Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel in South Lakeland

Superlative food. Eclectic and interesting decor in lounge/ bar areas. Restaurant itself over modern and over lit. Some staff didn’t seem very happy, but overall we enjoyed our evening.

We called in at Lindeth How for a spot of lucnh and a couple of beers after a mornings mountain biking. Friendly staff, great food and good beers sat out in a beautiful garden, highly recommended

The food provided was overpriced and simply not good enough for the standard expected. We had occasion to complain about the meal quality and received the response "The chef apologises" No offer to replace with another option or a drink or bill adjustment by way of an apology. Not good enough for a four star establishment.

The day’s menu was set out in the foyer so you could decide before you entered the restaurant if you so wished. Service and food very good

Fantastic service and great food. We dined there and all our fare ( lamb, scallops with pork, and pate) was fresh and locally sourced. Highly recommend lamb.

We didn’t stay at Lindeth Howe but we booked dinner at the hotel for my birthday. If I’m honest we did try to book 3 other restaurants but due to COVID everywhere was fully booked. Even though we tried to book a month in advance. The internal decor as you lead into the restaurant is stunning and reflects some of the history/story of the building and the grounds are lovely too! I took lots of pictures. And I liked that we were seated at the bar before being led to the dining room. We are a couple in our late twenty’s and the first thing we noticed in the dining room is that we were the youngest people in there and the average age maybe 55-70. Now, that’s not a problem whatsoever but it was a strange detail to notice.For us this really reflected the “vibe” in the restaurant. In addition, we noticed that the restaurant was silent so we were actually whispering at each other in order to have a conversation. As you can imagine this was uncomfortable. Now, we aren’t people in our twenties who expect loud over head music. We respect a fine dining restaurant. But perhaps some audible piano / jazz music would’ve meant that we couldn’t all hear each other’s conversations and therefore have to whisper. And then the food... the parfait was presented very delicately and pretty (I was impressed) but actually it was so fiddly and messy to even eat from a bowl that it just didn’t make sense. And then my partner ordered lamb rump and they didn’t serve it rare as he asked and not really cooked correctly considering it’s the fatty cut. Very soon after consuming our food we asked to move to the garden so we could “talk to one another” and finish our drinks. Oh yeah - wasn’t impressed by the chunky bulky wine glass either .... So in general we felt like it was over priced in comparison to meals we’ve eaten at a better standard in different cities in the UK. And that perhaps the vibe / ambience isn’t suited for a young couple.

We were staying in the Lakes and came across this wonderful hotel for a delicious afternoon tea! The sandwiches were great and there was an amazing selection of cakes and treats! The staff were also friendly and the venue was covid safe - would definitely return!

We have visited Lindeth Howe before (see my previous review) for afternoon tea. We were so impressed that we decided to book a nights stay on their dinner, bed and breakfast deal to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary. So, so glad we did. It exceeded all our expectations and considering the current COVID restrictions it was an amazing experience. We do a lot of overnight and city break stays and have stopped in some amazing places. Lindeth Howe is now in our top 5. A true 5 star experience for us. The hotel location, setting, gardens are fantastic but the hotel decor inside is something else. It’s stunning and a credit to the owners and who ever did the interior design. We stopped in room 3 which is an easy access room, one of 3, rooms 1,2 and 3. These rooms have access to the outside straight from your room. I would highly recommend room 3. It’s huge with a massive walk in wet room. Immaculately presented and a real treat. The food is amazing wether a quick bar snack, cream or afternoon tea or a slap up meal in the restaurant. Top quality, freshly prepared and good size portions at what I think are reasonable prices for the high quality. Best of all the staff. What a great team and a credit to the owners. Friendly, welcoming and can’t do enough for you. We will return and on a regular basis. Lindeth Howe is a real, real treat and a great base for exploring the Lake District. I would highly recommend a stay here. Trust me you will not be disappointed. Thanks to the whole team at Lindeth, fantastic 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We have stayed here 3 times before but not for a couple of years. There had been some decorating & the chairs in the lounge were new, it was classy. Our room had lovely views over the lake & everything you needed was supplied. The staff are very attentive & polite, happy to help, we felt like we were waited on hand & foot. The Chef deserves a mention, loved the menu, all the food was served very hot & beautifully presented. On our first night we had Fillet Steak, it was cooked to perfection, so tasty-congratulations. We will certainly be coming again & I can highly recommend a visit.

went for famiy sunday lunch with three generations and were really impressed, the food was enjoyed by all and was faultless exept one tiny thing and that was one of the main courses was slightly cool but that was not a problem, the portion sizes were good and the flavours especially the blade of beef were fantastic, the staff were very polite and attentive.

