Linthwaite House Hotel ~ Romantic Lake District Hotel, Windermere
The great indoors set in the great outdoors. Linthwaite is magically situated in over 14 acres of wooded hilltop gardens 400 feet above Lake Windermere. The conservatory and terrace look West so the sun sets when you're having your pre dinner drinks! Nowhere is more peaceful! It really is a place to relax and unwind.
The hotel is only 15 miles from the motorway (Junction 36). In the grounds are gentle walks, abundant wildlife, a beautiful tarn with its own summer house, various strategically located seating spots, and for the really active, a putting/croquet lawn! Inside, the Lakeland house built in 1900 has been tastefully refurbished and the interior design is often described as ‘Raffles meets Ralph Lauren’, with a contemporary twist.
The service is unstuffy yet professional. Friendly and welcoming, like the real fire which burns in the cooler weather, the staff seem to appear from nowhere anticipating your every need. Near to Linthwaite you can visit the bustling lakeside village of Bowness; Beatrix Potter's home, Hilltop; Wordsworth's Dove Cottage and in any direction you like there's some pretty stunning scenery. There are numerous golfing and fishing opportunities nearby, and if you like boats whether you want to do the work or let someone else, you'll be in the right place.
