The Samling Review
On its own sculpture-dotted 67 acres above Windermere, this place oozes exclusivity from every carefully fashioned corner. Today the hotel is favored by the rich and famous, but it avoids the snobbishness sometimes found in such establishments. Rooms are elegantly traditional though not fussy, and have pretty wallpapers, muted colors, fireplaces, slate-floor bathrooms, and roll-top baths. Service is a good mix of professional and friendly, and the lake views are fantastic. The well-regarded restaurant (£55 fixed-price dinner menu) specializes in creative local fare; it's open to nonguests for dinner, afternoon tea, and Sunday lunch (call ahead).
