The room was huge with two twin beds put together and a seperate single in an alcove..still room for two comfy chairs. Spotlessly clean.... More

The Wateredge Inn is located just along the road from the pier where the Windermere ferries dock. We popped in for lunch after walking back from the town centre which about a mile from the dock. It was very busy when we visited but the service both at the bar and for food was still very quick. Fortunately we saw... More

Our Family of nine plus two children stayed at this Inn for three nights over the easter break. The Inn is ideally located at the ferry landing Waterhead Windermere a short walk away from the bustling town of Ambleside. We stayed in one of the suites with balcony with views over the lake itself. The rooms have recently updated to... More

Only been to the lakes twice but after the first time at waters edge it was so good we went back. Food is excellent, staff are courteous and well mannered. Definitely recommend the hotel. Dog friendly was another plus point. Breakfasts are up there with the best I've had in some five stars in London. You cannot go wrong with... More

A very nice hotel (and restaurant). The room was clean and comfortable, the bathroom was the same. The views were very good. Our room was on the first floor in the separate annexe so we looked partially over the car park, partially over the restaurant to the lake for our good lake views. Getting from the annexe to the restaurant... More

Booked in to here for 2 nights following our 3 nights at Windermere, bar and food is excellent, staff very friendly. We checked in to our room, to find mould in the shower, a little television in the corner that could not be viewed from the bed. Bath wasn't sitting on base properly, and this was one of the lake...

When you called the day before you arrived to cancel your 2nd night - you were told as per our T & C's that you were liable for the cost if we did not re-let the room in full - so you informed us that if that was the case you would keep the booking for 2 nights. After checking... More

Great location, excellent quality foot and a great bar. We stayed in room 27 and whilst it had a side view of the lake you could actually see the lake from the bed. Fresh towels daily, tea and coffee in room and plenty of space (sofa in room). Great shower. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Well recommended.

In the past had went for evening meal and the food and service was excellent so thought we would go back and stay when we had our next holiday. This time we stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. The rooms are lovely and elegant with lots of nice finishing touches. Great choice of food at breakfast and... More
