Lakehouse at The Waterhead Inn

The Hotel is situated perfectly for great views and access to Lake Windermere and surrounding lakes and beautiful towns. Breakfast was good and team supporting were helpful. Shower was great. Did feel that the cost of the room (room 210 over £200) was not justified by the condition we found it in. Hair and small towel were in the sink on arrival, bed appeared to have been made in a rush with hair in and on it. Thick layers of dust around the bedframe, spiders and cobwebs above the window frame and right curtain slightly hanging off from broken clip. Mould in parts of the shower too. The room felt very tired and unclean. The team did apologise and came to clean the room but majority of the issues remained. For the money I paid and as it was for my partner’s birthday, I was very disappointed, and although we will be returning to the area as it is beautiful, we won’t be returning to this hotel.

I think the reception we received was superb from the second we walked into the building. The hotel is spacious and roomy, a period property in nice well kept grounds above the road and set back and lined with big mature trees to dampen the noise from the passing traffic. Apparently they are having a refurb in the hotel, which will be nice, but it does have character and a warm feeling, this is mainly down to the girls running the place, they are really friendly and genuinely nice and also very helpful, they have a great breakfast to set you up for the day too. It's a 15 min walk into the town, or a 2 minute bus ride just across the road from the property. We sat under cover of the pagoda for our packed lunch prior going for a walk, it was nice and pleasant. A two minute walk and your at Ambleside pier, great for a boat ride or ice cream. We recommend walking across to the pier and then go on the back road into the town, you get to see more of what the town has to offer, I.e a nice park, rugby field, crazy golf, cinema and abundance of well crafted architectural buildings mixed with stone and slate. The locals appreciate your business and the ambience of the town felt really friendly. Overall a lot crammed in such a short stay, but it was a great place to visit and we will return.

Nice and clean, great breakfast with friendly staff and good location.

Great stay. Stylish, spacious and clean accommodation. A very warm welcome on check in and great breakfast service. The Lake House building itself and the grounds are beautiful and a perfect base to explore the area. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely stay. Attentive staff and a great location to to explore Ambleside and Windermere from.

The property is in a beautiful setting in a lovely village. The interior is nicely done. There was no elevator however and we were in a room on the 2nd floor which meant we had to repack our bags in the car since we could not carry all of them up to the room.
