Detailed Review
This is a hotel in the country and, emphatically, not a country house hotel,
so there's none of that snooty nostalgic stuff.
Instead, you'll discover deep comfort,
the fruits of a thoughtful kitchen
and service so good you hardly notice it.
Food here is light, full of good ideas and loved unreservedly by our guests.
Our cellar gains new admirers with every visit too, fans of the grape have a treat in store. As do those with an eye for a view: Wordsworth paid his rent here,
probably on time too, for this is one of Lakeland's most unforgettable viewing points.
Wandering the estate's woodlands, fields and landscaped gardens may not turn you into a poet but it will make you feel very, very good.
There are ten rooms at The Samling. Each of them (except Yan) has a view over Lake Windermere and the mountains beyond. Most are suites or duplex junior suites. Each has a large bath and a power shower and its own individual character. Five rooms (Yan, Tyan, Methera, Pym and Tethera) are in the main house, the others are in closely connected buildings set into the hillside. Peace, quiet and the run of The Samling's sixty seven acre estate come as standard.
Press Quotes
"With views over Windermere, the Samling is the best country-house hotel in the Lake District. A double room costs at least £200 - and it’s almost worth the money just to simmer in the outdoor hot tub after a yomp on the fells, and watch the setting sun dunk itself in the lake." The Times 07
