The Restaurant
The Samling Restaurant offers a refined dining experience within the luxurious Samling Hotel, set against the stunning backdrop of the Lake District. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining room provide spectacular views of Lake Windermere and the surrounding fells.

The Samling was awarded a Michelin star in 2023, a testament to the kitchen's technical mastery and careful balance of flavors. The warm and elegant ambiance complements the culinary excellence, making it a destination for special occasions.
