What it is

The Samling Hotel is an intimate luxury retreat perched above Lake Windermere, combining contemporary comfort, Michelin-starred dining, and panoramic views of England’s beloved Lake District.

What it isn't

This isn’t a bustling country house hotel with large crowds; it’s a quiet, refined hideaway designed for those seeking serenity, natural beauty, and exceptional gastronomy.

What we think

The Samling Hotel distills the essence of the Lake District into a singular, unforgettable experience. The beautifully appointed rooms and suites are styled with understated elegance, many featuring floor-to-ceiling windows or balconies that frame the lake and fells beyond. Each space feels thoughtfully curated—plush bedding, handcrafted furnishings, and subtle nods to the region’s heritage. The culinary highlight is the on-site restaurant, where locally sourced ingredients are transformed into imaginative, Michelin-starred dishes, complemented by an extensive wine cellar. Service is attentive and personal, adding warmth to the hotel’s sophisticated ambiance. Whether strolling through the hotel’s gardens, sipping a glass of wine on the terrace, or simply gazing at the ripples on Windermere, guests will find a peaceful escape at The Samling.

You're here because
