The Samling Hotel Windermere Reviews from The Last Year
Sampling experience
We visited the hotel for the weekend and was without doubt a really lovely experience. The setting for the hotel is very centrally situated with great views of the lake, our room had everything that you needed in it and was beautiful and clean. We dined in the restaurant all weekend with the food and wine being top quality but nothing stood out as much as the staff their, they had a wonderful way of making us feel at home with their relaxed approach. We’re definitely going back it’s a great hotel
Perfection!
I’m not one to write a review, but this stay was absolute perfection from start to finish. From the moment we walked through the door the staff attended to our every need. They are so friendly, helpful and down to earth. The hotel decor is exceptional, the attention to detail is beautiful. We were delighted when told that we had been upgraded to a luxury room overlooking the Lake. The room was huge with a beautiful sitting area, dressing area and a stunning marble bathroom, the mini bar was well stocked and the Nespresso coffee machine was excellent. The bed is one of the best I have ever slept in, so comfortable. We booked the private hot tub over looking Lake Windermere, robes and flip flops are provided in your room for this. The experience was fantastic, we enjoyed a bottle of sparkling wine whilst watching the sunset. There was a buzzer to ring for more drinks/requests, this was a nice touch and meant that they didn’t have to check if you needed more drinks all the time. Before dinner we sat in the lounge, the staff were incredible and talked us through all of the different cocktails, even bringing us the quirkiest bottles and glassware to show us from behind the bar. I would 100% recommend trying the Dodo cocktail, the presentation and taste is fantastic! We enjoyed the 7 course tasting menu, each course was incredible but I especially loved the ‘Samling House’ surprise at the end of the meal, such a lovely touch. After dinner we had drinks in the bar, the bartender was amazing, we had a great laugh with her and felt very comfortable. A lot of hotels at this level can feel very stuffy, but The Samling is the opposite and we were made to feel welcome and comfortable. The Samling definitely feels very exclusive and we cannot wait to return very soon.
A perfect couples retreat
I was very lucky to return to The Samling this weekend after over 20 years and it was just as lovely as I had remembered. The staff really make this place special, nothing was too much trouble. The vegetarian tasting menu was fantastic and the setting and ambiance perfect for couples. I’d recommend booking the hot tub with champagne (even in the rain!). It would have been nice to have more storage space we stayed 4 nights) and I would have preferred a log fire over a television (on the chimney breast) but these are small points that didn’t take away from the great overall experience.
The Samling Hotel Review - Amazing experience.
This is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. The service is outstanding and the food tastes unbelievable. Try the tasting menu - it’s amazing, and book the private hot tub - the views are incredible. The staff are very attentive when needed but you are also left alone to enjoy the privacy and calmness The Samling has to offer. 5 out 5 on every level!
A Disheartening Experience at The Samling
"A Disheartening Experience at The Samling" My recent experience at The Samling Hotel was not only disappointing but profoundly unsettling. My family and I were eagerly looking forward to our stay, only to be turned away upon arrival because we had our 20-month-old baby with us. This exclusion was unexpected and not communicated during the booking process—neither over the phone nor on their website or any affiliated booking platforms. The manner in which we were informed about this policy was both shocking and humiliating. A staff member approached us during check-in to question the presence of our baby in a manner that lacked both professionalism and empathy. This was compounded by a suggestion that we should consider leaving our children at home in the future, a comment that was as surprising as it was inappropriate. What was meant to be a romantic getaway quickly turned into a distressing ordeal, leaving us to scramble for alternative accommodation. This incident not only disrupted our plans but also cast a shadow over what was intended to be a relaxing weekend retreat. The lack of transparency and the abruptness of the staff's approach were not in line with the hospitality one would expect from a hotel of such repute. This experience has prompted me to question the hotel's adherence to principles of inclusivity and fairness, as outlined in the Equality Act 2010. The absence of clear communication about such a significant policy and the manner in which it was enforced upon our arrival was both disheartening and unacceptable. I cannot recommend The Samling to families or anyone who values clear communication and a welcoming atmosphere. This experience was a stark reminder that hospitality should be inclusive and accommodating to all guests, a standard that The Samling, unfortunately, did not meet during our visit.
What's keeping you?
Excellent hotel, amazing Michelin star food, very friendly, helpful staff, our suite was probably the best hotel room we've stayed in (2 floors, bedroom in a mezzanine, living room and huge bathroom down below. Can't recommend highly enough, I'll be back for the next big celebration
Wonderful place. Worth the extra ££
This place is beautiful and reminds me of great small boutique hotels in northern spain. The staff are amazing. Attentive and caring. Felt that the restaurant for the non tasting menu occasions was a little too quiet. The view were stunning but the main dining room felt soulless. Too industrial. Maybe needs some art or something to soften the harshness when table cloths dont exist. The bar and staff were fabulous. But for us the food for us was over salted.
Exceptional
The view is beautiful, the rooms superb and the food and wine world- class. Others are probably better qualified than I am to comment on the detail of those matters. What sets The Samling apart for me is that everything is done with a great generosity of spirit. And that is a rare quality.
Our new favourite hotel!!
I was lucky enough to be treated to a birthday stay earlier this month. What a treat indeed. Our room was fantastic (Grasmere). The views from our three windows were simply awesome despite the gloomy weather. The food and wine and breakfasts were super. Staff very friendly and hospitable. Absolutely a five star experience. Loved it.
Christmas getaway
My husband and I decided in June that we wanted to be away for Christmas so after searching for hotel packages we chose the Samling. We were able to pick a specific room from the category we decided on which was Thirlmere, one of the luxury doubles. An emperor size bed, a separate sitting area with L shaped sofa and TV on the wall and a large bathroom with double sink, bath and large walk-in shower. It was the perfect place to relax during a weekend of total indulgence. The package included a wine tasting on arrival on Christmas Eve, 3 course meal, lunch and dinner on Christmas Day and breakfast on Christmas and Boxing Days. We skipped breakfast on Christmas Day thinking of how much food there would be later and that was definitely the right choice. Wonderful food, beautiful flavours, fantastic bread baked on the premises and a huge wine menu with types and prices to suit everyone. If we lived nearer we would be regular visitors. The staff were lovely! Given they were working during the whole Christmas period and not with their families anyone could be forgiven if their hearts weren't really in it. Not so here. Everyone was a delight to talk to, so friendly, helpful and informative. If you're thinking of a Christmas away from home I would highly recommend The Samling.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
