Send a link to this page to your friends and colleagues.
Safety first: Remember to check with your healthcare team before starting any new exercise program.
Each person's blood glucose responds differently to activity. A key part of diabetes self-management is learning to adjust food and/or medications accordingly.
Insulin and insulin-stimulating medications (including glyburide, Glucotrol, Glucovance, Amaryl, Prandin, Starlix, etc.) lower blood glucose levels. Exercise also lowers blood glucose levels. Carbohydrate foods increase blood glucose levels.
If you manage your diabetes with diet and activity alone, you probably won't need a snack before or after exercise. However, if you are going on a day-long excursion, you might be hungrier than usual. Conversely, if you take insulin or an insulin-stimulating medication, if you are exercising in hot weather, or if your fitness level is low, you may need to eat foods with extra carbohydrates.
Test, Test, Test
Test your blood glucose before and after activity. When exercising for more than an hour, test each hour. Keeping good records of your activity and blood glucose will help you predict your body's response to activity in the future.
If your blood glucose level is below 100, eat a snack before starting exercise.
If your blood glucose is above 250 (fasting or pre-meal), don't exercise. Exercising when blood glucose is high can make it go even higher. Wait until the glucose level comes down. (If you have type 1 diabetes, check for ketones in your urine. You may need to ask your healthcare provider about taking more insulin.)
Preventing Hypoglycemia
Activity, too much insulin or too little food can all cause hypoglycemia. If your blood glucose gets low during exercise, stop and treat the low blood glucose. Dizziness, sweaty skin, shakiness, hunger or irritability are early warning signs.
Test your blood glucose. If it is less than 50 mg/dl, eat 20 grams of carbohydrate; if it is less than 70 mg/dl, eat 15 grams of carbohydrate. Test again in 15 minutes. If your glucose is still low, eat another 15 or 20 grams of carbohydrate and retest in 15 minutes.
Make sure you drink plenty of water before, during and after exercise. Dehydration can happen quickly in warm weather and can cause acute illness.
The Lasting Effects of Exercise
The blood glucose-lowering effects of exercise can continue for hours after you've stopped exercising. Test your blood glucose each hour after exercise for the first two to three hours. You may need to add a snack or reduce insulin or medication if your blood glucose levels are too low.
Over time, exercise can improve insulin resistance and result in lower blood glucose. Consult your physician about using less medication if you notice this trend.
Enjoy the opportunities the warm weather offers for outdoor fun and exercise. Remember, each person's response to physical activity is different. Try different activities and food combinations, and keep good records to learn how to best manage your blood glucose as you engage in your favorite summertime activities.
Q: How can I be safe when exercising?

The Canadian Bankers Association announced Tuesday it will pay up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects responsible for a number of recent bank robberies including one in Oakville.
The Oakville robbery happened Tuesday, Aug. 7, when two masked men approached bank employees as they were unlocking the front doors of the Toronto Dominion/Canada Trust Bank, at 1424 Upper Middle Rd.
Police said the two armed suspects forced the employees into the bank vault then filled a duffle bag with cash and fled on foot.
Police believe the same individuals are responsible for similar robberies, which took place in Peel on Sept. 12, 2011, Hamilton on Oct. 16 and Waterloo on Nov. 1.
"To assist with this investigation and demonstrate the seriousness of these crimes, the Canadian Bankers Association and the banking industry in Canada are announcing a reward of up to $100,000 for any public information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individuals responsible for these four violent bank robberies," said Malcolm Chivers, Manager of Fraud and Security at the Canadian Bankers Association.
"Bank robberies are a serious issue facing the banking industry, but they are first and foremost a personal crime, not an economic crime. Our industry's priority is ensuring bank customers feel comfortable and secure conducting their business in a branch and that the bank staff in those branches have a safe work environment."
A YouTube video featuring video surveillance of the suspects can be viewed at www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrvNFQ41mS8&feature=youtu.be.
Anyone with information related to these incidents is asked to contact the Halton Regional Police Service tip line at 905-825-4747, ext. 2204 or e-mail email@example.com and an investigator will respond.
Those wishing to provide information anonymously can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), however, anonymous information is not eligible for the $100,000 reward.

