Wellness: Private hot tub with stunning views

“The Samling Hotel impresses with its bespoke experiences and exclusive Chef's Table, although past diners suggest the dining room itself can feel soulless. With 67 acres of Lake District landscape, the focus here is clearly on tailored luxury and privacy, extending to private outdoor hot tubs and an AA-recognized wine list; a discerning choice for those prioritizing intimacy and curated experiences. I think it might be best for special occasion stays.”
