs and repainting. The room could do with painting in a lighter colour as the current 'karki' colour makes the room look dark. 2. Just under the TV, there is another stain on the painted wall (not sure what it is). 3. The room smoke detector on the ceiling was missing, although the base plate is still screwed to the ceiling. 4. The chair used with the dressing table was appalling, the base of the seat is a brown vinyl covering but a large patch of this was torn off and a piece missing on the seat showing the fabric base underneath. This seat should not be used in a guest's room. 5. Bathroom extractor fan comes on automatically when the bathroom light comes on, but is very loud indeed, could do with replacing with a quieter one. 6. The shower drainage hole is 'old' as the chrome plating has pealed off most of it, making it look dirty and tatty and the shower door seems very loose when closing it.

    The hotel is very nice place to stay, breakfasts have to be 'pre ordered' the night before as you cannot order on the morning of the breakfast. There are plenty of free car parking spaces on site. The rear garden is large and well kept and is very nice with seating area at the rear of the hotel overlooking Hawkshead and Grizedale Forrest. Staff at the hotel are very helpful and attentive. The choice of evening meals are very nice, and are reasonably priced and is advised to book a table in advance.
