The setting
Linthwaite House sits on a wooded hillside above Lake Windermere, around 2.9 km from the centre of Bowness. The grounds run to several acres of lawn and garden, with views down to the lake and the hills beyond. It is a quiet spot, set back from the main roads, so you usually hear nothing but birdsong. Free on-site parking makes it easy to arrive by car, and from there you can explore the area on foot or by ferry.
What to expect
The hotel has 30 rooms across three floors, and this deal covers a Superior Double room with a full double bed, private bathroom and free Wi-Fi. Breakfast is included each morning. There is a restaurant and bar on site, plus lounges with open fires and a small indoor plunge pool. The Superior Double measures around 24 square metres, and pets are allowed. Staff are known for warm touches around special occasions.
Things to do nearby
Bowness Pier is about 1.2 km away and serves as the departure point for cruises on Lake Windermere. Blackwell, the Arts and Crafts House, is also around 1.2 km away and is worth a couple of hours. The Old Laundry Theatre lies 1.4 km off, and the Windermere Ferry crossing is roughly 1.6 km away. Walking trails and viewpoints across the central Lake District are within an easy drive.
