Lindeth Howe

The reception and lounge area decor were lovely as was the check in experience! Our room was a ground floor accessible room which was perfect for our needs-as we did not want to haul our luggage up stairs(we overpacked). The homemade muesli for breakfast was so delicious! We talked about it for days. It was very picturesque outdoors as well. I'd definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely experience at this gorgeous hotel. We were pleasantly surprised to discover the connection between Lindeth Howe and Beatrix Potter, which allowed us to appreciate the history of the building even more. The whimsical details in the interior design were truly delightful. The ground floor sitting rooms and the dining room are beautifully designed and very inviting. The bedrooms we booked were wonderful, although they felt a bit dated. The garden is lovely and peaceful, and our little ones loved exploring it. We made a last-minute reservation, and the staff were very accommodating.

We found Lindeth Howe to have a perfect combination of comfort, quality furnishings & stunning garden/views. Breakfasts were a real treat with a combination of buffet & waiter service. Management & general staff are warm & welcoming, yet discreet, & form the backbone of the hotel's success. This has resulted in repeat bookings from satisfied guests. We intend to be one of them! A solo guest wouldn't feel uncomfortable here. There is a Beatrix Potter theme, but with a modern twist, & isn't overdone. It mostly attracts couples, but there were 2 extended families, & a sprinkle of Japanese guests while we were there, which added to the atmosphere. Bedrooms are not huge but have high ceilings & very comfortable beds. The well carpeted corridors ensure a peaceful nights sleep.

The hotel is quintessentially beautiful. The decor was classic yet contemporary. The paper towels in the toilets / bathrooms were of noticeable excellent quality . The front of house , bar and wedding planner staff were excellent . The waitress / waiter service weren't quite as friendly but all seemed hard working and deserve recognition of that. We came for a wedding and the event was coordinated exceptionally well.

The room was lovely, very clean and nice selection of tea and coffee. The shower was good but over the bath and we would have preferred a walk in one. (I forgot to ask if there was one, when booking). The bar and lounge areas were beautiful and quirky with the books on the walls. Absolutely loved the history of Beatrix Potter buying the property for her Mum. The breakfast was amazing, all cooked fresh and perfect poached eggs. The gardens were pretty and we walked through them down the hill to the lake.
