A few hundred feet above one of the most beautiful lakes in Britain beckons a small gem of a hotel. It's called The Samling.
Set in its own sixty-seven acre estate, it's like no other place you've stayed. This is a hotel in the country and, emphatically, not a country house hotel. 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.
You can book The Samling like any other hotel, or you can have it all to yourself. These, then are the facts of The Samling. Everything else is strictly magical.