We booked some weeks ago for the Panto Crime evening on 5 December. We told them at the time we were vegetarian and I am type 2 diabetic. The receptionist said it would be fine. There was no menu available at the time but she assured us it would be fine - plenty of choice and the chef was used to vegetarians. When we arrived, they had our name spelled very wrongly on the table plan and that worried us ...not a good omen ... but we took a table. The menu said only vegetarians who had pre-booked could have the vegetarian option. We explained that we had told them when we booked. We got blank looks. The starter was a button mushroom and a sprig of raw broccoli in thin batter with a tiny bit of aioli. It was served cold. The main course was cheese and cabbage risotto. That's right - cabbage. You couldn't taste the cheese. IT WAS UTTERLY BLAND, except for cabbage. OMG. I had had nothing since a small sandwich at lunch. I knew my sugar was very low. I had a roll, the chocolate pudding and a gin and tonic - that's all. My sugar shot up suddenly and I felt very ill. We diabetics are taught that you can have a drink if you eat carbohydrates and protein in a meal with it - not alone. I'd already had the drink when I discovered my meal was inedible. Throughout this, I HAD TO TRY AND CONCENTRATE TO SOLVE THE MURDER MYSTERY. Any diabetic knows that low sugar impairs your speech and thinking. It was an ordeal. The actors were fine but they'll soon lose their reputation as a troupe if they associate with this place. We paid forty quid each for this evening.We won't be returning. Last time we visited, we got coleslaw sandwiches as a vegetarian afternoon tea. We shoudl have known it would turn out like this. I told the receptionist of my concerns before I left. All she did was offer to get me something else to eat. No thanks. You gotta be kidding. No offer of compensation of course. I emailed them immediately we got home. So far, no reply. I cooked myself some eggs on toast on returning home and managed not to collapse. Thank heavens my husband was driving. It was awful. This place was recommended to us by friends. Actually, they do not deserve to succeed.

We walked up from the Marina which was great to do. The restaurant is attached to an attractive lounge and bar, which is all very welcoming. The adjoining dining area is spacious and pleasant, busy on a Tuesday but not crowded. A gin menu is very hip and the moment, and the gins were good. For starters we had the wood pigeon and the beetroot, both were very good indeed. The lamb chops for main was just what i love to order ( but my wife beat me to it this time ). I had the salmon. The salmon itself was sublime, the mashed sweet potato was a bit of a distraction, and I think any other type of potato would have worked better. My cheese board on a small picnic bench was different and didn't quite work ( for me ), and the pistachio desert my wife chose could have much better with some small tweaks. Overall we had a very nice meal, the service was attentive. At first a little over attentive but it settled down through the evening. I got the impression that some of the staff were very new, hence their enthusiasm. The wine list suited us, and not silly prices. The final bill didn't hold any surprises, although I'm still not a fan of service charges. Since travelling to Canada and USA I usually tip far more that the standard 10%, so if establishments throws in a 5% service charge, who loses out ? In summary, we had a lovely evening out.

Some lovely flavours and would recommend the chicken liver pate as starter, the Lamb cutlets for main and the chocolate marquise for dessert

My husband and I were staying at the Lindeth Howe for our golden wedding and cannot fault the hotel. In fact my husband says we will return. The food was excellent. My husband likes his steak well done and when I saw the size of the steak I was doubtful. However it was cooked to perfection. The menu was interesting. The staff attentive We hope to return

Cannot fault this Hotel in any way! Lunch was superb, service excellent, and we certainly hope to go again.

Excelente lugar alejado de la ciudad, mala la recepcion nada cálida, arribamos al hotel a las 18 hs y no pudimos tener cena por que no hicimos reserva. Tienen que tener en cuenta que estan lejos de todo, no hay ascensor ni nadie que ayude con la maletas, al hacer el check out ofrecen cafe para llevarnos, le digo que prefiero agua, pagamos todo y cuando nos ibamos me da la botella de agua y me dice que debo pagarla. No me parece para el costo de la habitación que el personal sea el adecuado. Muy frios todos, no volveria ni lo recomendaria.

