The most unstuffy country-house hotel in the Lake District, recently voted in the top 200 hotels of Britain by the AA, Linthwaite enjoys one of the most spectacular and romantic hilltop locations set in 14 acres of landscaped gardens overlooking lake Windermere. Chintz has been banned in favour of comfy sofas and kilims, and crackling fires in the lounges add to the welcoming atmosphere. The terrace acts as an outdoor lounge in summer, with unparalleled views to accompany pre-dinner drinks. 'A perfect escape from city life' and 'work seemed another planet away' are recent guest comments. The style of food is modern British, with a daily changing menu incorporating the best local ingredients. Imaginative dishes and an eclectic wine list have given the hotel a well-earned reputation including AA rosettes. A virtual tour of Linthwaite can be found on www.linthwaite.com.
