We made a last minute decision to head to the Lakes for a couple of nights and this was an absolute gem of a find. The house itself is in a lovely setting and just far enough away from town to feel like you're away from the bustle. The staff are brilliant, very professional but equally welcoming and friendly. Breakfast has plenty of choice with good quality produce. Our room was a good size and immaculately clean. I feel the room was reasonably priced and we would absolutely stay here again in the future.

The Linthwaite House Hotel experience is a must have at least once in a life time. The hotel’s location is superb, the cleanliness level is beyond words, the staff are SUPER HELPFUL and friendly. Jasmine was the cherry on top, the solution oriented and who would never fail to put a smile on your face. Marco saved us by sending hotel’s car to pick us when we got trapped in heavy rain in windermere and were not finding any taxi. Linthwaite, I really hope I can visit again and meet same staff and enjoy paradise on earth.

The attention to detail and pure luxury. As we approached the gate and the gatekeeper welcomed us by name and wished us a happy anniversary. It’s these little things that make this place 5 star.
