This hotel is really nice, just got back from staying here. If you do not drive it is a bit of a dodgy walk to town, but only takes 10 mins and a taxi will only cost £2.50.
The service is like no other hotel I have stayed in, all the staff are friendly and helpful. You can relax in the lounge after a busy day walking and play boards games or just relax.
Breakfast is lovely and a good start to the day.
The rooms are lovely and comfortable, all the home comforts you could possibly need, including DVD & CD player.

What a fantastic little hotel from the moment you arrive and see the amazing views of Lake Winderemere the stresses of a busy life simply ebb away and you feel tranquil & calm desend upon

The hotel itself is beautifully appointed one reviewer suggested the feel is a mix between Ralph Lauren & Raffles , well I could not agree more. Cream Tea is a must sat in the big comy sofas in the beautiful conservatory.

Our room was spacious and nicley furnished , bed was so comfy & bathroom although small was spot on with its Molton Brown products Oh and the lushes thickest towels ever, devine !!

We were on the Fine Dining Package, which is great value, however only one minor , we would like to have seen some simplier choices on the menu maybe perhaps a simple steak or pasta the menu is beautiful but is pure Fine dining, although I am sure if you were to request the chef to make you something simply this would not be a problem.
Finally the staff all just wonderful, the service is second to
none. You will not regret your stay at this wonderful !!!!establishment.

The hotel is in a beautiful location. The food was excellent, the accomodation comfortable with the open log fires particularly welcoming and above all the service, the staff and the ambience were first class.

My husband and I were lucky enough to get a very reasonable two night deal, for a stay at this fantastic hotel.

The room was very comfortable and the standards of cleanliness and attention to detail were incredible. By the time we came back from dinner, the bed had been turned down, and the bathroom had been tidied again! The Molton Brown toiletries were lovely and this hotel had the rare commodity of a real hairdryer in the bedroom (not the pathetic excuses for hairdryers that you normally get!).

The food had to be the high point for us though. As a couple of avid 'foodies' we don't think we've had better meals in any of the other hotels we've stayed in (and there have been a few!...). The choice was varied, and chef cooked his excellent quality ingredients to absolute perfection. The meals were a lengthy affair, but this allowed us to enjoy the lovely surroundings and the fine wines all the more! Breakfast was a joy as well, with plenty to choose from.

The staff at this hotel show an obvious pride and enthusiasm in their work, and nothing is too much trouble. The professionalism is second to none.

I should be on commission for this review, as I don't think I could praise this hotel enough, or find anything negative to say about the place! If you are planning on going to the Lake District in the near future, do yourself a favour and go to Linthwaite House!
