Not being to the Lake District before I had no idea where to stay. I spent many hours scrolling the internet and eventually settled on this hotel, what a great choice I made!! The hotel itself was absolutely lovely and we had a very large deluxe room with views of the garden and on a clear day you could see the lake (room 211). We only stayed B&B but all the other guests were commenting how good the dinner was, our breakfast was out of this world! It was a very relaxing hotel and tended to be more of the mature generation which suited us as we wanted no hassle. I personally feel that this hotel is of a standard more than a 3 star hotel and would definitely go back again!

PS There was also plenty of parking!!

We booked a romantic weekend break, to celebrate my birthday and our wedding anniversary. The website we booked through offered complimentary upgrade to a room with lake view or garden view. (subject to availability) That was the get out clause, what we actually got was a twin bedded (we booked a double) room overlooking the car park above the kitchen. When we complained to the management , we were told yes we had booked a double, but there were no other rooms available so they would zip the beds together. We were asked to wait in the lounge while they did this, they didnt even offer us a cup of tea. However our stay was further marred by the constant noise from the kitchen, and daily deliveries throughout the day. There was also and a steady stream of staff sitting outside the kithchen smoking. The food and service from the staff was excellent and made our stay, however the attitude of the management was not, an apology would of been nice. This was not even offered or any attempt to move us when another room became free. Idont think we will be in a hurray to go back.

Stayed here again and found everything 1st class from warm welcome, spacious clean and well equipped room to excellent dinner, breakfast and service and efficient check out. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a break in the Lake District.

I stayed at the Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel for two nights just recently. I booked quite late so got a good deal. I had a double room which I think was superior or it seemed to be. The hotel is beautiful and the hotel grounds are wonderful with delightful views of lake Windermere. My room had a raised area in front of the window so when I had breakfast in my room I sat and looked out at the views of the garden and the lake and it was the most tranquil, wonderful setting. Breakfast was delicious. Hotel spotlessly clean. Housekeeping staff friendly and polite.
However the most enjoyable part of my stay was the six course dinner which I had on my first night. Although a little more than I would normally pay for dinner it was definately well worth the treat ... and we all deserve treats! The dining room is absolutely lovely. The decor and surroundings just so charming., with large windows looking out onto the rolling gardens, a grand piano sits in the room which is tastefully decorated with traditional furnishings, candlelight and fairy lights which just give the room that romantic, cosy feel (pity I was alone as my partner had decided to stay home and tile the bathroom - sadly a diy enthusiast )
The chefs recommendation of cold carrot soup/puree was without doubt totally delicious. My hot soup which followed was one of the tastiest soups ever. My main course of halibut served on a bed of asparagus with duchy potatoes was doubly delicious, with just perfect sized portions. This was followed by black chocolate tart which was obviously divine and all was presented top class. Extreme compliments to the chef!
The service of the waiters and bar staff was second to none. Totally efficient, attentive, and professional, without doubt these gentlemen are a credit to the hotel. All this made my stay most enjoyable and I cannot wait to return to Lindeth Howe. Highly recommended.