Prostate CancerProstate cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the prostate. Treatment options and prognosis depend on the stage of the cancer, the Gleason score, and the patient's age and general health. The best prognosis is early detection.
Prostate cancer is the 2nd leading cancer-caused death among men. It's important to establish a baseline PSA at age 40, which can help doctors detect a change in the future.
Prostatectomyda Vinci Prostatectomy is the #1 choice for treatment of localized prostate cancer in the United States, and is rapidly being chosen by more men, as well as their doctors, worldwide. da Vinci Prostatectomy is a minimally invasive, robotic-assisted surgical procedure that removes the cancerous prostate gland and related structures.The goals of surgery are to remove the cancer, preserve urinary function, and preserve erectile function. Radical prostatectomy can be done using traditional open surgery, traditional laparoscopy, or da Vinci robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.The da Vinci prostatectomy has several potential benefits:

Going Against the Grain… of Rice — Not Your Average Oregon Wine Dinner
6 comments:
I need to explore more with Sake. The food looked like it was a slice of heaven in a cotton candy blanky.ReplyDelete
If you really want to taste the good stuff: SakefestPDX!! The Momokawa stuff is OK, I like to cook with the Diamond (especially poaching salmon in it) and it is OK to drink, but the sake Momokawa imports is better than what they make here. And the junmai daiginjo sakes are even better! (Though I like an occasional nama or migori, too.) My biggest problem with sake is that it goes down easier than wine or spirits, and before I know it, I can drink too much of it! ;o)ReplyDelete
Yes my Nubian friend, you must explore more Saké. Perhaps something we can do together? :)ReplyDelete
Jill-O-Rama - thank you for your comment. One of my go to sake's is Yuki No Bosha's Cabin in the Snow. I could drink bottles of that stuff, I guess we have something in common. I really do hope to make it to SakeFestPdx this year. After reading your post about last year's event here: http://portlandfood.org/topic/11052-sake-fest-pdx/page__p__137901#entry137901 I really don't think I have any choice!!
Tamara, wonderful write up. Thank you for encouraging readers to explore sake with the amazing array of foods we have available. Its not just for sushi anymore. It does appear its time for some to re explore Momokawa. See you at Andina we hope.ReplyDelete
I love Cabin in the Snow (it is genshu/jokusei = undiluted/aged) and also like Watari Bune Junmai Ginjo 55...they are easy to find around town. My revelation at SakefestPDX last year was Chokaisan junmai daiginjo...OMFG, is that stuff nice!ReplyDelete
Dewey, thank you for your commet!! I'm hoping to make it the Andina dinner… Saké paired with Peruvian food sounds like something I could really sink my teeth into.ReplyDelete
Jill-O, I'll have to keep my eyes open for the Watari Bune and hope to taste the Chokaisan at SakeFestPdx!! Thanks for the great suggestions. As Dewey suggested, perhaps it's time to revisit the Momokawa. I particularly enjoyed the Nama Ginju, I wonder how widely available it is.

- critical information on how to be safe during different hazardous events
- real-time information about opened shelters for evacuees (including addresses, capacity, directions and if the shelter is pet-friendly)
- real-time updates on flood levels of major nearby creeks and rivers

- contact numbers and links to websites for those who need help recovering from a disaster
- direct links to the ReadyNC.org and NCDPS.gov websites and social media accounts
We never know when the next storm will threaten, but we do know that those who are prepared before will fare better. Use this app to get your family ready.
Be safe,

Pope Makes Debut In Starting 5 With New Team
DAHLONEGA, GA – Former North Georgia great
Nick Pope continues to climb the ranks in Europe, opening the
season in the starting five of one of the best teams in all of
France as preseason games are in full swing.
Making the transition to one of the highest levels in all of Europe, playing for Gravelines-Dunkerque in France and going up against the likes of former top 40 picks in the NBA draft and Atlanta Coast Conference stars David Noel of North Carolina and Julius Hodge of NC State, Pope found himself in the starting lineup in the first two games of the year, leading his team to a 2-0 preseason record.
In the first game of preseason play, Pope scored nine points in a nine-point victory, defeating LePortel 87-68.
Last night against the Belgium team, Mon Hainaut, Pope logged 22 minutes, going 3-9 from the field and 1-3 from behind the arc for seven points. He pulled down a pair of rebounds and tallied one assist and two steals in a 91-75 victory.
