Langdale Chase Hotel, Windermere

Advantages: swimming pool, good facilities
Disadvantages: the direction can be miss leading if not been

...The Beech Hill Hotel occupies a prime position of the eastern bank of Lake Windermere, in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Inspiring and dramatic, the constantly changing mood of the mountains is reflected in the water of Windermere, Britain's largest lake. Whatever the season, the vista is always beautiful to look at and the glorious countryside a joy to roam in, with plenty to see and do on land as well as on water. The Beech Hill hotel has 58 bedrooms, each individually decorated with all of the facilities expected in a 3 Star hotel - tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryers, direct dial phones and colour TV's as well as other thoughtful extras.

...in the North West of England, about 2 hours North of Manchester. Not surprisingly the Lake District takes its name from the fact it has many Lakes, these are there because it has the highest rainfall of any area in England. Windermere is the largest and most well known of the Lakes and the area is popular for watersports and hiking. The biggest and most touristy towns within the national park are Ambleside and Keswick, these are both lovely towns but become very crowded in the summer. Even at the height of summer however if you know the places you can find quiet, beautiful and secluded spots - i would suggest the Ennerdale and Eskdale are the best of these. So obviously if you are an outdoor lover than the Lake District is the place to be - there are approximately 100 mountains above 600m, enough to keep most people going for a while at least...

...We have stayed at Linthwaite House a few times. We have always been made welcome and they try and create an atmosphere of staying in a nice country house. The view from the terrace is fantastic! You look down on Windermere Lake and across the lake to the rising mountains. As you are so high up you seem to see for ever, the changing light, the lake, green of the trees, the clouds scudding across. Above the hotel they have 14 acres of land with a small tarn ferns and bushes. The perfect easy walk before or after a meal. The food is very good, well prepared, not huge helpings but well cooked using fresh local ingredients - they pride themselves on their food. Of course this is not a cheap budget hotel but if you want to push the boat out and celebrate a special birthday or anniversary then think of going to Linthwaite House... Read review
