Langdale Chase Hotel

The place

A Victorian country house on the shores of Lake Windermere, in the Lake District. Tranquil surroundings; the lake in view from morning on.

The 30 rooms and suites are individually designed. Elegant vintage-inspired furnishings, a marble bathroom, modern amenities, and views over the garden or the water itself.

The grounds hold manicured gardens, a small private beach, and a cinema. From the hotel's own jetty, a sail on the lake. In the highly acclaimed Dining Room, chef Michael Cole turns prime local ingredients into modern British cooking; the bar and lounges carry bites and drinks through the day.