Pope and Gravelines-Dunkerque return to action on Saturday evening, taking on Alost, another Belgium squad.

Obesity: Children and Fast Food
SuperSize Me became a smash hit at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival by exposing fast-food mania in America. The producer decided to make himself a guinea pig and run an experiment, which he filmed. Under the supervision of three doctors, he started eating only items on the McDonald's menu, three times a day, every day for an entire month; and if an employee asked him to "supersize" anything, he did. In only thirty days his blood pressure and cholesterol level skyrocketed; he suffered liver damage; came down with headaches and depression; gained twenty pounds; reportedly lost his libido; and felt chest pains.
Unfortunately this damage is repeated in a stunning percentage of our children--and the consequences will be no less devastating. Almost one-third of American kids aged four to nineteen will eat today at a fast-food place, a fivefold increase since 1970. On average they will eat 187 more calories per day than those who refrain from fast food, and they will ingest more fats, sugars, and carbohydrates. As a result, they will pack on about an extra six pounds per year, according to one study. Some researchers contend that eating fast foods can become addictive. "New and potentially explosive findings on the biological effects of fast food suggest that eating yourself into obesity isn't simply down to a lack of self-control," said one scientist. As body fat increases, people appear to become increasingly insensitive to hormones that help to control their eating. The more fast food you eat, the less you may feel like you're eating.
On average we eat almost three hundred calories more per day and burn about three hundred calories less a day than we did twenty years ago. And where do those six hundred extra calories go? Our bodies store them as fat. When you consider that an additional one hundred calories a day can mean an extra ten pounds a year, it's not hard to see how our kids can so easily gain an unhealthful thirty pounds or more! A 2003 report in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed how the obesity epidemic has coincided with a marked increase in food portion sizes, particularly in fast-food restaurants. These days a single fast-food meal can amount to an entire day's caloric intake for an adult--and for children that same meal could translate to two days' worth of calories.
Consider this:
The serving size of an average soft drink increased from 13 ounces (144 calories) in 1977 to almost 20 ounces (with fifteen teaspoons of sugar and 250 calories) in 1998.
Cheeseburgers grew from 5.8 ounces (397 calories) in 1977 to 7.3 ounces (533 calories) in 1998.
Go back a little further in time, and you'll see an ever greater size disparity. In 1900, the average Hershey bar came in a 2-ounce package (297 calories); by 2004 it had grown to 7 ounces (1,000 calories). In the 1950s moviegoers could buy about a 3-cup serving of popcorn (174 calories); by 2004 they were gobbling a 21-cup heavily buttered serving (1,700 calories). In 1955 patrons got a 2.4-ounce serving of McDonald's fries (210 calories); in 2004 this had jumped to 7 ounces (610 calories).
It ought to shock us to see just how big portion sizes have grown. Is it any wonder our kids are getting bigger?

The Lake District is rightly famed for its unparalleled views and romantic landscape making it one of the most beautiful places to visit in England. Here are just a few comments from articles that have been written in the press about Linthwaite Country House Hotel
Urban Coco Magazine, July 2013
"Arriving at the hotel on the hottest Friday afternoon of the year so far, we ascended the private drive and were greeted by the handsome house hotel, which proudly stands in front of a captivating lake view and rolling hills. As we walked through the well groomed private gardens, I knew immediately that this was one of the best locations for a luxury break.
We were welcomed by friendly staff, who showed us up to the room and gave us a mini tour of everything that the hotel had to offer. Our room was light and airy with a very comfortable bed and all the mod-cons - including (to my delight) free wi-fi and, in the bathroom, a line-up of Molton Brown products.
For me, it was in the finer details that I truly knew that this was a luxurious stay: on your first steps into the hotel's entrance, guests are greeted by a selection of brightly coloutes Hunter wellington boots - in every size you can imagine for guests to borrow! And if you're looking for a relaxing evening, guests are invited to rent out DVDs from reception for free. For a small price you can pair this with a movie goodie bag: popcorn, ice cream, nuts, crisps, soft drinks and a chocolate bar - if you're feeling really luxurious, you can add a half bottle of champagne!
