Old Sawrey Stores

We had a fabulous stay at Old Sawrey Store, our hosts were so helpful and accommodating.

We had everything we needed for a wonderful stay - definitely give all a five star!

Terrific stay at Old Sawrey Stores and our lovely host Chris who could not have been more helpful during our stay.

Many thanks.

Old Sawrey Stores is a brilliant place to stay.

The accomodations has everything you need for a self catering holiday. It's really well thought out and the perfect space to spend time on a rainy day or come back from hikes in the lakes. There's a little shed for use too which we found very useful for drying wet equipment. The bed is big and comfy, the shower is good and the kitchen is well equipped. The surrounding area has some lovely hikes and things to do. We didn't have a car but still managed to get out to lots of nice places all within hiking distance. It's also a quick ferry trip across to Bowness. Chris and Julie were amazing. They went above and beyond to make our stay more comfortable, offering to give us lifts and even gave us a travel cot and some toys for our 9 month old baby. They were very friendly and helpful. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here, a great way to see the lakes and a wonderful place to stay!

I found Old Sawrey Stores a very welcoming & well appointed space.

Its light, compact layout works nicely & had everything I needed for a pleasant stay. In a quiet, rural location with easy access to no end of fabulous walks in the surrounding areas, it made a great base for a weeks’ stay. Chris & Julie were excellent hosts; extremely personable, helpful & full of local knowledge if required, whilst are also respectful neighbours. One happy guest! Many thanks

What a lovely little place to explore from.

Everything you need including secure bike shed and parking! We had a great week, massive thanks to Chris for his answering questions and willingness to assist!

We had a wonderful stay at this place and couldn’t be happier with our experience.

The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of the Lake District, surrounded by beautiful scenery and very close to great walking trails and hiking routes. It truly captures the peaceful Lake District atmosphere. The accommodation was spotless and extremely well-maintained. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and easy to use, and the heating worked perfectly which made the stay very cosy. The shower was excellent with great water pressure and hot water. The hosts were absolutely lovely, very friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. Having parking available was also a huge plus. Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay and we would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Lake District. We would happily come back again!

This was our 3rd visit at Old Sawrey Stores what an absolutely lovely place to stay great location fabulous walks love the remote area lovely little pub just a stones throw away.

Booked one of the recommended restaurants that Chris and Julie suggested(Billy’s Bar) fantastic food great service and only a few miles from the apartment. Chris & Julie are both great checking to see if everything is ok. Will definitely be returning again next year. Thanks for another great holiday. Paul & Joanne Glennon

Old stores is a cracker of a place.

The owners are super friendly and very helpful. The location is ideal for exploring Windermere and the surrounding area. The ferry is close and the bus stop around the corner. The local is 100 yards away. We had a super holiday and Old Stores was a big part of that.

Fabulous accommodation , spotless and well maintained.

In an excellent location and the owners were very helpful and friendly.

Personally I would of liked more comfortable seating , although the seating provided was fine for a short sit down say 10mins any thing longer became a bit uncomfortable.

Maybe a two seater sofa may suit the cottage better. The bed was two singles put together not the most comfortable but very clean, The Old Sawrey is a cosy little cottage and very clean , there was a good selection of cooking and crockery utensils once again all very clean, with tea towels and a selection of cleaning materials The shower was good with regular hot water. All in all not a bad stay. The biggest disappointment was not with the accommodation, but the pub 50 yards over the road, we went over for an evening meal and was told cooking and serving was stopped at 7.30, we arrived at 7.40pm.

We have just returned from a lovely week at Old Sawrey Stores.

This little studio is perfect for two, and Chris and Julie are great hosts. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of lovely walks, and a five minute drive to the ferry over to Bowness. Hill Top Farm, the home of Beatrix Potter, is within walking distance, along with 2 pubs if you want to eat out. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the studio is well equipped. We were aware before we booked that there was no oven, and although we didn't think this would be a problem, in reality it wasn't ideal. The property would benefit from a mirror, there is a small shaving mirror in the bathroom, but if like me, you like to blow dry your hair, it's useless. The entrance to and exit from the property can be quite tricky, it's a single track road and visibility getting in and out isn't great. Finally, its the first time we've ever booked a Sykes property (and we've booked a lot!!) and there was no welcome pack, so remember to take some milk or you'll have a bit of a drive to pick some up!!

Absolutely amazing place to stay.

Owners very friendly and informative. Well equipped couldn’t want for anything. Local pub’s amazing will definitely be booking this property again.

Owers very welcoming and able to give appropriate information when asked.

Great location with lots of walks from the doorstep. Cottage comfortable and clean, just big enough for 2.

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.

Cosy and comfortable cottage in a lovely quiet and peaceful area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Delightful accommodation - cosy and well equipped in a perfect location.

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.

We enjoyed our stay at Old Sawrey Stores, the owners live next door and were very friendly and helpful.

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.

Lovely accommodation very comfortable with everything you need.

Very friendly owner. Lovely area with loads to see and do. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

Bijou and quality combined.

An ideal base.

Beautiful place to stay, lovely property, well maintained and of an excellent standard, would highly recommend this 5 star property.

Impressive open plan accommodation, great location lovely hosts.

Many thanks for a perfect stay.

The owners were extremely welcoming and flexible as our holiday plans altered unexpectedly.

The cottage was spotless, comfortable and furnished to a very high standard. Both Julie and Chris were superb hosts and ensured our stay was quiet and peaceful. Both gave superb information about the best places to walk, swim and eat. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a fantastic holiday.

Great accommodation and location.

Very friendly and helpful hosts. Great location for visiting the area around Windermere and beyond,

Lovely stay, thanx Chris and Julie.

Could do with a fish slice and perhaps a wooden spoon, protect the pans.

This little holiday cottage has everything you need for a relaxing time with the pub 100yrd away with excellent food .

.. its all you need for the perfect relaxing break!

Ideal for two seeking a comfortable base for walking.

Compact with all you need, pub close by and ideal location to access Hawkshead area.

Fantastic location, great accommodation for two.

Very helpful owners live next door.

Lovely accommodation quiet location, but about 50 metres away from a pub.

Great base from which to do some wild swimming within a mile of a lovely tarn. Great walks and cycles right on our doorstep.

The location, the beautiful landscape at Far Sawrey and the walks.

The lovely modern accommodation and the kindness and helpfulness of the owners, truly lovely people.
