A lovely hotel next to Beatrix Potter's retreat at Hill Top with views down to Esthwaite Water. Our breakfast was included in our booking and we decided to eat at the hotel each evening as the food was delicious and very well presented.

Great place to visit for a relaxing break. Excellent service by all the friendly staff. Good choice of meals, not pub food at all. Will be booking to go again soon.

Lovely Hotel
We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Sawrey House. All the staff were very friendly and efficient. We eat there each evening and the food was always tasty and nicely presented. Very close to the Windermere ferry which we used a couple of times.

Anniversary trip
Attentive friendly staff, excellent food, good selection of drinks at the bar. Fantastic setting on the quieter side of Lake Windermere. Bed was a bit too firm for me but I've been nowhere that the bed is the same as mine at home. We will be back

Big variance in rooms for the same price
Lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings. The staff are friendly. However there is a big difference in the size of rooms for the same price. We were given room 8 which was too small for comfort with a double bed instead of king size and you have to crouch under tv to make tea and coffee. It spoiled our weekend. So best to check before you book and don’t book room 8 as it’s not worth the money charged.

Absolutely loved our four night stay here! We were in the Esthwaite four poster room which was amazing. One of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. The hotel has incredible views from the terrace and restaurant. The staff were all incredibly friendly and accommodating and the food in the restaurant was very good, although limited choice for vegetarians. Breakfast choices were varied and excellent, catering for all tastes. Lovely quiet bars inside with great selection of wine. WiFi difficult to connect to. Overall really impressed and would love to come again!

The location was perfect and the views from the terrace were exceptional and breathtakingly beautiful. The table service at the restaurant could be improved. Felt that the waiter hovered, making one feel a tad uncomfortable. Overall a lovely place to stay.

Nice hotel in a very nice place. Very good food (breakfast and evening meals) with amazing views from the food hall. The only small issue was that the food hall was always very cold (it was very cold couple of days outside) but probably because it has massive winds to enjoy the view.

Perfect location in a beautiful rural village with stunning views. Friendly and engaging staff. For us en route to Scotland with the benefit of Beatrice Potter's house maintained by the National Trust in its original condition. Fascinating and well worth the visit.
