I loved our stay here. The hosts were friendly and helpful. I liked the room it was a lovely interior and comfy bed. The house was clean and the room was too. I loved the breakfast it was good quality and served hot. You could pick what you want. I would recommend it to anybody.
Our hotel is perfectly situated with views of Lake Windermere, just a short stroll from the bustling village centre of Bowness-on-Windermere and the boats that travel the length of Windermere, making...

Excellent hotel and spa, we celebrated a 21st and 60th. The service from the staff was exemplary, we were greeted with a glass of Prosecco on arrival, the spa was brilliant and very clean. The afternoon tea was delicious and the use of the Bentley to bring us to Bowness topped it off! A short stroll back from Bowness made the location perfect! Would definitely recommend

The room was very warm and comfortable
This peaceful, family-run Lake District hotel is a 5-minute stroll from Lake Windermere. The Burn How’s rooms are all situated in the private grounds, away from the main building.
The whole experience at Sawrey house was excellent.

Clean and the decor was class throughout the hotel.
Friendly staff nothing was to much trouble.
The food was excellent.
Just one minor criticism the plates could do with being hot as food went cold quickly.
Would definitely have a return visit.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Beautiful old house, great location. For Beatrice Potter fans, her house Hill Top right next door. Great pub just up the road. Unfortunately we didn’t book evening meals there so was fully booked. So you need to do that, but had lovely lunch there. Food in hotel was brilliant, but far too much, portions were huge, that’s not a complaint just such a waste.
We will be going back there, wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
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 view was breath-taking. you’d really get that old English town feel. It’s interesting that when you are in the Hotel, you could easily be whisked away and be part of its lovely history. Their staff, Angela was always ready to give tips on where to go and how to get there. Her personal insights were gold. She’s very warm and makes you feel that your presence in the hotel is appreciated.
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.
