Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Linthwaite House is often described as a gem, offering breathtaking views of Windermere and beautiful, well-maintained grounds that some guests liken to an open-air sculpture park. Many appreciate the spacious suites and high-quality furnishings, especially noting the stunning bathrooms and comfortable beds. While afternoon tea in the conservatory is generally well-received, some guests have felt that the sandwiches could be fresher and the sweets not quite as impressive as they look.
