Our experience at Linthwaite hotel was incredible. The team assisted with arranging my proposal to my girlfriend and everyone made our time there extra special. The feeling of the hotel and grounds was very luxurious and the whole place was beautiful. We had a view room looking over Windermere and it was definitely worth the extra cost. Nothing was a problem during our stay and I would highly recommend Linthwaite House to anyone looking for a special occasion.

Visited this beautiful hotel some years ago and have just returned. It is even better. All the staff go above and beyond. Rooms are beautiful and views outstanding however we booked 3 luxury rooms and one was above the kitchen at the back of the hotel by the service entrance. We were told that it had to have air conditioning unit because it gets so hot apparently from the kitchens below it. This room is not luxury in comparison to the other 2 luxury rooms we were assigned. The front desk staff were more than accommodating and moved us so it was not a problem for us as other rooms were available. It is how they deal with a problem which matters and I can’t recommend the service, the location and overall beauty of this hotel. So relaxing. The conservatory bar and restaurant is beautiful. We will be back and will spend longer there next time. Thank you. Family from Jersey.

Beautiful. We have traveled extensively and experienced stays ranging from hellish to divine.This place ranks at the absolute pinnacle of our travelogue's, we have recommended it on to all of our friends and acquaintances, both when asked and gratuitously. We have severally gamed amongst ourselves at locales while traveling imagining how the current owners would go about improving the site we happen to be visiting. We plan on returning someday very soon.

My Husband and I went to stay for a weekend to celebrate his birthday. On arriving we were met at the car park by a man in a golf buggy who took us to reception and put our bags in the room. Check-in was fast and efficient and all the staff were lovely. Our room overlooked the front of the hotel and was lovely. We were greeted by a plate of fruit, chocolates and a note wishing my husband a happy birthday alongside a box of chocolates. The bed was big and very comfortable and the bathroom was lovely with nice toiletries, big towels, fluffy dressing gowns and a good shower. We had booked a two night dinner, bed and breakfast package and the first night we went to the Michelin recommended Henrock. We chose to upgrade the meal and have the full 10 course tasting menu. The food was wonderful, each course perfectly balanced and pretty as a picture. The only criticism I have is that the food was luke warm. I understand that you don’t want food too hot but ours just wasn’t hot enough. I don't know if it was because we were the last people in the restaurant or if it is a conscious decision to serve the food cool but it detracted from the experience for us. My husband struggled with one of the courses as it was very clove heavy so the server gave us a free dessert wine. A very nice touch.The staff were wonderful, all very knowledgeable about the food and about the wine pairing my husband had. The breakfast next morning was good, plenty of choice and all freshly cooked. The second evening we ate at the Bar and Conservatory. The weather was fantastic so we sat outside on the terrace overlooking the lake. The view was stunning, watching the sun set over the hills was amazing. The food that evening was very good, both our meals were delicious, made to order and piping hot. The staff were again knowledgable and really happy to help. On waking on the second morning we had a bill through our door for the drinks etc we had, we felt there was a discrepancy and spoke to the receptionist. She sorted it out for us and was extremely helpful. Every staff member was a delight, polite, friendly and keen to help. It made us feel very cosseted and added to the positive experience we had. We would definitely return to this hotel, we had a fabulous time.

This boutique hotel far exceeded our expectations and provided a very high level of service from start to finish. We rarley stay at the same hotel twice, but we decided to extend our stay we enjoyed it that much. The team provide perfect service from the moment we arrived until after we had checked out! I wouldnt hesitate to stay here again or recommend to other travelers. The food in the restaurant was really nice and offered long and shorter menu options depending on your preference. The team here are one of the best weve experienced and really take pride in what they do.
