"Perched on a hilltop overlooking Windermere, the beauty and tranquillity of Linthwaite House enveloped us totally. Inside, a log fire blazed and the view was so captivating it held us in its spell until darkness descended on this perfect hideaway... What a retreat and what comfort... Its all you dream of in a country hotel but rarely find... The food was as spectacular as the view, with dinner a highlight of the day." Sunderland Echo, Tuesday 27th November 2001.
