Linthwaite house
An Edwardian country house, set within 14 acres of wooded hilltop gardens overlooking Lake Windermere, The Lakes.
Wave goodbye to the Summer crowds at Windermere and make a hasty retreat to Linthwaite House, set within 14 acres of wooded hilltop gardens, this Edwardian Country House is the perfect rural idyll in which to hole up.
Make like the Swallows and Amazons depicted in Arthur Ransome’s books, by idling on Linthwaite’s own tarn, catching fresh trout or gazing over the traditional dry stone wall into the sheep pastures.
If you need an afternoon snooze after all that fresh air, the hotel boasts a large loft suite drenched in Designer’s Guild fabrics, and Molton Brown goodies. Coddled in waffles on the king-sized bed contemplate the evening ahead through the retractable glass roof, which even closes automatically at the merest hint of rain.
The showstopper has to be the sublime view from the terrace, recline under the setting sun as it melts into the vast shimmer of Lake Windermere whilst the charming staff offer you an amuse bouche of truffle and egg mayonnaise wrapped in a bacon pastry or have a very British bash at some pre-dinner croquet under the watchful eye of the mountain range beyond. You’ll need to build up your appetite for delights such as smoked butter poached langoustine, braised pork cheek and pork crackers followed by loin of venison and red onion tart in a chocolate and port jus.
If you book the right room, plop with repletion into your private outdoor hot tub with a nightcap. Bliss.
