Hilltop hotel with Michelin-starred dining overlooking Lake Windermere
Location & Grounds
Linthwaite House sits on a hilltop overlooking Lake Windermere, with 14 acres of landscaped grounds that include manicured gardens, woodlands, and a tarn for rowing. A dedicated viewing point offers panoramic vistas of the lake and surrounding fells. The hotel lies within walking distance of Beatrix Potter's house and a short drive from Grizedale Forest and the Lake District National Park entrance.
Dining
Henrock, the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant by chef Simon Rogan, is open Wednesdays through Sundays and serves a menu of small plates and sharing dishes using locally sourced ingredients. On Mondays and Tuesdays, an all-day dining menu is available in the Bar & Conservatory, which also offers a la carte lunch and dinner. Afternoon tea with themed selections and views of the lake is available, and breakfast is cooked to order with a selection of hot and cold options.
Accommodations
Accommodation options include Classic, Superior, Luxury, and View Rooms, as well as the separate Fell Suites and Loft Suite, each with individual décor and design. Many rooms overlook the lake and gardens, and some Fell Suites feature a log fire and spacious living areas. Bathrooms are fitted with Bath House toiletries, dressing gowns, and large towels, and rooms come with a tea/coffee maker for guest use.
Activities & Amenities
On the grounds, guests can play croquet, boules, or giant outdoor chess, and two row boats are available for use on the hotel's tarn. A small gym is located next to the croquet lawn, and electric vehicle charging stations are provided for guest use. The hotel has wheelchair access and facilities for disabled guests, plus a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, and valet parking.

“The manicured gardens here, dotted with art and leading to spectacular lake views, truly form an attraction in themselves, creating a serene atmosphere that feels both grand and intimate. Staff consistently stand out for their attentiveness and genuine warmth, making even the most practical matters, like a billing query, feel effortlessly handled. Dining presents a thoughtfully curated experience, particularly within the sophisticated yet relaxed Bar and Conservatory, where the scenery complements the well-executed dishes.”
