Our review

Langdale Chase reopened after a careful restoration and the result is one of Windermere's most romantic addresses. The drawing rooms and gardens run down to the water, and the best bedrooms frame the lake like a painting.

The AA Rosette kitchen gives you a reason to stay in, though Ambleside is minutes away.
