Loved it here. Really Remote. No noise from cars or roads at all. Just the river 😍 Friendly welcoming staff who were really polite and helpful and made me feel right at home. Lovely atmosphere. Great base to explore the hills around Patterdale and Glenridding. Lovely garden next to the river…peaceful. Will definitely be back. Thank you 🙏

I booked this hotel because of the location,near to Keswick. After parking we walked round the front looking for the entrance. Tha view from the front was amazing but we couldn't open the door so we went round the back and finally made an entry. This is where the ,fun' started .It was like travelling back to the 30s. Very old and not particularly stylish brown furniture. A man ,looking like Jeeves introduced himself. We asked if dinner was available but he apologised and said he was the only person in the hotel. I asked if he had a bar and and he showed me into a very cold dark room where the drinks available were a very poor selection. We went up to the room which was large but feel cosy. The view over the lake was fantastic. We tested the beds and looked at eachother and agreed to leave. We met the member of staff downstairs and I basically stated my case about leaving. The best way to describe it to him was that he had a vintage Rolls Royce without an engine and on that we left.

Dinner was amazing, the service excellent. Loved watching the squirrels in the morning while we are breakfast.

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.

The room we had was spacious, well laid out, comfortable bed, pillows we were on top floor and the view from our room was just amazing.
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...
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.
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).
We arrived late and were unsure about whether we'd get a vegetarian dinner - but we did, and it was unexpectedly good, including excellent service. This is a lovely hotel, comfortable, with excellent staff, an outstanding location, and very convenient for anyone who wants to experience a ride on the Ullswater 'steamer'.
Nice hotel in a beautiful area of the Lakes, beds were comfy although they felt damp, room clean apart from the odd cobweb and there was tea/coffee making facilities, bathroom had all the little extras ie. Shampoo, shower gel, soap, hand cream, the cooked breakfast was very good. Not cheap but all in all a good stay.
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.
Great location, you are already in the fells. Accessible by car. 10-15min walk to The Traveller's rest pub with amazing view. 30min walk to Glenridding, would recommend a pint in The Inn on the lake (fancy 4* hotel but lovely courtyard round the back looking onto the lake)
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.
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.
I was attending a wedding at the hotel. The location was spectacular, the room was clean and comfortable and it was great that my room was ready ahead of the wedding. The food was excellent and the staff friendly and attentive.
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.
The location is absolute perfection. Breakfast is great. The rooms are as expected for the hotel star rating, was luck enough to have the most spectacular view.
