The best introduction is to say that all of the other positive reviews of Sawrey Ground are right, and there's not much left to say without being repetitive...about the peaceful location, the excellent breakfasts and afternoon teas and the great surrounds of the Lake District.
What I can add is that Mike and Gill are a very warm and genuinely welcoming couple who are expert in the art of being both attentive and unobtrusive. Mike will chat for as long...or as little...as you like about subjects of little or great importance...or feed you as much...or as little...as you feel you need before striking out for the day's adventures.
As part of an end-of-school trip, I wanted to show my 17-year old son some of the gems of England and we found a treasure trove here. Mike gave us good simple advice on options for walks, places to visit, extra options, what to avoid, and always had a map handy to take for the day if needed. On one miserable, wet day he suggested a day trip to the East Coast, and even rang a friend to see how the weather was there before we committed to a long drive. It was a great day, helped by Mike's map!!
I'm now saving up to take my wife to meet Mike and Gill :-)
