The award winning Linthwaite House Hotel set within 14 acres of spectacular wooded hilltop gardens and 400 feet above Lake Windermere in the Lake District, is the perfect retreat to relax, walk and soak up the views from one of its 30 guestrooms, in one of the most picturesque parts of England. From Spring 2011, with the love of the outdoors in mind, couples will be able to enjoy the lake view sunset vistas from the comfort and warmth of a new outdoor wooden hot tub.
Formerly an Edwardian private country house, Linthwaite offers a relaxed and unstuffy atmosphere where great service is delivered by staff who really care about the little touches. These touches are also reflected in the classic, yet contemporary interiors by designer Roberta Fulford. In 2009, she created the sumptuous Loft Suite with its retractable glass roof and spacious bathroom. The next phase of the development will see the upgrading and enlargement of four further guestrooms with more luxurious bathrooms and lounge areas. One of the rooms will have an outdoor seating area where guests will be able to relax with a coffee whilst taking in the fresh air and the other ground floor room will feature the private outdoor hot tub.
In the hotel grounds are gentle walks with strategically positioned seating spots, abundant wildlife and a beautiful tarn with its own summer house. For sporty guests, there is a putting and croquet lawn.
