A few hundred feet above one of the most beautiful lake in Britain beckons a small gem of a hotel. It's called The Samling. Set in it's own sixty seven acre estate it's like no other place you've ever stayed. This is a hotel in the country and emphatically not a country house hotel so there's none of that snooty nostalgic stuff. Instead you'll discover deep comfort the fruits of a thoughtful kitchen and service so good you'll hardly notice it. Breakfast at The Samling is generally agreed is preferable in bed and a many splendoured thing it is. There is no other hotel like it.
