This old manor house sits high over Lake Windermere with gorgeous views, beautiful gardens and warm inviting public spaces. Our room was very large and extremely comfortable. The bath room was remodeled to the latest style. If I wanted to pick at something, it would be the too small and tight shower (although with great shower head, adjustable height, good water flow and a hand held option that every hotel should have. Our room was a bit too hot at night as all the rooms are heated at night together with no individual thermostats. There was a fan in the room and we were able to open the windows and cool the room down. The food is another story (and a better one!). It is simply outstanding across the board. The chef, his kitchen staff and the servers are very talented and professional. The breakfast pastries, fruits, cereals and fresh squeezed juices were all terrific. The full English breakfast was the best I've enjoyed anywhere. Our dinners were top shelf. We even had a light snack for dinner after a tiring day and the salads, chips and deserts were as good as the food in the formal dining room! We had an amazing stay and strongly recommend the Linthwaite to anyone visiting the Lake District

Rooms are spacious - I was in a twin room which had a decent sized bathroom. Shower was over the bath but separate controls - no messing about with the taps which was great. Plenty of wardrobe space, good sized room with chair and tables (plus tea and coffee) and little balcony, accessible from patio doors. Not really used in October, but it would be handy on a summer's night. As part of the wedding, we ate in Room One-o-One, the hotel's upmarket restaurant. The food was excellent, with a crab and lobster starter, guinea fowl main and panacotta pud. All dishes were cooked to perfection and packed full of flavour - surprising for a hotel restaurant as often dishes can be a bit 'meh' and over priced. The service from staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast is in the main dining room - a huge selection of cereals, continential breakfast items and a full English you can help yourself to. I was pleased to find they offered gluten free bread toasted :) I was booked into the Burnside as part of the wedding but I'm currently investigating it for a return visit as I would like to explore Bowness and the Lakes further. I did notice that some people were registered as having KGB deals for £49.50 for a room and breakfast so that would be a great option. There are lovely grounds too - looking out over the Lakes and there is also a leisure centre. Sadly I did not have the chance to try the pool and the jacuzzi but other guests used the facilities so worth taking swimming gear with you. I would return to the Burnside again - lovely hotel in a great location with nice friendly staff making it a great place to spend a few days.

If you are really wanting to unwind you can find a sauna and pool which were wonderfully quiet when we visited. The food at Hillthwaite house is of a really high quality - probably one of the best meals I have ever eaten out in fact and this is topped by the stunning views of Windermere and the Lake from the restaurant. On the doorstep are Windermere and Bowness with their quaint shopping streets and views of Cumbria.

Our rooms, which were on the 2nd floor, were immaculate and very comfortable. The breakfast, with the wonderful Cumberland sausages, was very tasty and filling. My only complaint was that if your room is on the top floor, there is no lift, and you have to carry your luggage up 2 flights of stairs. Were were traveling over a 3-week period, so ours was heavy and bulky, making it difficult to get our things to our rooms. And there was no one to help with this. I would stay here again, but definitely request a room on the first floor.

The Glenburn hotel in Cumbria and the one in Darjeeling , India are awesome. The tranquil serenity…read moreand surroundings combined with old world charm and hospitality are a hallmark with these two hotels. They work it to uncommon levels not found in most others and that sets them apart uniquely. It is like how specialized in certain areas of hospitality the game reserve/wildlife park resorts/inns/bed and breakfast places are. There are also a variety of treetop hotels around the world that have their own charm as do the beach resorts/bungalows and such at various locations. The one thing that these two Glenburn hotels don't share in common is the English countryside on the one hand and the Himalayan Mountain Range (Mt.Everest) piercing the skies on the other. Fog is common at both, which I always like for one reason or another. Both must visit/experience special destinations, without question. One of my fave Uncles, a really jovial and witty guy was director of the Darjeeling Zoological/wildlife Park, back in the day. He was,among other things known for a project he developed and saw to fruition. Saving the rare Blood Pheasant. He decided Glenburn was ideal for them to propagate, and so it was as well, as it turned out happily. So there is another tidbit to have for over the 'Cuppa' or 'Hocuppa' tea as they call it in some parts of England. Conversation/Chit-Chat and so on, you know. Yes indeed,all that great stuff that's more and more hard to come by these days and when it does, it's all the more special and is stuff that dreams are made of.
