We loved the pool the whole hotel and grounds, staff were wonderful. Rooms spacious and clean although I did find the lighting a little dark. Great bathroom and plenty wardrobe space. We loved the breakfast and the Asian Fusion restaurant was amazing.

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.

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
The attention to detail in every aspect of our stay, from the individual Victoria sponge with a pot of tea, to the decanter of Sherry in the room, was much appreciated. The hotel is both spacious and homely, with a warm welcome from both the staff and the fire in (one of two) lounges. The breakfast deserves a special mention, it really was special! We will definitely return.
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.
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.
Exceptional breakfast.
Utterly charming inn; so quiet and pastoral.
Loved the little hamlet of Near Sawrey and especially loved the strong connection with Beatrix Potter, both at Ees Wyck and also up the hill at Hill Top.
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.
