"Lovely cottage in an idyllic, peaceful spot on the western side of Windermere."
The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped with plenty of guidebooks which include some beautiful walks right from the doorstep. The owners, Julie and Chris are very friendly and helpful.

"This property is ideal for two people who like the peace and quiet of a small village."
It is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. There's the option of two local pubs that serve good beer and regular pub food. However, there are enough utensils in the property to self cater. We enjoyed a lovely stay.
-
"The property is in a lovely area."
Not very big but fine for a couple. Close to the ferry, two pubs nearby as well. Lots of great local walks from your door, Hill Top just down the lane. Great owners, very friendly and helpful. We'll use Sawrey Stores next time we're in the area.

Excellent walks right on your door step. Windermere Ferry, nice pubs and Natonal Trust, Hill Top all within a short walk of the property. Would highly recommend Old Sawrey Stores.

"This was an exceptional stay booked for my husbands 50th birthday couldn’t have asked for a better stay we will be back again Julie & Chris both fantastic would highly recommend."
-
"Had a lovely, peaceful stay at Old Sawrey stores."
The property was exactly as described and the information left by the owners was very helpful. All the property amenities were straightforward and practical to use. Thanks for sorting the twin beds. Though the property is close to the owners’s house they were very respectful of our space which we appreciated. Julie was really lovely. The property site is ideal for walkers who don’t want to be in a town setting and who are used to/don’t mind the quiet. Having a pub over the road was ideal for the first night too. We got the best of the LD and we would be back in a shot.

The accommodation is well fitted, very comfy bed! Nice location especially if you like walking and less than 10 minutes drive to Hawkshead and easy to get to other places. There's a nice pub just across the road from there as well!! We would definitely stay there again.
