Our hotel is perfectly situated with views of Lake Windermere, just a short stroll from the bustling village centre of Bowness-on-Windermere and the boats that travel the length of Windermere, making it easy to visit Ambleside, Brockhole, Wray Castle and Lakeside without a car. Need to improve Bar and Spa area.

Linthwaite House offers luxurious accommodation, with stylish, individually designed bedrooms and bathrooms. Many overlook the lake and manicured gardens as well as the surrounding hills and mountains. Our stay at Linthwaite House was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking landscape and peaceful atmosphere. The location offered the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility—close to the town and lake, yet surrounded by nature in a way that made us truly disconnect and unwind. The facilities were luxurious, and the kindness and professionalism of the staff exceeded every expectation. We instantly felt welcomed and at home. Dining at Henrock was a highlight—the food, service, and ambiance were mind-blowing, easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. We also enjoyed meals and drinks in the bar and conservatory, which were equally memorable. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated. What we loved most was the community feel of the hotel. It’s quiet, calming, and deeply connected to the natural beauty around it, yet it offers all the comfort and sophistication of a world-class boutique hotel. We left feeling completely refreshed and already dreaming about our next visit. Thank you to the entire team at Linthwaite House for an unforgettable stay.