This was included in an out of season deal with dinner bed and breakfast The staff make you feel special and meals were served quickly with no undue delay

Comida y servicio excepcional. Nuestra solicitud de un pastel de cumpleaños sorpresa fue recibida con facilidad y el pastel fue una gran sorpresa para mi esposo.Nos alojamos por 4 noches. El comedor es un hermoso espacio con preciosas vistas al jardín. Un montón de espacio alrededor de las mesas. Los desayunos eran encantadores y relajados. Todas las cenas eran ciertamente suntuosas.

Superb food whatever time of day,quick and efficient service from the waiting staff,nothing was to much for them

The food is beautifully presented and tastes as good as looks. Service is exceptional. Highly recommend a visit to Lindeth Howe dining room.

for a real treat, a meal at Lindeth Howe is a treat. Delicious local produce amid fantastic decorations - some evoking Beatrix Potter's relationship with the house

The staff are excellent. My wife who is on a GF diet had a wide range of choices, as the chefs were able to adapt most recipes to accomodate her.

ツアーの待ち時間にクリームティーをいただきました。お茶はポットにいっぱい入っていて満足です。室内が凝っていて、いろんな所を眺めまわしていました。

We were sat in the lounge by the fireplace to look at the menu and drink our aperitif. When the starter was almost ready, the friendly waiter brought us to our table in the lovely dining room where we could enjoy live piano music. The spanish waiters were fantastic: friendly, kind, eye for detail (my partner dropped his knife but quickly picked it up again. Nevertheless the waiter immediately came to our table to change the knife), elegant without being pretentious. Great selection of vegetarian dishes, great taste. We finished our evening again in front of the fireplace. It was a lovely night out. Would come again

We met friends here for lunch on the Saturday of Spring Bank weekend. They were staying in the hotel for the weekend.

高速道路で渋滞にあい、ホテルへの到着が遅くなってしまいました。

We stopped here as part of our tour of the Lake District. The place is billed as a 4 star hotel and looks absolutely delightful and charming. The tea with scones was delightful.

WE had wto eveing meals in the dining room during our stay and all of the courses were excellent. Whilst there was not a huge choice there was a good variety and the meal felt well balanced. Service was very good and the dining room itself was bright and very attractive with good views , well wortth a vsit.

First visit to Lindeth Howe, nice setting and well presented hotel.

We had 2 nights at Lindeth Howe and loved every minute.

This was the best dining experience if had the staff were very attentive the food was excellent the views were lovely l would deffinately return for a longer stay

Lovely greeting on arrival and so the weekend continued. Food and service was great and the room spacious, clean and an amazing view.

Lovely hotel and very courteous staff.

food was lovely and presented very well . The ham was very plentiful and eggs very fresh. Service was very quick. .

El servicio fue rápido y eficiente servido por un personal muy educado. La comida estaba bien presentada y delicioso.

Tenía un buen té de sábado por la tarde en el salón cálido. Pasteles y sándwiches de buena calidad buen servicio y ambiente. Bonitas vistas hacia el lago

Decepcionante que dice menú bien y es bien presentada, pero la comida en sí era inexpresivo y algo insípido. Pasteles de cangrejo contenidas en nombre de carne de cangrejo, salmón sólo era aburrida y poco interesante, mientras que las verduras de acompañamiento desde la intención...

Reservamos una estancia de dos noches en el informe hecho en otro lugar, Lindeth Howe este informe es para el restaurante. Bebidas en el lounge, donde antes de dar su orden antes de llevarle a su mesa. Un gran comedor, luminoso un excelente menú a...

El hotel tiene habitaciones bonitas y público para tomar una copa antes de la comida y el comedor es muy elegante. El servicio es muy bueno y la comida era excelente.

Bien y la alergia alimentaria. El servicio era muy bueno con aperitivos de cortesía de antemano. Atención a los detalles.

We enjoyed two evening meals in this wonderful restaurant and are looking to a return visit later in the year. The locally-sourced fillet steak deserves a particular mention!

We had a lovely overnight stay on a dinner bed and breakfast basis.The food was great,tasty and cooked to an excellent standard.The service was professional and courteous.

