In ancient Cumbria, a samling meant a gathering of people (from the Saxon/German Sammlung), and for some years The Samling has provided a luxurious base for all kind of small gatherings - be they celebratory or business - for up to 20 people. In 2001, however, under new ownership, The Samling has been developed as a luxury hotel. Built in the late 1700s, The Samling sits in 67 acres of wild flowers, woodland, garden and fields with a commanding view of Lake Windermere. The Samling has a magical ambience, with few equals in the Lake District.
