London, Feb 2026: The Massey Partnership is delighted to be representing The Samling in the Lake District. A truly exceptional hotel, The Samling is set on the hillside above the eastern shores of Lake Windermere, offering guests expansive, uninterrupted views over the water and surrounding fells. This boutique property combines understated luxury, warm hospitality and world-class fine dining in one of England’s most inspiring landscapes.
Situated within 67 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, woodlands and wildflower meadows, The Samling provides a peaceful retreat from the everyday alongside access to the natural and cultural riches of the Lake District. Originally a private residence, The Samling became a luxury hotel in 2002 and was fully transformed in 2017 into the refined destination it is today. Each of its 12 individually designed bedrooms, suites and cottages is named after a Lake District location, with interiors that reflect the tranquil palette of the surrounding landscape.
At the heart of The Samling’s culinary experience is its Michelin-starred restaurant, led by Executive Head Chef Robby Jenks. Sitting within a striking glass-fronted dining room that frames sweeping lake views, the restaurant offers a meticulously crafted tasting menu rooted in seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, many drawn from the hotel’s own inspiring kitchen garden and greenhouse. The Samling’s restaurant was awarded a Michelin Star in 2023 and has retained this accolade since then
In addition to its Michelin Star, The Samling has been recognised by the Michelin Guide with Two Michelin Keys, one of the first UK hotels to receive this distinction. The Michelin Keys evaluate outstanding hotels on criteria including service quality, design, character and contribution to their setting, further affirming The Samling’s position among the UK’s best luxury retreats.
The hotel’s wine offering is equally distinguished, boasting one of the country’s most acclaimed wine lists with over 1,200 bottles, including an exceptional selection of English and international vintages.
Relaxing within The Samling’s welcoming interiors - from calming guest rooms to The Reverie Bar - named after a poem by Wordsworth fondly remembering a day's romantic dalliance in the gardens- guests enjoy genuine, authentic service. The hotel’s location makes it an ideal base for exploring the Lake District’s UNESCO World Heritage landscapes, whether planning cultural visits to Wordsworth’s Cottage or Hill Top, the home of Beatrix Potter, or simply taking in the natural beauty that surrounds every pathway.