This was our first visit to Lindeth Howe, the former home of Beatrix Potter. Set in beautiful secluded grounds, the hotel and restaurant are delightful, full of old world charm. The roaring log fire was extremely pleasant on a cold day. Our afternoon tea was served in one of the lounges seated in one of the bay windows overlooking the gardens bathed in afternoon sunshine. It was not hard to imagine Beatrix Potter sitting there herself. The array of cakes and sandwiches were first class and freshly made along with endless supplies of tea and coffee. Well worth a treat and exceptional value for money. Once bitten by this experience, it will be hard not to repeat.

From the warm friendly welcome, to the fine dining experience this restaurant and the staff provides a special few hours of indulgence. Beautiful food is served which I believe is largely sourced locally. The dining room is tastefully appointed with the exception of a random guitar stuck on the wall! Overall this is top choice if anyone is looking for a great place to dine

Amazing local sourced food, served to perfection.. Attentive staff and the added ambience of a piano player... Recommended..

The Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel is a 10 minute drive from Bowness-on-Windermere. It is in a very quiet area ideal for a relaxing lunch or dinner. The restaurant is traditional, with linen table cloths and napkins. A menu that would suit most tastes. The food is nicely cooked and well presented.

Fantastic weekend away at Lindeth Howe! Always get giddy with excitement when visiting the Lake District but this wonderful place was the icing on an already delicious cake! Superb meal with pianist accompaniment (who takes requests was a nice touch!) and attentive efficient staff made it a truly wonderful evening! Well done to all!

Dinner and breakfast very good . They also provide bar meals from noon until 21:00 hrs with a great choice

We were asked to wait in the pleasant lounge area before being invited to dinner. We had a drink with nice nibbles, while we selected from the menu. We were seated and served tap water and a pleasant amuse. So far, so good. The atmosphere can be characterised as a bit stiff and very English, to which the Polish staff was a welcome distraction.Our experiences with the dishes was very ambiguous. We had made a lucky and a less successful choice from the menu. The risotto, confit de canard (duck) and delice de chocolat were quite good, whereas the salmon starter (too salt), the seabass (foam was supposed to contain oyster, but tasted like water) were less appreciated. Also, the glass ofwhite wine was rather mediocre. Moreover, the selection of 3 dishes could easily turn out to form a rather unhealthy mixture, with hardly any vegetables in it. On the whole, the quantity of calories served was quite sufficient (notwithstanding some previous reviews), but the serving of vegetable ingredients should be better. Regarding the prices, better value can easily be obtained in Bowness, but the experience to dine in the place of one's stay overnight has its benefits too.

Stunning surroundings but in need of much Updating internally.... Carpet in room very tatty. Room keeping walked in un announced whilst otherwise occupied, even though we had only checked in 3 hours prior. No fresh towels next day, just hung wet towels up. Waited 15/20 minutes in reception to be given access to the very small pool. Really noisy due to works going on. Restaurant staff really nice, but hotel staff not so much, it's like there 2 different outfits. Glad we spent a lot of time out of the hotel and around Windermere. Really disappointed, however breakfast reasonably nice.

Dingy loft room, couldnt swing a cat in, overpriced, no lift for disabled, elderly etc. Reception staff not very helpful or understanding, on a plus food amazing.

Ate in the bar one evening and we really didn't think it was suitable. So if eating need to pay more get dressed up and eat in the Dining Room otherwise eating on your laps in a bar area.

The hotel is in a beautiful location and has decent rooms, but it has a few problems. Many of the staff appear to be new and not very knowledgeable. The rooms need some spiffing up (e.g., peeling paint in bathroom). But overall it is clean, safe, and does have truly lovely grounds.The food service staff was probably the weakest point. The restaurant's food was good but not great. The hotel has good bones - lovely character and style, feels clean and well aired out. But the beds and pillows were a bit hard, and dresser drawers scraped and caught when closing (not the best quality construction and it shows). Similar problems with the windows.Still, not a bad place to stay. Just needs a bit more care to move up to a higher level.

In a lovely setting we enjoyed a fantasy meal. EVERYTHING was perfectly cooked from scallops to lamb to seabass to complicated desserts. Just the right size portions so that you were satisfied at the end of the meal & the hubby didn't feel cheated by nouvelle cuisine. Touches like purple new potatoes add to the experience & it did feel like a culinary experience. Excellent unrushed service. Loved it all.We also returned for afternoon tea the next afternoon & again everything was perfect.

All the dishes we ordered for our dinner was tasty and presentation was also good. However, the staff were not well trained and were not quite friendly.

