"Alles wie beschrieben. "

"We were thrilled with our choice of Hillthwaite. It has a central location near to both Windermere and Bowness yet high enough on a hill to have views of Lake Windermere from rooms and public spaces. The hotel is beautifully organized with several public lounges: sun room, library, bar/lounge and restaurant–all of which feature Lake views, as well as outdoor terraces.

"Located in the beautiful nature area. Good breakfast. "

"Stayed 2 nights on our recent visit. B&B is beautiful. Rooms clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was delicious with nice variety.

Would recommend."

"Tenuta il Cigno was an absolute haven. A beautiful property with cozy rooms and a very comfortable bed, with the quiet bustle of farm work and of horses in their paddocks. I was amazed by Stefano and his team's attentiveness and kindness and I hope to spend many more afternoons lounging by the pool and riding near the river."

"The location is really pretty and peaceful. The old stone building is so charming and the staff is really friendly and helpful. I wish I could have stayed longer..."

"Stunning Tuscan views, beautifully updated historic propert, warm, friendly and marvelously competent staff, delicious food and wine…this place is a marvel. We enjoyed three days in autumn. The countryside was beautiful and the days were sunny with ideal temperatures. They have a gorgeous swimming pool which should make it even better during summer, though I can’t complain because the off season prices we got were a steal. Words cannot describe how wonderful this place is."

"Excellent experience all round, booking in simple, rooms very clean, food good, fresh and filling. Drinks very cheap in comprison to where we live in south east. Would stay again, no issues at all"

"Great place to stopover (we had a long trip from southern England to northern Scotland). Very dog friendly with beautiful parks for the dogs to run. It just feels like you’re staying in a stately home."
