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.

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.
