The Samling At Dovenest

About

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 hotel in the country and, emphatically, not a country house hotel. There?s none of that snooty nostalgic stuff. Instead, you?ll discover deep comfort, the fruits of a thoughtful kitchen and service so good you hardly notice it. Food here is light, full of good ideas and loved unreservedly by our guests.Our cellar gains new admirers with every visit too, fans of the grape have a treat in store. As do those with an eye for a view, Wordsworth paid his rent here, probably on time too, for this is one of Lakeland?s most unforgettable viewing points. Wandering the estate?s woodlands, fields and landscaped gardens may not turn you into a poet but it will make you feel very, very good.You can book The Samling like any other hotel, or you can have it all to yourself. These, then are the facts of The Samling. Everything else is strictly magical The Samling, which is licensed for civil marriage ceremonies, is an ideal place to get married. With ten suites, you can take over the whole place (accommodation for extra guests is available locally). And with sixty-seven acres of grounds, it has a privacy and seclusion that you, your family and guests can really relax in. No interruptions, no distractions, just your special day.Just as importantly, our staff are committed to making your day a success. They pay minute attention to detail and have the singular advantage of being nice people.You can have a marquee in the grounds if you wish, and although we can suggest menus, we can cater for virtually anything you want
