Linthwaite House, Lake District, UK
Perched upon a hilltop, this charming boutique hotel in the UK’s Lake District has some of the best views over the famous Lake Windermere and the surrounding green hills you’ll come across. However, it’s not only the views that make this one of the best British hotels, the interiors here are exquisite. A seamless blend of old and new they have the building’s original features as the backdrop with a selection of modern art from around the world reflecting the international tastes of owner Analjit Singh, (who is also the genius behind South African gems Leeu House, Leeu Estates, and Le Quartier Français).
Nestled within 14 acres of private estate, this country house hotel is all about relaxing amidst beautiful scenery. Whether you spend your days beside the private lake or exploring the charms of nearby Windermere, this is a beautiful rural hideaway amidst some of Britain’s most beautiful countryside. If you’re a culture vulture then you’ll love visiting the nearby houses of William Wordsworth or Beatrix Potter.
The majority of the 36 rooms are located in the main house, while the 6 Woodland Suites are located on the hotel’s estate. Some of the rooms are pet-friendly so your four-legged friends needn’t miss out on the fun!
Stella, Linthwaite’s fine dining restaurant, serves Italian-inspired dishes and a mouth-watering Afternoon Tea with some of the best scones in Cumbria – not to be missed.