This was a wonderful hotel with fantastic service. The hotel was spotless with a friendly welcome. The food was beautifully prepared and the service was efficient and extremely professional. It was so relaxing with a log fire in the lounge and lots of tables and armchairs with the wonderful views of the garden to look out at. The rooms were very spacious with lovely toiletries. I can find nothing negative whatsoever to say about this hotel. I also had a small afternoon tea which was heavenly.

A really nice place to spend a few days or a good base to stay for longer everything first class nice rooms comfortable beds. first class food and a big log fire in the lounge nice to look at after your meal The grounds are stunning and we saw a young deer just feeding in the grounds.A very nice relaxing break with very attentive staff . We will be back soon

I really don't know where to start this review. There is so much to praise this hotel for.The staff are excellent from the minute you arrive to the minute you leave. The hotel is clean and fresh, and the family room, really was a family room. In fact we stayed in the superior family room that is on the hotels website and it was just as the picture showed.The food was excellent, lovely fine dining but plenty to eat. As the previous reviewer has said, it didn't look a lot, but having 3 courses of a rich content left me stuffed and my family and we are definitely "foodie's". Breakfast was ample with lots of choice to suit any taste, they even offered a separate vegetarian cooked breakfast.The room was very comfortable, of a good size and the bathroom was clean with enough towels and toiletries for the four of us. The pool was a little small and not very deep but on each occasion when we used it we were the only ones there. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone to visit, so much so that I have full intentions of returning myself.

We stayed here on a three night break and the hotel, grounds and staff were lovely. However, we do not recommend the restaurant. Whilst the quality of the meals was first class, the portions were so small as to be ridiculous. One of us always prefers small portions but these were just plain mean. Paying circa £25 for a main course should not mean that one sees more of the plate than the food! It is time such places learned that fining dining should not equate to dieting dining.

Beautiful country hotel very close to Windermere. staff very attentive, rooms spacious and clean, food well presented and tasty. The swimming pool is small but adequate. A fab place for couples to enjoy a relaxing few days away. highly recommend it!

One night in the Westmoreland Suite in September 2015. Thoroughly enjoyed a short break in Windermere and recommend the lake cruise.The hotel was chosen for its suite and also its vegetarian menu and both looked great on the website. The hotel delivered on the suite but not the food. Despite giving the hotel a heads up that we were coming to sample the vegetarian menu they were totally un-prepared the evening of the meal and at first were unable to offer the tasting menu. After a bit of toing and froing with the kitchen the waiter was able to offer us a free drink and the pledge of a newly put together vegetarian tasting menu. They knocked something together and it was okay but it was a disappointment overall. The next day the manager did reduce the cost and we weren't charged for one of the tasting menus which went some way to alleviate our disappointment. On a good note the suite was absolutely fab and one of the best rooms I've stayed in. Another good note was the breakfast which was excellent. However I don't think I would return to this hotel after the service experience we had and my vegetarian partner was quite disappointed. I would imagine most guests will love this hotel and the food but it didn't cater for vegetarians very well on this occasion.

Picked this hotel for birthday weekend - just four of us. Really appreciated the lovely dining room which served excellent food both dinner and breakfast. Staff really helpful anf friendly. Rooms nice - not spectacular but warm and comfortable - perhaps the rooms we had which were " Executive" are in need of a a bit of a refresh in some parts of decor. Turn down service a nce touch. Parking good. Would visit again because dining area, food and sitting rooms really lovely.

Arrived at a very busy Bowness , got lucky and found a parking space on the main shopping area. The shops are a ladies dream , every shop you could wish for , all had the winter sales on, I think we went in them all and the weather was supberb. We had booked for Afternoon tea at the Lindeth House Hotel and Restaurant. When we arrived we were greeted by the manager and friéndly waiters. The high tea consisted of lovely sandwiches , cakes, apple slices and other fancies followed by coffee and a scotch whisky. A stroll round the house and gardens in the Sunshine was needed before we left for Home

We sampled the tasting menu which was exceptional in both taste and presentation Several small plates served in a relaxed atmosphere perfectly cooked in every case One of the best fine dining experiences we have enjoyed I a long while and very good value

