Why We Love This Deal
Lindeth Howe is a "blissfully private" (The Daily Telegraph) retreat, once owned by Beatrix Potter. The inviting Victorian house is also just 10 minutes' stroll from Lake Windermere. An overnight stay in the best-available room type—ranging from Standard Doubles to the Westmorland Suite—is £149. This includes dinner and saves 21–28%.
What's Included
- Valid Sunday–Thursday until 31 March, 2026. It's £10 more per night to stay in April and £20 more per night to stay on Fridays and Saturdays (payable direct to the hotel)
- An overnight stay for two people in best-available room type*, with full Cumbrian breakfast
- £30 per person dining credit to use toward dinner in the hotel's restaurant
- Members can purchase multiple vouchers to extend their stay, with the same inclusions on each night
- Not available on 3–6 April, 2026
More Reasons to Go
- Beatrix Potter used to holiday here. She finished her illustrations of Timmy Tiptoes and Pigling Bland during stays in 1911 and 1913. In 1915 she bought the house for her mother. Look out for the original photos that hang in reception.
- With three sitting rooms and a bar-lounge, "guests can always find a quiet corner" (The Daily Telegraph). The interior decor is lush and eye-catching. Expect deep-hued walls, multi-coloured velvet chairs, and carpets with vivid motifs of birds and butterflies.
- Bowness-on-Windermere is a 5-minute drive from the hotel. Depart on a lake cruise or visit The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction.
- There are lots of fascinating museums nearby. Blackwell Arts & Crafts House is five minutes' drive away. So too, the Windermere Jetty Museum. Drive past Windermere's southern tip for the Lakeland Motor Museum (15 minutes away). Or head 30 minutes' north for Wordsworth Grasmere and Dove Cottage, the home of Romantic poet William Wordsworth.
- Holehird Gardens is an award-winning RHS Partner Garden that's also featured on BBC Gardener's World. It’s less than 15 minutes' drive from the hotel. The 10-acre fellside garden is open year-round and has views over Lake Windermere.

What a wonderful break we have just had at Lindeth Howe, I cant praise it enough. Setting , room, food and staff all great. 10/10 . Will definitely go back. We are the blade of beef, superb and the sticky toffee pudding huge and delicious. Wine fairly priced and staff friendly efficient and attentive. Great location close to Bowness marina with lovely walk by lake into town. Loved it all from start to finish.

A lovely, inviting hotel. We were captivated from the second we walked in. . Warm and friendly staff, a lovely room and the hotel I had uch an interesting history; there was something to capture interest in every corner. We loved the decor which is unique The location is wonderful. We liove a country house hotel and this certainly ticked all the boxes. The room was lovely as were the lounges and bar. The dinner and breakfast were delicious - freshly prepared and flavoursome. We will return, we hope.
