Stunning Views, Wonderful Staff and a Standout Wine List

A beautiful, unassuming and wonderfully charming hotel nestled above Lake Windermere. Ours was a very last-minute booking, but we were so pleased we decided to stay.
From the moment we arrived, the staff were fantastic. A particular mention must go to Andrew on reception, who was incredibly accommodating in helping to arrange our helicopter landing and gave us such a warm welcome on arrival.
Rebecca was another real highlight. Her depth of knowledge and passion for wine was brilliant, and if you are a wine lover, The Samling is absolutely worth visiting for this alone. The wine list is genuinely memorable; the sort of selection and depth you don’t often find outside of some of London’s best hotels and restaurants…and it is clear that the team are genuinely passionate about what they do.
The rooms are good value and the dining is very good, but for us the real highlights were the breathtaking views across the Lake District, the charming and highly personable staff, and that exceptional wine offering.
The Samling manages to feel intimate, relaxed and special without ever being overly formal or pretentious. A wonderfully memorable stay and somewhere we would happily return to. Very much worth a visit.

Unforgettable 60th Birthday

We recently stayed at The Samling to celebrate my 60th birthday and it was a wonderful experience. We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather throughout our stay, which made the already stunning scenery and views over the lake even more breathtaking.
We stayed in a junior suite called Coniston which was very comfortable and beautifully appointed. During our stay we enjoyed a lovely walk into Ambleside and took a wonderful lake cruise, both of which are highly recommended if you want to take in the local area.
Our meals here were next level including breakfast but the highlight was the tasting menu. Every course was superb and the standout dish was the langoustine. To make my birthday feel even more special I was treated to a glass os 1966 vintage dessert wine. Matching my birth year was such a thoughtful touch and the wine itself was phenomenal.
What truly sets the Samling apart however is the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive and warm. It was the perfect special treat for my 60th birthday and we cannot wait to return.

Outstanding service

Stayed here last week on their 2 night deal which was excellent value. Absolutely lovely location, making use of a number of buildings. As all reviews will say, the restaurant has one of the best views you could wish for, food was delicious and service delightful. Vegetarian menu was so good my other half tried and enjoyed 2 things he would never normally pick. Our room was at the front of the the hotel and the views and outside space were picturesque. There were deer - and rabbits - in the extensive grounds, with walks up to Jenkins Crag behind the hotel.
There was a problem with a power failure in the area on one day and I can only say that the way the hotel handled it was exemplary. The Customer Service was outstanding.
Must mention the delightful reception staff Emma, Melissa and Andrew and we look forward to our return visit.

A very happy weekend at a beautiful hotel

What a beautiful hotel. My husband and I have had a fantastic weekend at The Samling. Our room was excellent (Buttermere) with dual aspect views of the lake. The food was exceptional and the staff were wonderful. I can’t speak highly enough of our whole experience at The Samling and we can’t wait to visit again.
