I spent a week using Alastair-Sawday-recommended hotels in Scotland, and started off with this venue in the lake district. Quite honestly, it was the best of a very good bunch. Welcoming staff, two rooms that are dog-friendly (you need to book well ahead), bathrooms/bedrooms that are classically furnished, incredibly clean, well-thought out and well-equipped, without being twee or over-cluttered.

Thanks very much for the kind review. Yes, we do think about the guests' needs all the time. We stay in other up and coming places and try to see it from the guest's point of view. Then we adjust the service, tweak the design, and everything is in a constant state of evolution. That's why we listen and respond... More

Our daughters were at a loss to give us something special for our golden anniversary, and we suggested a short break in the Lake District. Their choice of hotel was first class. We stayed for three nights and the staff were all excellent. The food, from breakfast to dinner was inventive and cooked and presented beautifully. We could not fault... More

We both had a wonderful relaxing weekend away at Linthwaite, service was very good. Breakfast was 'OK' could be better. Didn't eat in the restaurant but the other guests mentioned it was very good, I did opt one night for a pudding while I was relaxing in the lounge area with a cup of Hot Chocolate and I must say...

Thanks for your kind review. Sorry about the price; country house hotels are expensive beasts to run. But you are worth it aren't you? Mike Bevans More

We've stayed at the Linthwaite House Hotel a number of times over the years and always had a lovely time. It's expensive to stay here but they frequently run 3-for-2 offers, and also give discount for NHS employees. We once booked quite late and ended up in a small ground floor room adjacent to the back of the kitchen which... More

It was her 50th birthday at the end of 2012 and we wanted somewhere extra special this year! We certainly found it and the sun came out too for just about the first... More

Stunning were most of our guests reviews! Our wedding was here in May 2013 and we couldn't have asked for better service. From the beginning to end, starting with the booking, the planning and the actual day, Linthwaite and it's staff are the finest.

Thanks or taking the trouble to review Linthwaite on TA. I'm sorry you found our staff to be impolite. As you can see from the many positive reviews below it's not the experience most guests have. Someone must have been having an off day, for which we can only apologise. Oh yes, and the dinner is delicious! Thanks again Mike More

Hotel and gardens are set in very nice grounds and maintained well. We had a one night stay in the loft suite which cost us £441 which included breakfast. Although the suite was finished to a very high standard it does not justify the amount we paid. The room was very warm and in arrival we were told not to... More

Many thanks for taking the trouble to review us on TA. As I have explained to you in response to your comments, there isn't any a/c at present in the Loft Suite but it is being installed in response to guests' suggestions. The Suite is expensive, but it's also very well occupied. Kind regards Mike Bevans More

An excellent establishment . Decor to a high standard,andy at the helm runs a tight ship......staff very courteous and accommodating. The restaurant is an experience.....beautifully executed food,excellent wine menu,pleasing surroundings and one of the few restaurants to present an English breakfast as an artistic piece! Views breathtaking all year round. Please patronise this hotel.....you won't be disappointed.

Wow, thanks very much. Andy our Manager does indeed run a tight ship, and it's great to read your comment about the breakfast. We always say the breakfast is the last meal a guest sees, so pay special attention to it. We hope you'll come and stay again soon, Regards Mike Bevans Owner More
