welcomeWe welcome you to Lindeth Howe, a property once owned by Beatrix Potter. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind or explore the numerous attractions the Lake District has to offer.

Our hotel boasts beautiful bedrooms, cosy lounges, log fires, a well stocked bar, a 2 AA Rosette awarded restaurant with a delicious seasonal menu to suit all tastes, and an ‘in-house’ leisure facility with a holistic treatment area just for that extra bit of luxury.

However, what is most important to the team here at Lindeth Howe is that your stay is an enjoyable and memorable one. We hope you like the brochure and look forward to welcoming you soon.

Kind regards,

STEPHEN BROUGHTONManaging Director Lindeth Howe in 1911.

the settingLindeth Howe enjoys a peaceful location, just a mile south of the lakeshore village of Bowness-on-Windermere.

With stunning views over Lake Windermere and to the fells beyond, our guests are able to relax on a delightful sun terrace in 6 acres of Lakeland gardens. At the front of the hotel admire our zebra finches in their aviary, a feature that existed when Beatrix Potter’s mother lived in the house.

Such a magnificent setting with such breathtaking views means Lindeth Howe is the perfect place for any occasion.

the loungesOur cosy lounges, the Sitting room and Bar Lounge, overlook the gardens offering you a perfect place to sit and enjoy the afternoon with tea and scones.

Or, as the evening descends, retire to enjoy your favourite tipple in front of our roaring fire, whether it is a glass of local beer or a flute of fine champagne. The Beatrix Potter library provides the opportunity to browse through many books, guides and leaflets on the area as well as information about Beatrix Potter herself.

Beatrix Potterconnections

The Potters rented Lindeth Howe as a holiday property on a number of occasions. Whilst staying here in 1911 & 1913 Beatrix Potter finished her illustrations of Timmy Tiptoes and Pigling Bland. Following the death of her father, Rupert Potter, Beatrix acquired Lindeth Howe in 1915 for her mother who loved the house. Beatrix herself lived across the Lake on a farm in Near Sawrey. Rupert Potter was an amateur photographer and we are lucky enough to be able to display a number of his photographs of the house and gardens taken during their stays at the hotel.

At Lindeth Howe we’re helping to care for and preserve this living landscape by working closely with the Tourism and Conservation Partnership.

The Partnership raises funds from visitors and tourism businesses to maintain and enhance the

Lake District.

Our business is guided by the need to operate in a responsible fashion and we encourage our guests to

support our activities in conservation through an ‘opt out’ contribution scheme.
