Frommer's Review
This is a country house in a scenic position above Lake Windermere, with 2.4 hectares (6 acres) of garden. Part stone and part red brick, with a roof of green Westmoreland slate, the house was built for a wealthy mill owner in 1879, but its most famous owner was Beatrix Potter, who installed her mother here while she lived across the lake at Sawrey. The present owner, Norman Stoller, has furnished it in fine style. Nine of the bedrooms have lake views and are comfortably furnished. Three rooms have handsome four-poster beds, and some rooms have spa bathrooms. Three rooms are large enough for families. Most rooms have tub/shower combinations in the bathrooms.
Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; indoor heated pool; health club; sauna; solarium; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility
