A connoisseur’s hotel with sensational views of over Windermere
Nestling above the shores of Windermere, overlooking the lake and surrounding fells as voted as having one of the top 15 views in the world, Holbeck Ghyll is the ultimate luxury lake-view retreat. Once a former hunting lodge of the fabulously wealthy fifth Earl of Lonsdale, the lounges and restaurant feature beautiful wood panelling, open fires and stained glass windows with a style reminiscent of Rennie Mackintosh – a truly wonderful example of traditional English architecture, perfectly complimented by the hotel’s stunning location.
With country-house style guestrooms offering breath-taking views and suites featuring outdoor hot-tubs or balconies, the Holbeck Ghyll hotel is the perfect choice for romantic retreats or special celebrations. Whether you choose to sink into an armchair by the inglenook fireplace with the morning’s newspaper or rest your fell-weary limbs in one of the sumptuous lounges overlooking the Lake District in all its glory, you’ll find the perfect spot to recharge your batteries.
The hotel is very well known for its fabulous restaurant where you can experience fine dining accompanied by wines from one of the best wine cellars in the country as well as spectacular views. The menus, created by our talented head chef, offer inventive and beautifully presented dishes that showcase the freshest produce and flavours from the local area.
The hotel also features a boutique health spa, offering visitors and guests a variety of luxury treatments, from anti-aging facials to leg massage for fell walkers. Residents of the hotel can also enjoy complimentary access to the thermal areas including the steam, sauna and outdoor lake-view hot tub.