I've never posted anything on trip advisor but I felt like this actually needed to be shared as it was awful. worst afternoon tea I've had.. But most of all the service. We arrived here for afternoon tea, there was 8 of us and it was a special occasion. First of all, we hadn't even got out of the car yet and one of the staff came out to say just checking that you hadn't parked in the way! What? nope we're not silly and we've parked weirdly in the car parking space you've provided. Then we go in, booking for 8.. they set up on 3 tiny tables, with 6 arm chairs, so that 2 of the group had the sit behind the us all. Clearly this is not going to work.. so one of us said stating the obvious, I don't think there is enough room, the guys response was "well I'll have to set a table in the restaurant area, will be about 20 minuets".. 20 minuets, to lay down, a plate with a knife, and cups and saucers? Oo and a napkin.. Really? For 8 people. Well it didn't take him 20 minuets like he said it would have.. he clearly didn't want us to move, even though we had booked about 2 weeks before hand. You knew we were coming!! He did not seem happy at all. It was constant sort answers all the way through, which we all found very rude and uncomfortable to be around. Nobody asked if anything was okay or if we needed anything else.. nothing and when we asked for something, well I didn't even dare. Felt so unwanted, no wonder it was dead. The food, well the cheese and pickle sandwich was good.. could of made it at home though.

Booked a one night stay on special offer to relax after Christmas and New Year. Excellent choice.Have stayed here several times before so knew what to expect.The Polish girl on reception was a hoot, so natural and friendly we immediately felt at home. We booked a superior room and were not disappointed. Luckily for us it began snowing as we arrived and by the time we unpacked we were in a winter wonderland.Coffee and scones after arrival were fabulous. My family reckon I make the best scones ever but I can honestly say the ones we had at Lindeth were as good.First time we have used the pool and it will not be the last. Like swimming in a warm bath surrounded by lovely murals..We decided to upgrade our dinner to the tasting menu. Wonderful choice! Lots of small delicious courses but at the end of the meal could not have eaten another mouthful.It was so nice to be able to relax in the lounge with our coffee and chocs in front of a real fire.Breakfast is a delight. Lovely fresh fruit and yoghurt, cereals, juices and pâtéseries followed by cooked choices - scrambled eggs and smoked salmon is so good I have never tried the other options.The combination of quality rooms,excellent food and brilliant staff make this a gem in the lakes that We will return to again and again.

Our return to Lindeth Howe was certainly no disappointment. Lovely quiet setting made more magical by the frosting of snow that fell on Saturday. Our room was quite small but still offering views, although the lighting was inadequate- quite difficult to read!. Restaurant is superb. It would have been nice to have bottled water in the room, as well as glasses, and I find fixed shower heads a bit of a pain, but that's a personal preference. Hard to beat if you are looking for a quiet, luxurious stay in a marvellous setting.

Went up on the 10 expected a Xmas party but all was cancelled Location was good hotel was good well greeted at reception and showed us around took us to our deluxe room which was nice with a good view although a couple of minor glitches in the bathroom which need seeing to Food was good although there was only us in the dining room as the party was cancelled good five course meal except I ordered a rib eye steak but got a rib eye piece of beef On the whole all was well but the astronomical prices I was billed for was not for that type of hotel We will not be visiting again

Used a Travelzoo voucher for our one night stay. It was our third visit and was as good as ever. It is a very comfortable and homely hotel and the staff are friendly and attentive. The room we had looked over the lake and although on the small side was really nice and would book again. The 'small afternoon tea' was perfect - a great selection of finger sandwiches, cakes and delicious scones. We had canapes in the lounge before dinner and then a very interesting and beautifully presented dinner. Lovely mix of flavours and an excellent range of options on the menu. Breakfast was also very good although we did not have much appetite after our dinner of the evening before.Thanks to all the staff at Lindeth Howe and I am sure we will be back for our fourth visit.

We've just returned from a couple of night's stay at Lindeth Howe. The food in both restaurant and bar was beautifully presented and tasted fabulous too. All members of staff were polite and helpful and I couldn't possibly pick out one for the staff award scheme. Our room was fantastic; comfortable, spotlessly clean and with a fantastic view over the gardens to the lake in the distance. We would love to return one day.

Dining in the dining room at Lindeth Howe was very formal, The meal was average, not outstanding. The chairs were too low for the table for someone who is not very tall. Staff were charming.

My husband brought me an afternoon tea voucher from boots for my birthday so I saved it for today whilst on our hols and for our wedding anniversary. We had a lovely afternoon and the food was very nice

Stayed here for two nights in September 15. Food is out of this world. Service exceptional. Hotel spotless and full of character.Highly recommend this to anyone seeking relaxion with a touch of luxury. Would certainly go back.

We stayed 2 night DBB. The grounds were lovely and so was the position as you could walk into Windermere from there.The hotel was a little dated and felt the furniture needed a revamp.The food was lovely and so were the waiting staff.What let it down was the bed. The mattress was so uncomfortable and not only that they had put two singles together which had a zip down the middle. We had two bad nights sleep went home tired! They had no wifi for the two days we stayed which was frustrating as I needed to reply to emails.

Just arrived back from a two night stay at this fabulous hotel. Where do I start?!The welcome was friendly, the public rooms and spaces very well appointed and comfortable. Outside terrace, lawns and gardens are all imaculately kept and we found the terrace a lovely place to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of a day spent walking on the fells. The receptionist pointed out the shortcut through the grounds to Bowness. We even saw a deer on our way!We booked a superior double room and it was really good. Very large, comfortable bed, exeptionally clean room and top quality bedding. Large window with nice views of the garden. Bathroom well appointed and clean. Large bath with very good shower over. Plenty of hot water for a deep soak to ease aching muscles from that walk!Food was excellent. Everything cooked to perfection. Top marks to the chef and his staff. The desert was to die for!All the staff are very attentive, friendly and efficient.We didn't get to use the swimming pool, so we'll save that treat for next time. We'll most certainly be booking again and have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone who is looking for a relaxing, comfortable break with a touch of class.

Both my partner and myself had a wonderful time here. The service was impeccable and we couldn't fault in anyway. We stayed two nights b&b and ate in the restaurant on the first evening. I have years of working in restaurants and hand on heart the food was some of the best I have ever eaten. One negative is our bathroom could do with revamping for a 4 star hotel it was tired, but even so this did not spoil our stay and we would definitely stay again.

A lovely, friendly place to eat. The restaurant is spacious and the standard of food very good. The service is excellent, with attention to detail. There is an atmosphere of genteel charm throughout. It is a good place to stay, too, especially in winter, when the roaring fires complement the sense that this was a [more than comfortable!] home.

We went with relatives who do not eat out very often. The lunch was excellent value especially for the Lake District Country Houses both in terms of the quality and the price. Service was excellent.Would strongly recommend.

My partner and I booked a room and table at the hotel and he quality of he food was superb.From the pre-starter soup, through to the desert, every course was dished up with style and grace, all the food had good texture and flavour.The only negative comment was about the service. Everytime someone came to the table it was a different member of staff. Drinking water glasses not refilled until requested (repeatedly), food and drink delivered to our table not for us, and extremely long period of time between the main course being cleared from the table and the desert menu being offered (after we flagged someone Down to ask!).Alas, this did somewhat put our opinion of the establishment down, which was disappointing when compared to the food which deserved 5 stars alone.In summary, exquisite food, service alas, not up to the standard of the food.

Wonderful food to cordon bleu standard. Consistent quality and the service is wonderful - polite and helpful. The quantity is just right and the quality first class.

The restaurant was very well run and even when busy the staff gave us the best service. There was a good choice of food on the menu and was beautifully presented.

We had dinner here as non-residents, and enjoyed it very much. By comparison with the usual eye-watering prices of Lake District hotels it seemed good value (three courses, aperitifs, and middle range wine came out, with tip, to about £50 a dead). The food was good - lovely beetroot mousse for a starter (and I say this as a person not well known for a love of beetroot), well cooked hake with confit duck for one of us and lamb two ways for the other, and delicious (and imaginative) desserts. Staff were friendly and service efficient. I didn't see much evidence of any dress code in the dining room, and some diners there were on the noisy side; but it wasn't stuffy as in some places in that area, and I liked the lack of pretension.

Amazing staff, wide variety of local food. Very fine dining indeed. The breakfast is amazing. Such happy memories!

Everything from the service, quality of food, ambience - amazing! Would definately return to this lovely place.

We liked everything about this hotel we could not fault it, very clean, staff were outstanding, beautiful room, food delicious and we were made to feel very welcome

Stayed for short midweek break,luckily we got a deal on secret escapes for DBBWould never have paid full price for this hotel .Rooms are nice enough but not as plush as you would expect when reading about the hotel,its history and upmarket image .Things you would expect weren't there such as fresh flowers or even nice plants in the hotel public places,no daily newspapers in the lounge/reading room,bar limited choices,restaurant no maitre de ,food good but not for the prices if paying full prices,bathrooms tired and expectation and advice regarding dinner attire waste of time as folks were in the dining room in jeans when they told us about strict dress code,this was particularly annoying as my husband went out of his way to take jacket and tie.Had a nice enough time but definitely not as upmarket as they would like to be.

