On arrival we were warmly welcomed by the lovely manager who had been running the place for 20 years. She kindly carried our heavy suitcases to our room on second floor. We dined in on our first night, food was great. Breakfast was served a la carte with fabulous choices served to our table. Nothing was too much trouble. Room and ensuite was spotless warm and cosy. Our room was in a quiet spot. Did not hear any noise. The hotel is set in fabulous grounds and gardens. It was an easy 20 minute walk into Bowness which had fabulous restaurants and just a very lovely feel. The town looked onto the picturesque Lake Windermere. We were lucky to enjoy beautiful weather and we watched as autumn leaves appeared. We had a five night stay All staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this accommodation.

The Linthwaite house is stunning in every way. The grounds are like magic bursting with beautiful colours and unique statues and art. The building is beautiful. The most important thing is how wonderful and kind and helpful the people that work there are. Alexandra was so helpful with taking my reservations and sorting out the card. And another Alexandria was there for my wonderful breakfast making sure I had everything I needed. Karin the GM was great Jenna and Alfonso And Lucian the and Ollie served my beverages with always a smile Kamil Pasterki was so wonderful Jasmine and Tim everyday greeted me with a huge smile and remembered my name each time. Chris knew I liked a fire in the fireplace and when I came down he quickly ran and put more logs on the fire. Susan and Scarlet cleaned my room and always gave me extra water so clean. Emilia was so thoughtful. I hope I got everyone because each and every person made my stay a glorious one. Thank you all Claudia

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.