We gathered on the terrace in the beautiful sunshine to enjoy canapes and wine and the opportunity to chat with the hotel manager and friendly staff. We were then escorted to the hotel restaurant to start a four course treat. We began our meal with warmed bread rolls and the chef's coice of amuse-bouche - a tomato foam served in a white china cup, which was different but extremely flavoursome.
To avoid any 'food envy' moments, my guest and I chose the same starter of dressed crab with a cucumber and mint sauce that's poured on arrival. For the main course we opted for roasted Herdwick lamb with pomme Anna, wild garlic and broccoli puree, pairing our courses with a truly aromatic white wine. To end this incredible feast we samples the raspberry souffle (which takes about half an hour to cook - but well worth the wait). This was my favourite course as it was accompanied by a delicious champagne jelly and clotted cream ice cream. Feeling more than satisfied, we wandered into the hotel conservatory with the remains of our wine to watch the sun descend behind the beautiful rolling hills and watch the moonlight glisten on Lake Windermere."

Manchester Evening News, June 2013
"It was just what 'her indoors' really needed after a week from hell at work – a peaceful oasis of calm and luxury in which to unwind and forget the troubles back at home.
Linthwaite House is a stunning period property (circa 1900) – built in a breathtaking location overlooking Lake Windermere – which has been turned into a beautiful boutique country house hotel.
Set in 14 acres of wooded hilltop, some 400ft above one of England's most famous beauty spots, the hotel is a five-minute car ride – or a very pleasant 20 minute stroll – away from the lake and the picture postcard, if somewhat touristy, village of Bowness.
The big patio area at the front of the house is a fabulous spot to sit and take in that view while the super-attentive staff bring G&Ts (well in my case best Lakeland bitter) and we were fortunate enough to have also bagged a room with the same knock-out vista.
Linthwaite – which also boasts its own tarn, lake, putting green and croquet lawn – must employ an army of gardeners because as far as the eye could see there were manicured lawns, immaculate flower beds and perfectly pruned borders of bushes and shrubs.
And a stroll around the grounds revealed a summer house and strategically-located seating areas where the superb views could be properly appreciated at leisure.
The interior of Linthwaite is described in their brochure as 'Raffles meets Ralph Lauren with a contemporary twist'.
A major refurbishment in 2009 saw a new kitchen, four extra bedrooms and a state-of-the-art loft suite added taking the total number of rooms to 30 in what is surely one of the Lake District's finest hotels.
All the 'public' rooms are tastefully decorated, comfortable and welcoming and our bedroom matched that great view with a huge walk-in shower, oversized beds and a cosy yet upmarket feel.
But the best was yet to come. The restaurant turns out to be Michelin-listed and serves 'modern British' food in a nouvelle cuisine style under the stewardship of a new generation of talented young chefs.
I enjoyed seared loin of tuna with avocado, pickled ginger and wild rice for a starter with braised pork cheek, smoked belly, apple and sweetcorn for main while her indoors tucked into terrine of smoked chicken and leek with an earl grey and prune purée followed by roasted duck breast, artichoke, apple and tarragon. All this was finished off with raspberry soufflé in champagne jelly with clotted cream and ice cream and a rum baba with sour cherry meringue, coconut crisp and cherry ice cream.
The restaurant has three dining rooms – one of which was originally the billiard room of the grand house – two of which can be used for private dining or weddings, and are open for breakfast lunch and dinner.
Linthwaite is the perfect setting for a romantic anniversary or honeymoon break, and is also a perfect base for a walking holiday to make the most of the stunning views and bracing walks to be had all over this beautiful region.
There are many more attractions when the weather is wet (or for the less energetic), from the Bowness World of Beatrix Potter attraction to lake cruises and various museums.
These include the steam boat museum at Bowness and the Lakeland Motor Museum at nearby Backbarrow, a must for all petrol heads. It contains a fantastic collection of historic and famous cars and the Campbell Bluebird Exhibition, with a number of the speed king hero's record-breaking cars and boats including the wrecked jet boat recovered from the bottom of Windermere in 2001 where it lay since the crash which killed Campbell in 1964 – which is now being lovingly restored.
And if you do get to venture outdoors the hotel has a nice touch – wellies, brollies and hats hanging at the front door to be borrowed – well this is the Lake District!"
