Staying at Sawrey House Hotel was a delightful experience. The room was beautifully decorated with a magnificent four-poster bed and a view of the lake, although slightly on the smaller side. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff making our anniversary celebration even more special. The location is superb, surrounded by picturesque sights like Hill Top and Beatrice Potter's home, though the dining options were a letdown. Overall, the hotel retains its elegance and charm, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.

I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were perfectly adequate, although quite small, and fortuitously for us, ours was conveniently on the ground floor next to the dining room. The service was exceptional - the staff were really friendly, welcoming, and helpful in advising us about local walks and nearby outings. The location was gorgeous with lovely views and an easy, big car park. The dining experience was a mix of the best I have ever had in a hotel, particularly over breakfast, although it had a few issues. The hotel's facilities were top-notch.

The Esthwaite Room I stayed in at this hotel was spotless and had everything I needed, but it was not well lit and would benefit from brighter light bulbs or additional lamps. The room was very small, which was a downside. The service was a mix of experiences; while some staff members were very attentive and friendly, others seemed more conspicuous by their absence. The location, with its fantastic views and beautifully decorated ambiance, truly impressed me. The dining experience was hearty with an excellent choice of meals, but I wish there were more vegetarian options. Overall, a lovely 2-night break at this beautiful hotel.

The hotel's location was very cozy with a huge crackling log fire for pre-dinner drinks, and the home-made canapés were a nice touch. The magnificent views from the dining room, lounge, and terrace were truly impressive. After a busy day exploring the area, the calm and beautifully decorated surroundings were a welcome retreat.

The service was exceptional, with friendly staff, especially Alin the waiter, who always had a cheery smile. The dining experience was delicious, offering a great choice to start the day. The location is perfect, near Beatrix Potter's former home, and the views are breathtaking.