Me and my girlfriend came for a girls afternoon tea then I came back a few weeks later with my fiancé. I have been to several places for afternoon tea across the country but this is by fair the best. From phoning to make the booking the customer service was excellent. The food was fantastic and you could tell it was all homemade. The setting was spectacular and the house was beautiful. Excellent value for money.I will be back again and hopefully to stay as a guest for the night. Thanks again! Angela.

Old fashioned curtesy, good food a most enjoyable meal every thing was just right and served at a sensible rate not the usual rush rush

We went to the Lindeth Howe for afternoon tea (our new obsession!). The conservatory where they have the afternoon tea was a really lovely place, even on a cold & rainy October afternoon. The old, quirky furniture fits well with the deep comfy sofas. The afternoon tea itself was reasonably priced and you got enough for your money. The cakes were delicious and the sandwiches were the best I've tasted within an afternoon tea, sometimes people forget about the sandwiches and care only about the cakes so it was good to see some attention paid to the butties and their flavour!All in all a lovely afternoon, would go again.

Open to non-residents, this restaurant offers superb food with service to match. We ate here for three nights as residents but anyone wishing for excellence should give it a try.

Food was very good, several courses, all really nice. However not much in the way of quantity, but good quality. Pleasing staff.

Food and service definitely the best part. A couple of staff certainly not as you would expect at this type of venue and need to up their clint facing skills. The hotel rooms could do with a little modernisation but not much... The lounges and fireplaces are superb and no where better to have a G&T!! Will go back but just for food and drinks.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon for tea. Decor and furnishings were a little dated and not really to our taste but the lounge was comfortable, clean and the service was excellent. The afternoon tea was really very good. Just the right quantity. The sandwiches were nice even though the fillings were quite simple and not all of the crusts had been removed. The scones were excellent and all of the cakes were very good - especially the banana muffins. Definitely recommend for a good value afternoon tea.

We had a wonderful afternoon tea here. We were warmly welcomed by friendly staff. The decor is very nice with lots of interesting historical touches. A wonderful view over the countryside to the lake. The food was delicious, choice of four sandwich flavours. Homemade scones, biscuits & cakes. Will definitely visit again!

Hello Trip Advisor,I wrote a review for the Lindeth Howe Hotel about 4 weeks ago, could you please tell me where it is?Kind Regards,David Lloyd

My sister and I spent two days last week at Lindeth Howe and so often when you're really looking forward to something, it doesn't live up to expectations. Well not in the case of Lindeth Howe! If it's good old fashioned comfort you're after, you'll find it here. Very comfy beds, lots of space ( superior room), lovely view of grounds, spotlessly clean. Pool & gym area also very clean. The staff could not be faulted! Friendly and courteous, it seemed that all they wanted to do was make us happy. And the food!! Tremendous doesn't start to cover it...different, tasty, great choices, very well cooked exactly to our ( exacting!) requirements without a hint of a grumble. Location was perfect too, a stroll across the path in the grounds then ten minutes or so into Bowness, thus avoiding the crowds, cars and lack of parking space. Highly recommendedand we'll definitely be back!

全員バイトかと思わせるくらいサービスは悪かったです。前菜のサバは〆てあるわけでもなく味付けはないに等しく、アップグレードしたステーキもかなりいまいちでした。ラムはおいしかったです。前出の日本語のレビューのとおり、websiteでは案内されていないですが、メールで確認・予約すると、宿泊客にはfull courseの割引がありました。

The code says no denim or trainers - clearly the American party who were there did not read that bit. This hotel looks a little tired but it was once Beatrix Potter's house so I guess it's been around! The food was excellent and that was what we went for so no complaints. A nice area to sit out afterwards including a lovely two seater garden swing.

Took my girlfriend to a afternoon tea here we was welcomed at the main entrance the staff was great and the selection of food was great also the weather was sunny and dry we had it outside and loved every bit of it.

My husband and I loved the three dinners and breakfasts we received as part of our stay at the hotel. The portions size was perfect for us -- we are not heavy eaters, and the presentation was amazing. Every meal was a work of art. Everything was very yummy.
