3 separate Inn properties were stayed in during our current UK visit from Canada. Each Inn was exceptional in all aspects. Highly recommend their hotels in the N/E and Lake District. .. will certainly use them again during any future vacation.. 5 star indeed!

What a beautiful inn and great location (pretty much llakeside). Our room was spacious and had a lakeview. Bed was very comfortable. Very friendly staff. Food was good and on a rainy day, people just hung out in the dining area enjoying the views and conversation. Definitely recommend.

Overpriced
The staff were very helpful and friendly. Food in restaurant was really good, and also expensive. I ordered the monkfish and prawn curry, and it was a very small portion and I had to ask for more sauce. Breakfast was manic, had to wait over half an hour for my breakfast, after complaining they reluctantly did not charge me. I think it is very expensive to stay here and did not reach my expectations for what I paid.

The Waterhead Inn is in a stunning location on the shore of Lake Windermere with open views over to The Langdales. A short walk to the centre of Ambleside, with friendly, helpful staff and rare, coveted parking.

Waterhead Inn was easy to find, great location and amazing views. Staff very friendly and highly attentive. The room was big and clean, one of the two windows unfortunately would not open which was a pain as it was so hot this week. Lovely bathroom. Food menus really good, lots of selection and nice to have a choice of local ales. Would have stayed an extra night but needed better insentive with the discount. But still highly recommend to family and friends!

I liked the cleanliness of this property, and the staff were very friendly and helpful at all times. The only problem being a lack of a lift. My husband and I were staying in a beautiful luxury room with a beautiful view over the lake. However as my husband has a problem with walking, he was struggling to get up 3 flights of stairs to get to our room-number 31.
