We stayed at this hotel as part of a wedding party and it was a truly lovely and wonderous time. The rooms were fantastic and beautifully appointed and the food good. Above all the staff were so helpful and did everything they could to help us enjoy our stay. I would definitely go back to this hotel again! more

We have just been married at The Samling (30/05/08) and I must say that our expectations were met entirely. The staff were friendly and helpful and the location is one of the most beautiful in the Lake District in terms of Hotel views of the surrounding area. If any small mistakes were made, they were rectified immediately. The reason we... more

With the imminent arrival of our first baby, we wanted somewhere special to go for Easter and chose The Samling. We read the reviews on Trip Advisor of the hotel, and it almost made us change our mind. I think though it is very difficult to please everyone all the time, especially at this level of pricing, and I am... more

We have just returned from a 2 night stay at the Samling. Its position is wonderful, with stunning views over the Lake and we found the staff to be very friendly.

The first thing they did wrong was no... more

So that's no reception desk, no bar, no internet, no mini-bar in the room, and no formalities or stuffiness. Now you're beginning to get... more

Anyway we decided to push the boat out and booked the top suite the 'Manmire' its a seperate cottage 1 minute from the main house and is right next to the hot tub. Our room was lovely better than... more

The Samling is a fantastically located boutique hotel between Windermere and Ambleside, on it's own private estate, with a view of Lake Windermere. We went there for a short weekend stay, to get away from London, and it was truly phenomenal. The most important thing for us that sets it apart from every place we've ever been to is that... more

This hotel shies away from the spotlight, instead preferring to quietly deliver an experience unlike any other. So, given that it's not about to shout from the rooftops any time soon, I'll do it for it.... There are many startling things about this hotel - its location (tucked away high up on the hills above lake Windermere), its looks (rooms... more
