Hotels Near Saint Peter's Parish Church Sawrey in Claife

We booked here for a lunchtime on the last day of our holiday and to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary. The pub is in a lovely location and the staff on the whole were welcoming and friendly. We ordered steak and ale pie which is a favourite of ours and we found the contents of the pie absolutely delicious. It was made with 2 different types of pastry, shortcrust for the base, and flaky (?) pastry for the lid. The lid just melted in the mouth but the shortcrust base/ holder for the contents was very hard. It was accompanied by what seemed to be freezer chips and peas, and a pot of packet gravy, which was a real letdown. We live in North Yorkshire which we have always felt was an expensive area for eating out, but for a lot lower price of under £20 each we would have received home made chips and a choice of veg. Such a shame as it was meant to be a treat and the skill is clearly there as evidenced by the contents of the pie. Not too good for us this time I'm afraid.

We stayed in one of the individual 'chalet' style twin room bungalows lining the drive to the main house for 4 nights. These rooms offer a lot of privacy and are quiet with your own front door entrance and windows and balcony with table and chairs overlooking the very pretty and well tended gardens. The beds and bedding were really comfortable, you could control the radiators to your preferred temperature and the bathroom, whilst small, was functional with plenty of hot water and good quality towels. It was really helpful to have allocated parking right outside and all the chalets have this. It's a very short walk to the restaurant/reception. The small bar and restaurant is traditional in style and nicely laid out with many tables offering views of the beautiful gardens. There are plenty of cooked breakfast options and the produce and cooking is exceptional. We ate in the restaurant on two evenings on a DB&B rate. Lovely meals - the lamb cutlets and sea bass fillets in particular were knockout. As others have commented the staff and service is exceptional. From arrival to departure you are made to feel like a very valued guest and nothing is too much trouble from the incredibly efficient and friendly team. There are many other much higher end hotels who could learn customer service from the Burn How. Only a 5 minute walk down the hill to the lake and nearby shops and restaurants, just added to the benefits of staying here. We would definitely book this hotel again if visiting the area, and would highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lovely cosy hotel, our room was very comfortable, shower was good as was the bath. Bed was very comfortable and we slept well both nights. It was very quiet. Breakfast was brought to your door in the morning at a time convenient for you and was really nice, choice of cereal, hot roll, yoghurt, juice, tea or coffee. There is a kettle with tea, coffee and milk in the room too. Wifi was good. Our host Jenny was super and very helpful with walks in the area. All in all I would definitely recommend staying here. Don't let the signs of building work outside put you off..it was not an issue at all.

The feeling of an English country villa is very cozy. When traveling with a family, we thought that three people would squeeze into one bed, but when we came back, we found that the service staff had put up a folding bed. The service staff was very nice. If there was no service staff after 7pm, you could call if you needed anything, and enter and exit the hotel by yourself with the key. The restaurant is warm and clean, the service is good, and the dishes are also rich. It has its own independent parking lot. I will recommend it to my friends.

Plentiful supply of Tea & Coffee in room ,which you had to replenish from reception . i am now Tea Total & Alcohol Free after this mini vacation .

This castle hotel is 200 years old and has a very old English style. Staying in this hotel during Christmas feels romantic! Warm! Friends who accompanied me were very surprised! We took a lot of photos in the hotel! Every corner of the hotel is suitable for taking pictures. Unforgettable hotel! Excellent!

1. Location, the hotel is just by the lake, but it is a 30-minute drive from Windermere, and it is far from the Lake District. 2. Some rooms can accommodate an extra bed, 15 pounds a day, including breakfast. 3, the hotel is large and has a lot of parking spaces. 4. The meal is great, classic English. 5, the hotel toiletries are good, is the British Royal Development Supplies MB, the bathroom's heating rack is open in the summer, the towel will be done overnight. Great

Came up for a meet up with friends for some walking on the surrounding fells. Arrived about four and the carpark was full and like an ice rink. Waited a few minutes and thankfully some day walkers on their last day came and took their cars away. Checked in and happily I was in the main house. The rest of the group was already there and so it was odd for drinks and food. It's been a few years since I've been to this hostel as my Wainwright journey has had me in different areas. Looks like the communal areas have had a fresh paint job which has brightened up the building. Had breakfast twice which was excellent. Made my own on the last morning and the smaller kitchen was in desperate need of a mixing bowl. Other than that no issues. All in all a great stay and I look forward to another visit in March. Hopefully room 7 is my room again on that visit.
