Dale was a fantastic host and couldn’t have done enough for us. He kindly informed us we’d been upgraded to a nicer room which had an amazing view of Thirlmere with a patio and asked us for any dietary requirements for breakfast. We told him we’re both vegan but didn’t expect much, they actually took the time to nip out and get some vegan sausages and oat milk. We had an oat meal porridge with toast for breakfast which was really nice however there were other options available. Breakfast doesn’t usually start til 08:15 which would have meant we wouldn’t have had time to eat on our last day due to an activity we had booked early morning. I spoke to Dale the evening before and he was able to see to us at 8 so we could make it. Great experience, we will definitely come back
Nestled peacefully amongst the Eastern Lakeland Fells and located on many of the best-loved Lakeland walks, this charming country retreat is ideal for a peaceful break in Dockray.

The hostess, Jean was great, loved the fireplace being relaid with fresh logs and firelighters and coal every day. Just had to light it. VERY comfy bunks. Decent shower, decent kitchen and toilet. PEACEFUL.
Glenridding the gateway to Ullswater. I chose the Ullswater Inn for it's location as it's right in the heart of everything. Access to Lake Ullswater is a stones throw from the Inn. Plenty of walks and beautiful scenery, whatever the weather.
The food at the Ullswater is prepared fresh to your order and is of a high standard, no need to go looking to eat elsewhere. I can fully recommend the porridge at breakfast.
Chris and the team really make you feel welcome and do everything they can to make your stay a thing to remember.

Very beautiful location with quaint cafés and plenty of hiking trails. The lake offers more experiences too. There is a lot of nature to explore. It is also quiet and peaceful. The locals and warm and hospitable while other hikers and outdoorsy people are friendly too.
It is a tad difficult to drive around due to the road quality in some places. The ferry across the lake stopped services fairly early too (around 5pm).
Food and drink is good. There are plenty of local beers to try and lots of vegan options too in multiple cafés.

An excellent hotel met all our expectations. Location & surroundings are spectacular. We did the walk from Glenridding to Howtown it was very challenging to inexperienced walkers but the views were stunning. On our way home we stopped off at Lowther Castle which was lovely .

Lovely small village comprising mostly natural stone built properties extending up the valley. One of the main access routes for those wishing to visit Helvelyn & nearby mountains. Also main access to the Steamboat ferry - so its quite a busy place. (Beware - the Steamboat may cancel at short notice - leaving you stranded miles from where you want to get to.!!). Several eating & drinking establishments available - all those visited were busy. Main road through the village is quite busy.
Would recommend a visit.
Staff tried to do what they could
Breakfast was really good lunch and tea meals not so good we went elsewhere to eat from the second night parking is horrendous only limited spaces at the hotel over the road is a pay and display so cost over £29 for parking this wasnt explained in the booking and found out later. The lift doesnt work so we had to hug bags upstairs the room was lovely and clean but the room was next to the road so sleep was very disturbed it is overpriced for what you get
Thank you to Daniel, who waited at reception and made me a sandwich when I arrived after midnight on the first night, delayed due to traffic. This set the tone for the entire stay. The breakfast was fabulous, as was dinner. The friendliness and genuine tone of the staff was heartwarming. Everything was spot on, everyone was welcoming, the service was outstanding. I recommend the Inn on The Lake to everyone! It is a home from home and I'll be back!
What stands out most of all is the friendly, helpful, smiling attitude of ALL STAFF that we came into contact with. Nothing, I mean NOTHING was a problem or hassle, everything we asked for was delivered with a smile.
The hotel is to undergo a £2m upgrade next year. This should make the place even better (but please keep all the same staff).
On arrival I was greeted with a warm smile, and helped up to my room with my case, as it was very heavy. At breakfast there was a good selection from yogurts to fruit ,and of course the menu to choose from, can highly recommend the full English breakfast, also the service was very good too.
The property is in woodland and there are deer who visit the garden. Glenridding is in walking distance and there are several places to eat and drink and shops there. It is a good base for walking and the walks around Ullswater are lovely and not too strenuous.
This hostel is in an excellent location if you wish to spend some time in nature. There are many hiking trails from the hostel, however Glenridding village is also close enough if you need to do some shopping. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Very clean, nice shared space.
In the kitchen, you should find everything you need for cooking.
The beds were pretty comfy. < 10 mins from the bus station. The room was spacious.
Checked in quickly and a bit earlier. Friendly staff.
The hotel offers traditional comfort with beautiful views of the mountains and lake. The staff work very efficiently as a team and are all friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing base to explore the Lakes.
This is a well equipped cosy cottage in the middle of Glenridding, on the walk up to Helvellyn. A lovely welcome pack was provided. A stunning sun room on the third floor provided panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
Everything is perfect at the Inn on the Lake, wonderful location, nice building, nice garden, good service, good diner, good breakfast. I can also highly recommend the area, some good hikes starting from the hotel.
Comfortable bed, room size was great, good view of the mountain from my window, shower/bath was good. It was great location to get to Helvellyn, the best was was the shop outside the hotel.
we stayed here because we were wedding guests at inn on the lake hotel. it was expensive compared to other b&bs in the lake but it’s in a prime location.
