About The Samling
The Samling sits on the fellside above Windermere, looking south along the lake and west towards the Coniston fells. Its Georgian house and nearby Lakeland buildings provide a quiet setting for a stay focused on scenery, food and time together.
The 67-acre grounds include ornamental water gardens, meadows and woodland paths. Explore the estate, settle in with a drink or plan a day around the lake before returning for dinner.
Rooms, suites and cottages
The Samling has 12 individually designed bedrooms, suites and cottages, spread between the main house and neighbouring Lakeland stone buildings. Each takes its name from a Lake District location.
Classic rooms, luxury doubles, junior suites and suites offer different layouts and settings. Some accommodation looks towards the lake, while other rooms face gardens or woodland. Check the individual room description when booking, particularly if a particular view or access arrangement matters to your stay.

Dining with a Lake District view
Seasonal ingredients guide the restaurant’s menus, drawing on the hotel’s gardens and woodland alongside regional and British produce. Lake and mountain views make the setting part of the experience.
The hotel also offers wine tastings and a Chef’s Table for up to six guests, positioned opposite the kitchen. Arrange dining experiences in advance and discuss any dietary requirements directly with the restaurant team.
Before you book
Compare the exact room or suite, meal arrangements and cancellation terms for your chosen rate. Restaurant bookings and wine experiences should be arranged separately unless your package includes them.
For weddings, private dining or exclusive-use stays, ask the hotel about current arrangements. Confirm accessibility needs, children’s arrangements and pet policies before booking.