Travelbite editor Sarah Gibbons
Travelbite editor Sarah Gibbons goes in search of the ideal 'stay-cation' in the Lake District and discovers another hotel 'hot spot' - Linthwaite House Hotel in Bowness-on-Windermere
"The first thing I noticed was the view, miles of undulating hills, pine forest and the glistening waters of Lake Windermere.
With the hotel's elevated position overlooking the lake and surrounding Lakeland fells, it was clear that the panoramic vistas would be one of the great perks of the hotel; a fact that was quickly confirmed when we saw the view from our room.
It was clear, however, that the hotel offered far more than a great view. On entering, past a line of colourful wellies but the door, a crackling fire, cosy but sophisticated furnishings and instantly friendly staff made my partner and I feel right at home.
Our 'preferred room', one of the hotel's 30 rooms and suites, was light and airy with a very comfortable king-sized bed and all the usual mod-cons including free wi-fi. I was especially pleased to see a large glass bottle of water in the fridge, which gets replenished daily - as the hotel's in-room pamphlets points out, this is much more Eco-friendly than supplying plastic bottles of water. This is one of Linthwaite's many initiatives in its quest to 'go green'.
Alongside a television and a reasonable variety of channels we also had a DVD player in our room. You can rent out DVD's from reception (for free) and they have a fantastic selection, split into genres. They also offer movie goodie bags; for £8 (for two people) you can get popcorn, ice creams, nuts, crisps, soft drinks and chocolate bars; and if you really want to splash out you can upgrade to a luxury goodie bag which includes a half bottle of champagne (£37). This proved to be a fantastic easy to relax in the evening and we were thrilled that the hotel offered this service after a long day's walking.
During our stay we enjoyed a superb meal at Linthwaite's restaurant, which is recommended by the Good Food Guide. The evening began with a drink (I opted for a G&T) and canapes in the conservatory whilst we perused the menu. It was a very enjoyable way to start the evening, gazing at the sun descending and reflecting in the rippling waters of Lake Windermere.
The candle-lit restaurant had a nice atmosphere; the tables were close but not close enough to hear your neighbour's conversation (always a good thing) and the general ambiance was relaxed and unstuffy.
We began our meal with warmed rolls and a pre-starter of delicious leek and potato soup, served in a white china cup. I followed with a starter of soft shell crab, both served and dressed with a light tempura, accompanied by lemongrass and mago which was very refreshing. I did, however, have slight food-envy of my partner's cured trout with avacado and wasabi mayonnaise (I had a small taste; the trout melted in my mouth. Delicious!). For the main course, I went for perfectly-cooked, pan-fried sea bream, globe artichokes, lemon puree and a tomato and coriander dressing which worked wonderfully with the delicate fish. For dessert, I went for something I had never tried before - a coffee panacotta - served with an orange puree, amaretto jelly and white coffee ice cream. I polished it off with ease.
By morning I was already looking forward to breakfast, especially seeing we were planning another day of hiking. The choice was extensive, from a selection of cereals, fruit and yogurt to a full menu of cooked options. Tempted by both the sweet and savoury, I decided to try one of each for the two mornings I was staying at the hotel. The first morning, the home-made rosti, caramelized onions, grilled mushrooms and soft-fried egg caught my eye. Served in a neat stack, if definitely set me up well for the day and I polished off every last morsel and still had room for toast. The next morning I opted for the pancakes with blueberry compote which was equally delicious.
Our stay at Linthwaite House hotel had certainly offered everything I was looking for in a Lake District 'stay-cation': a great location with wonderful views, delicious food and most of all personable and helpful staff. I will definitely be back."
The Sunday Telegraph, February 2013
"Another of the Lake District's landmark hotels, this whitewashed manor was built as a private residence in the early 1900's and still has the feel of a country house.
It's the epitome of country elegance: antique trunks and armchairs in the lounge, burnished wood and hunting prints in the dining room, views across the croquet lawn from the conservatory. Rooms feel more modern than the rest of the house: insist on one with a lake view, or splash out n one of the indulgent hot-tub suites."
