Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel, Bowness on Windermere

Once owned by children's author Beatrix Potter, this country house hotel and award-winning restaurant is set in beautiful large gardens, overlooking Lake Windermere and the fells.

With a calm and quiet setting, all rooms at Lindeth Howe are elegantly furnished and feature fabulous views of Lake Windermere, the gardens or woodland.

The hotel also has free Wi-Fi, an indoor pool, sauna and fitness room. Body massage therapies are available.

The award-winning Dining Room has 2 AA rosettes and offers lunches, a 5-course table d’hôte dinner menu and traditional afternoon tea.

In 2009, Lindeth Howe won Lancashire and Lake District Life Magazine’s ‘Lake District Life Restaurant of the Year Award’.

Lindeth Howe has a 4-star Country House Hotel rating from the AA.

Bowness is one of the few villages situated on the edge of the lake. The hotel specialises in sightseeing tours, golf, fishing, walking and mountain bike hire. However, the glacial landscape offers many more activities, all of which we can help arrange.

The Lake District is renowned for its great literary and cultural heritage such as William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Lindeth Howe is not only superbly located to visit all of these, but has plenty of leaflets on them as well.

The Dining Room - Awarded 2 rosettes, Lindeth Howe has an excellent reputation for good food that is accompanied by a discerning, value for money wine list. Throughout the day, you can enjoy morning coffee, tasty light lunches and afternoon tea with homemade cakes and scones. In the evening, look forward to a scrumptious dinner served in a candlelit dining room. The seasonal menu provides a wide range of choices and with advance notice, the chefs can cater for all diets.

Lounges - The Beatrix Potter library has a range of books, guides and leaflets on the area for you to browse through, as well as information on Beatrix Potter herself. The hilltop lounge with its sunny aspect overlooks the lawns with a garden door that opens up onto the terrace. And as the evening descends, relax in the bar lounge in front of the log fire and enjoy the tipple of your choice from the well stocked bar, whether it be a glass of local beer or a flute of fine champagne.

Leisure Facilities - A small heated indoor pool, sauna and fitness room are available. There is also the chance for guests to unwind with a massage, but it is best to book in advance.

Special Occasions - Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, or simply a nice surprise, Lindeth Howe can arrange champagne, chocolates, flowers and anything else you might require to make it a truly memorable occasion.
