Samling

Lake District, United Kingdom

Style A very English retreat

Setting Lakeside wilderness

Nestled in soft undulating hills and perfect woods rolling down to Lake Windermere is the Samling. You couldn’t ask for a more ideal location – right on the water, but still secluded. The beauty of the woodland location is that you can step outside your room and start walking – we soon found ourselves in forest as lush and dense as a Malaysian jungle.

Our favourite rooms

We liked the Bothy. Also Manmire, a split-level room away from the main house, with spectacular views. Only one room doesn’t have a view of Lake Windermere.
