Looking for the ultimate Beatrix Potter themed overnight stay? Look no further than the world’s only hotel ever owned by the Peter Rabbit’s creator. Built in 1879, Lindeth Howe was owned by Beatrix Potter for almost 20 years in the early 20th century and still captures the spirit of her love of nature and the Lake District landscape. Beatrix Potter lived at Hill Top in Near Sawrey close to Hawkshead and was a pioneer for conservation and tourism in the Lake District. Upon her death, Beatrix left her 15 farms and more than 4000 acres of land to the National Trust. To this day you can visit Hill Top and see the former home of the famous author. When we get a visit from an A-list celebrity it is very exciting and means we can share on an even wider platform what a fantastic and unique experience we offer – and based on how much Ewan McGregor enjoyed his visit – dancing and singing his way out of the show – we’re sure lots of his fans will want to visit too."For a family day out, pay a visit to The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction in Bowness and explore Peter Rabbit’s Garden.