Liverpool Echo, March 2013
"The wonders of Windermere are many. It boasts England's largest lake, the Beatrix Potter museum and the perfect balance between the modern amenities of a prominent rural town and the traditional architecture and old world quaintness you would expect from such a popular British holiday haven. And a few hidden gems too, one of which was our final destination – Linthwaite. As the centre of Windermere gradually makes way for the rural landscape, it's a matter of minutes before a tree-lined country road invitingly spirals upwards to this luxury hotel, which you just know is going to be accompanied by something special once the journey reaches its summit. And so it proves, when the walk to check in bypasses the front door and continues out onto the veranda. It's the hypnotic appeal of this part of the world. If you're fortunate enough to get a vantage point like this, giving you a ringside seat to Lake Windermere and the hills that linger majestically above it, then it must be savoured. It's your own personal balcony above the best this country has to offer. And it also makes you wonder how breathtaking it would be on a clear sunny day – but even the dull drizzle that hovered during our visit couldn't detract from the location's splendour, and that doesn't diminish once you step inside. So how is it best to describe Linthwaite's appeal? The website says "professional without being pretentious". General manager Andy Nicholson backs this ideal up by labelling it "unstuffiness". It might not be a word, but it captures Linthwaite's charm perfectly."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay again at Linthwaite. The room was lovely, very comfortable and very clean. The staff as always, were very welcoming, polite and helpful, Special reference to Rachael - who gave us a very warm welcome on arrival. Also, Sarah G.M who was most obliging, courteous and interacted well with guests. She was well informed regarding the choice of dishes on the dinner menu and advised what could be adapted to suit individual needs and requirements and taste - a rare thing in some hotels! The dishes were tasty and of a very high standard, compliments to the chef. All restaurant staff were lovely - very efficient and professional, and yet with personal touches. Thank you for a lovely stay at Linthwaite - we love your seasonal offers. The added bonus - we were able to complete the jigsaw!"
Lisa Ettridge, The Blackpool Gazette, February 2012
"If petrol station flowers and a lacklustre card have landed you in hot water on Valentine's Day in the past, this year a more luxurious dip could ensure the path to true love runs smoothly. There can be few pleasures in life finer than sitting in a bubbling hot tub with a chilled glass of wine watching the sun set over a breath taking view of mountains and a sparkling lake.
But this February 14, that's exactly what one lucky couple will be experiencing in the elegant luxury of Linthwaite House. Set in a quiet location near Windermere, this romantic retreat, a member of the Pride of Britain consortium of independent hotels, is rapidly growing in popularity as a wedding venue.
Its charm comes not only form its handsome appearance and home-like hospitality, but the unique experience of staying there. From the open log fires and sumptuous sofas of Linthwaite's lounges and conservatories, its opulent bar and mind boggling wine list - attention is given to the tiniest detail.
Brightly coloured wellington boots line the hall to enjoy the hotel's pretty grounds or you can settle in with a jigsaw, a board game or a borrowed book and wile away the afternoon in tranquil comfort.
A programme of endless refurbishment means the hotel's rooms are constantly updated. Good quality furnishings, beautiful fabrics in muted colours and thrilling mod cons give you an urge to bounce on the bed with excitement when you enter the room.
Lovebirds can settle in with a romantic DVD, play special songs on an iPod docking station and even watch TV during a soak in the bath in some rooms.
Guests staying in the superb hot tub suite could easily lock themselves away from the world and soak away the aches and pains of a long walk or enjoy the exquisite views pre-breakfast.
But dodging the dining experience at Linthwaite House would be to miss something very special. Guests can dress to impress and enjoy pre dinner drinks and canapés, or simply rock up in comfy clothes and nobody bats an eyelid. Service is attentive and friendly without being intrusive and waiters appear as if by magic to top up your wine glass. With four courses of fine fare boasting indulgent options such as mosaic of rabbit confit and pan roasted diver scallops to start. Mains include roast fillet of Cumbrian beef and fillet of cod, mussel and clam risotto and tempting desserts like warm raspberry soufflé and bitter chocolate sorbet guarantee a mouth watering experience. Breakfast is just as impressive with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, a full Cumbrian or fresh fruit and cereals on offer.
When leaving Linthwaite, you do feel as though you have stayed somewhere special."
