About Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel hotel

This superb country house hotel is set in 6 acres of beautiful gardens and overlooks the breathtaking scenery of Lake Windermere with the fells beyond.

With a tranquil, idyllic setting, Lindeth Howe is the perfect antidote to a hectic modern life. The house was previously owned by the much-loved children’s author Beatrix Potter and you can still feel her presence today. All of the hotel’s rooms are elegantly furnished and some feature fabulous views of Lake Windermere.

The hotel’s restaurant offers lunch, dinner and afternoon tea and has recently received 2 AA Rosettes.

Guests can also relax by the indoor pool; enjoy the sauna and fitness room; or indulge themselves with various body therapy massages. Wi-Fi wireless internet access is available throughout.

Lindeth Howe has recently been awarded a Gold Award from VisitBritain, which adds to the 3 Star 86% merit score from the AA.
