"Perched on a slope surrounded by woodland with an extraordinary view of Windermere and the fells beyond, this country house was bought by the Leeu Collection in 2016 and reopened after a full renovation; it feels like a luxury cottage — the home of a cool aunt and uncle — with upholstered walls, bold prints, a velvet sofa, and a jolly yellow bedroom that begged us to dive under the duvets and order room service, while the hotel’s 14 acres of private gardens and lawn (where guests played croquet) and a pond with rowboats added to the homely, luxurious vibe." - Monisha Rajesh Monisha Rajesh Monisha Rajesh is a London-based travel journalist and author whose work has appeared in publications like Time and Vanity Fair.