Jenny Needham, Northern Echo, January 2012
"Jenny Needham kicks off her walking boots and laps up a bit of rest and relaxation on the edge of Windermere.
It was a cold, cold day in mid-January, and the car park at Linthwaite House hotel was full. The comfortable lounges were abuzz. And that evening, almost every table in the two atmospheric dining rooms was taken. Not bad for a hotel in winter, in this country, in the middle of a recession.
So what's the secret recipe? Well, there's the convivial atmosphere; the efficient but unstuffy service; the absolutely scrumptious dishes cooked using locally sourced ingredients… and the lovely views of Lake Windermere from the wraparound conservatory.
There's the location, on a quiet hillside a stone's throw from busy Bowness; the extensive grounds with their own tarn; and the comfortable bedroom suites. On a cold, cold weekend in mid-January, it was the perfect relaxing retreat and we loved it.
The 30-bedroom hotel is owned by Mike Bevans, who says he's been in the business "for ever". He worked in Brighton for most of his early career, before heading for the Lakes to help develop the Langdale estate timeshare business. When that was taken over, he decided to move on.
"For the first time in my life, I was jobless and someone said, 'Why don't you buy your own hotel?' So, probably quite foolishly, I sold my house and got some backers." After looking at about 45 properties east of Windermere – "location is everything" – he stumbled upon Linthwaite. It was the perfect place: a bit out of town but with 14 acres and wonderful views of the lake.
"It was a prime site," says Mike. "After all, we are selling peace and tranquillity, a respite for people from their busy daily lives; that's what we do." The hotel was originally built as a five-bedroomed house at the turn of the 20th Century, probably as a rural bolthole for a wealthy Lancashire mill owner and his family. By 1990, it had become a rather unprepossessing two-star hotel, "okay, but deadly dull," says Mike.
"We had a budget of £250,000 and spent almost double that completely renovating it." And what a transformation. "We didn't want it to look like an archetypal country house hotel with swags and chintz and that was the brief to the interior designer," says Mike. The outcome was "Raffles-meets-Ralph-Lauren", a style which has evolved over the years into something a bit more contemporary without losing any of its charm.
As you enter the hotel, there's a carved mahogany fireplace with crackling fire in the hall – in an effort to be green, the logs come from the woods just outside – the sitting rooms are unflashy and comfortable with huge piles of magazines and tables fashioned from old travel trunks. The little bar just off the sitting room has a fish tank embedded in the wall.
There are two dining rooms, one the former billiards room, which leads onto another. Here, two walls decorated by someone with a mirror fetish reflect back the flickering flames from the candlelit tables.
Our bedroom was neutral, calming and comfortable, with a huge dressing room squeaky-clean bathroom and enormous bed.
Upstairs again is the magnificent 56 square metre Loft Suite with glass roof for star-gazing, the perfect retreat for honeymooners. At the front, the terrace is undergoing something of an extension and decking is being added. "We want to take advantage of the views and encourage non-residents to come up and have lunch outside in the summer," says Mike.
In the hallway there's a row of brightly coloured wellies in different sizes which can be borrowed when you want to wander through the landscaped wood to the summer house by the tarn. It was once used as a reservoir for the
Storrs area of Bowness and is fed by natural springs. Gung-ho guests are welcome to swim here in the summer. "I've been in when it's really hot," says Mike. "The water is so pure you can drink it as you swim."
As it was still winter, a swim didn't really feature in our plans, so we wandered down into Bowness and took a 50p ferry ride across the lake for a walk. The Windermere Ferry – the only one in the Lakes to carry cars – takes about 15 minutes to cross from Ferry Nab just south of Bowness to Ferry House at Far Sawrey. Back in Bowness later that day, we did a spot of shopping. Naturally, every other outlet is an outdoor clothing store and the woman in Edge of the World who sold me some much needed gloves asked where we were staying. "Linthwaite," I said. "Lucky you," she replied.
Ironically, for a hotel in the heart of walking country, Linthwaite does everything in its power to persuade you to kick off your walking boots and forget about the great outdoors. Asked about the secret of a running a successful hotel, Mike says: "It's so important you don't intimidate people. Even though I hate the phrase, you have to make them feel at home. That's why my business is called The Unstuffy Hotel Company.""
