    tight parking
    uphill trek

    Our room was spacious and modern, with stunning views of the lake—just breathtaking! The bathroom was clean and had a nice bathtub, perfect for winding down. The comfy bed made it easy to relax after our adventures. the parking was a bit tight and tricky to navigate. the trek uphill to our room could be a bit of a workout, especially with luggage.

    comfortable bed
    great breakfast

    It was just a balanced option for a couple of nights in Ambleside with definitely value for money. The breakfast was great, served in a light and airy dining room. Be prepared for a steep driveway if driving up.

    delicious breakfast
    great view
    excellent value

    I had a great experience during my stay. The breakfast was a highlight, and the scrambled egg was particularly enjoyable. I opted for breakfast in bed, which added a nice touch as I could eat while looking at the lake. My partner and I appreciated the overall value compared to other places nearby. It was convenient for us as a couple enjoying a weekend getaway. We plan to return.

    the lakehouse is such a lovely little place! I’ve stayed here a few times, and it never disappoints. the breakfast is fantastic, especially with the gorgeous lake views from the restaurant. I love the comfy beds and that they offer dog-friendly rooms. everything is within walking distance, making it super convenient. the staff really make you feel welcome, which adds to the experience.

    welcoming atmosphere
    confusing check-in
    limited directions

    The Lakehouse At The Waterhead Inn is beautifully decorated, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The accessibility features were excellent, making it easy for seniors like myself to move around comfortably, particularly the spacious dining area and convenient parking.

    Better signage for check-in location would help.

    amazing view
    friendly staff

    Perfect for a little escape

    The view from the room was amazing, waking up to the sun rising over the lake was like something out of a movie. The breakfast was out of this world, I mean, they served the local sausage that had me asking for seconds, and the staff were genuinely friendly, it made all the difference.

    It wasn't exactly budget-friendly, but you get what you pay for.

    great stay but minor room issues

    The bar area offered a cozy atmosphere, perfect for winding down after a long day. The garden view from my room was truly serene, enhancing my overall experience.

    The room's lighting could use some improvement to create a warmer ambiance.

    lack of lounge
    tight parking

    The hotel boasts stunning views and a spacious room that was exceptionally clean. Breakfast was delightful, with friendly staff enhancing the experience. the lack of a proper lounge area was disappointing, and the parking could be quite tight at times.

    We had an absolutely fantastic stay! The location of the Lakehouse At The Waterhead Inn was perfect for exploring Lake Windermere. Our room was spacious and modern with stunning views of the lake. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was a delight with a wide array of options, and we were especially impressed by the delicious scrambled eggs!

    Parking was a bit tight.

    Charming Stay in the Lakes

    Our six-night stay was a delight! The staff went above and beyond, accommodating our needs. Enjoyed the breathtaking gardens and the hearty breakfast—just avoid the poached eggs if you prefer them runny! Perfectly situated for exploring the stunning Lake Windermere.
