The Samling
Lake District
From $363/ night
A small country house above Windermere with sweeping lake views and a refined dining room.
The Lake District's lakes, tarns and fells have drawn writers and walkers for two centuries, and its hotels have grown up around them. Many are Victorian houses set above the water, with dining rooms that source from nearby farms and kitchen gardens.
Where to stay
Windermere and Ambleside are the busiest and best connected. Ullswater is quieter, Keswick and the Derwent Water area are good for hill walks, and the villages near Cartmel offer a food-focused base.
Good to know
Roads are narrow and busy in summer, so travel midweek if you can. Weather changes quickly, and the best views often come on the clearest autumn days.
