Good location for Windermere, excellent rooms with good beds and showers, use of the pool and sauna included - these were nice but a bit small for the number of people staying there, some good art work too

We liked the location, facility inside the hotel, the family suite which was having good privacy. The view outside the room was amazing particularly while enjoying the hot tub. Breakfast was good, we enjoyed every bit of it. Plenty of parking space.
This peaceful, family-run Lake District hotel is a 5-minute stroll from Lake Windermere. The Burn How’s rooms are all located in the private grounds, away from the main building.
The whole experience at Sawrey house was excellent.

Our room was great.
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.

Perfect location to recharge and get away from the busy lives we all have. Peace and tranquillity, was simply amazing.
On days when you want to be looked after the hotel is next door, it's absolutely stunning, real fires, wonderful friendly staff and luxurious.

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.
I had thought that a space might have been reserved by the entrance for my car (Porsche 911 Turbo). No such thing. I had to park further along towards the main road - but nothing untoward happened (fortunately). Breakfast was good. I presumed it is one pot of tea for one and one round of toast. Perhaps I should have asked as no-one offered? But I have always been asked if I wanted more tea or toast at all the privately-owned hotels I have stayed in. Evening dinner was good - the fish and chips. TV in room has Netflix.
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.
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
I booked a 2 night stay at this beautiful hotel for my dads 60th Birthday for him and his partner. Exceptional staff, food was amazing and to wake up to those views were breathtaking. They really made a fuss of him knowing it was his special day.
Hotel was lovely and very comfortable. Staff were very good. Showers could do with updating and the food was lovely but the menu could do with a few more options. Would definitely stay again
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.
I can’t fault the hotel. It is not a chain, which is refreshing. Superb breakfast and friendly people. Right in the village but feels like a country house.
Upon arrival it was so personal. The staff knew who we were and very accommodating. The hotel and the grounds were beautiful. We could not fault our stay.
