Craig Manor, hotel in Far Sawrey

Overlooking Lake Windermere and the Langdale Pikes, the Craig Manor is 5 minute walk from Bowness. The rooms have modern decor, private bathrooms, and flat-screen TVs with satellite channels.

I like everything! The hotel was modern and very clean. The room is quite small but was expected, since we were just staying for a night. I felt very lucky that we got the room thats facing the lake windermere. There a lot of choices for the breakfast well, we had a very filling breakfast. Even the breakfast place had a nice view of the lake! Location is 10/10 as well, we drove a car, but we parked in hotel first then walk to town because it was just a 5-10 walk to the center.

    Delightful area, obviously Beatrix Potter is the big attraction but there are lots of walks nearby, it's a mile to the ferry to get across to Windermere, 2 pubs, both of which do great food, 15 minutes to Lakeside to catch a boat for trips along the lake, similar time scale for Hawkshead, not much further to Newby Bridge, Coniston or Ambleside.

    It is quiet and away from noisy tourists but you need to have a car to go there. There is a car ferry connecting Far Sawrey and Windermere but it may close when the weather is rough. Then you have to drive on quite narrow country roads to get in and out to visit places.

    Location was fine, especially to the ferry to cross Windermere to Bowness but note it is £5 per car each way. Be aware of driving, the lanes can be single track with few passing spaces so short distances can take much much longer than expected. Hawkeshead village well worth a visit for a cuppa and cake, need to pay for parking though. Avoid Hardknott and Wrynose pass at all costs!

    The location was nice and quiet.

    The location was nice and quiet. If choosing to visit one of the lakes for watersports, then Coniston is more pleasant than Bowness-on-Windermere as it’s less crowded and less touristy. The water quality also seemed nicer.

    Far Sawrey is a tucked-away hamlet between Windermere and Esthwaite Water. It's a "gently beautiful place" and you can walk directly from Cuckoo Brow Inn up onto the hills behind. However you really need to get in the car to get to the lake shore. We ate at the Cuckoo Brow Inn - couldn't really think of a reason to go further afield, as the food there is excellent.

    We came here to celebrate milestone birthdays of our family and friends and it was an excellent house to do that in. We also chose it because it was the Hawkshead Christmas market was the same weekend. We had intended to walk into Hawkshead but the weather was awful on the Saturday. It would have also meant having to walk most of the way on the road too. So we drove in and had we had a nice meal at the The Queens Head, before returning to cozy up for the night. On the Sunday, it was easy to get to Ambleside but we could not find any parking spaces there, so drove a bit further on to Grasmere, which is beautiful. However, we were very disappointed with our lunch at Heidi's cafe and would definitely avoid that on our next visit.

    Overall I couldn’t be more pleased with the location and services offered at The Cuckoo Brow Inn. The room was a great size, as a solo traveler I had plenty of room for all my bags. The room was updated to have some modern amenities - nice bathroom! The best part of this venue though is the delightful pub. Food is outstanding, nice selection of local brews and the kindest staff around. Cannot recommend the Inn high enough

    Fabulous friendly staff - who were working really hard when it was busy- but were always smiling and accommodating. Very welcoming- great location - gorgeous walks on the doorstep. Food was great. Nice and quiet at night, beds comfy. Family room was great- bunk beds tucked away behind small dividing wall gave everyone space. Would definitely come back

    The pub is great and had a good selection of beers. We chose this spot because they allow dogs to stay and we werent dissapointed, meeting multiple dog guests. Even though dogs were allowed, the place is still spotlessly cleaned and the staff were terrific. Suggest taking a morning walk along the trails to Hilltop and Beatrix Potters house.

    The quintessential lakeland getaway, perfect to wake up in and perfect to end the day, excellent food on site, comfortable and colloquial environment with friendly and accommodating staff, very dog friendly for any dog lovers and close to the ferry to Bowness if you want to leave your car parked up and just walk