Fiona Duncan, The Telegraph, October 2011
"I'm not fond of Lakeland hotels as a breed – expensive and stodgy – but there are three around Windermere that make fine places to stay.
I've already reviewed Holbeck Ghyll and Relais & Châteaux Gilpin Lodge, so now for Linthwaite House, built in 1900 as a private home. If I were choosing for myself, this is probably the one that I would stay in.
But not, I have to say, for the glitzy new Loft Suite or the Hot Tub Suite or the "Raffles-meets-Ralph-Lauren" decoration in the bar and dining room – all shiny wallpapers and embossed velvet banquets – or for the oversized headboards in the bedrooms and the televisions set in bathroom mirrors in the luxury ones. Call me old fashioned, but while I don't want stodgy, I don't need a bathroom telly amid scenery worthy of an ode.
No, what I like about Linthwaite is the carved mahogany fireplace with crackling fire in the hall, the unflashy sitting rooms, the wraparound conservatory with wonderful lake views, the gently sloping grounds. My favourite detail? The original doors on the gents and ladies loos, with their brass vacant/occupied plates. Perhaps I'm the wrong person for this job.
But I do realise only too well that in order to survive and thrive, hotels like these have to move with the times and stretch themselves to reflect the preoccupations of their guests.
They all opened around a quarter of a century ago, in the days when most guests simply looked for peace and quiet, satisfying food and a nice cup of tea, and they have all had to rise to the challenge of today's demands: no hot tub, no show.
OK, perhaps I exaggerate, but people (not me) seem to be looking for some sort of twist: a feeling of glamour, a spa, a cookery demonstration, something to talk about back home. A hot tub.
"That was my kitchen, back in the day," general manager Andy Nicholson told me as I surveyed the little bar off the sitting room, exotic fish tank embedded in one wall. "I was head chef here 10 years ago. As you can see, it was tiny."
Not so the new kitchen, which has a wall of windows, so that the first thing you see when you arrive at the hotel is the chefs beavering away at your dinner.
And a very good dinner it is, too. Really, the food in country-house hotels is often superb. Of course it should be – they are expensive – but it's good that I rarely hear complaints, only praise, on that score. It's ambience and service that are more likely to be in question.
Not here. Not the service. Not with Andy and Mike Bevans, owner for the past 21 years, at the helm. Andy knows the names of all his guests and they are beautifully looked after.
"I'm wheat intolerant," one told me. "You wouldn't believe the lengths they have gone to, getting in special products and adapting the menu for me." Vegetarians take note: there is a great veggie menu alongside the main one, with dishes that can be served as starters or main courses. I tried the polenta with herbs, girolles and broad bean fricassée: delicious."
Linthwaite was mentioned in the daily telegraph as one of the top 10 wedding venues in Britain, according to confetti.co.uk, along with other prestigious places such as Lanesborough Hotel, Hanbury Manor, Allerton Castle and the BA London Eye.
Heat Magazine, May 2010
"Linthwaite House combines tranquility and excellent service with yummy food and super-chic rooms, and even better views. The acres of gorgeous grounds offer a true taste of the Lake District and you're sure to return from a stay feeling ultra-relaxed."
Jackie Annesley, London Evening Standard, May 2010
"...We were heading for Linthwaite House, overlooking Lake Windermere... Through the rain the award-winning Linthwaite beckoned, a 1900's house on a hilltop in fourteen acres of lawns, woods and lake. We'd barely checked in before the children, like unleashed dogs, bounded into the grounds, whooping like banshees. Meanwhile, we dried off by the reception fire (using only wood cut from the grounds - it's admirably green)..."
Good Hotel Guide 2010, www.goodhotelguide.com
"In a great location, this timbered, creeper-covered, white and stone house has amazing views over landscaped gardens to Lake Windermere. Public rooms have oriental rugs, potted plants, cabin trunks, memorabilia, and an enclosed veranda faces the water."
The City Magazine, January 2010
"Although there is a wide of accommodation in the Lakes, we were drawn to the charm of Linthwaite House... The special thing about Linthwaite, we found, was the atmosphere. Although every room, fitting and meal is luxurious in every way, the staff are friendly and 'un-stuffy'... Leaving Linthwaite House was hard, and we could have quite happily stayed on for another week."
