Luxury Lake District B&B changes hands following Storrs Collection deal

The Storrs Collection, which owns Storrs Hall on the shores of Windermere in the Lake District, has added its portfolio with the acquisition of luxury B&B Lindeth Fell Country House, for an undisclosed sum.

Lindeth Fell stands in seven acres of its own private gardens – designed by renowned landscape architect and author Thomas Mawson – overlooking the lake on Lyth Valley Road in Windermere.

It was built in 1907 and retains much of its arts & crafts character, offering 14 chic bedrooms, many with beautiful lake views. It has been owned and run by the Kennedy family for almost 40 years and won a number of awards under their care.

The sale of the property was managed by the Hotel Agency team at commercial real estate firm Colliers.

Andrew Nicholson, general manager of Storrs Hall, said: “We’re proud to have added Lindeth Fell to The Storrs Collection and very much look forward to carrying forward the exceptional quality of the stewardship of the Kennedy family.

“There is a synergy between Lindeth Fell and Storrs Hall – both are very special places, each with a rich and interesting history, in a spectacular setting, providing a warm and nurturing guest experience.”

He added: “Lindeth Fell is the perfect addition to our portfolio and we can’t wait to work with the team there. We wish the Kennedy family a happy, well-deserved retirement.”

Storrs Hall is a country house hotel on the edge of Windermere, offering 28 bedrooms in its Main House, six luxurious Lakeside Suites and The Boathouse, an over water suite for two.
