Our beautiful 32 bedroom hotel sits on a gently sloping hillside above Lake Windermere, one of the UK's most stunning spots in a UNESCO world heritage site. It is as gorgeous inside as out. Period details that deserve a place in a building with such a great history as ours, blend seamlessly with the stunning new contemporary design of our lounges and bars. Think of it as the set for your big day - in which you are the star.

Lindeth Howe was built as a summer holiday home for a wealthy mill owner in 1879 and was situated in a 28-acre estate. The mill owner rented the house out to friends for holidays amongst them were the Potter family.

From 1902 to 1930, Beatrix Potter published her famous children’s stories and for two of these stories, Timmy Tiptoes and Pigling Bland, she illustrated them whilst staying at Lindeth Howe. We have copies of some correspondence from this period and have permission to use a copy of her handwriting when she inscribed Lindeth Howe as our logo.

In 1915, after the death of her father, Beatrix Potter bought Lindeth Howe for her mother, Helen Potter to live in.  Beatrix had fallen in love with the property during the times she had stayed and notified her mother when the sale was announced.  At this time Beatrix lived in Hill Top Farm in Near Sawrey. After the death of her mother, Beatrix sold the house to the Doxford family in 1933. The house was then owned by two other families the Postlethwaites and the Baxters, they sold it then in 1998, to us, and here we remain.
