Fantàstica estada a Sawrey
Pros:

La ubicació al costat de Hill Top, i en general de tot el Lake Distrixt, i la majestuositat de l'hotel. Les vistes des del restaurant. La tranquil·litat que s'hi respira. El bon tracte rebut i l'amabilitat. Ideal.

Cons:

El llit potser una mica estret

Pleasant, but hotel needs serious upgrade
Pros:

Excellent location, pleasant staff (only one!), quirky, comfortable.

Cons:

Property is beautiful but tired. In need of refurbishment. Lovely gardens but not well maintained and the driveway needs sharpening up. Poor first impressions. Juxtaposition with Hilltop completely ignored in marketing.
