I LOVE this hotel. A perfect venue for a special treat I highly recommend afternoon tea.

A few hundred feet above one of the most beautiful lakes in Britain beckons a small gem of a hotel. It’s called The Samling.

Set in its own sixty-seven acre estate, it’s like no other place you’ve stayed. This is a luxury hotel in the country and, emphatically, not a country house hotel. Instead, you’ll discover deep comfort, the fruits of a thoughtful kitchen and service so good you hardly notice it. http://www.thesamlinghotel.co.uk/
