"Warm welcome and amazing, helpful staff team. Lovely clean rooms and great water pressure. Buffet style cooked breakfast was only thing that was not 100% ... one day it was all pretty dried under the lights, although the next stay it was much busier and breakfast was fresher as turnaround of stock was faster. We ate one night in the restaurant and the food was good but a little pricy, although expected for a hotel restaurant. We would definitely stay again if in the area."

8/10 Good
"The location was great, and the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were clean, and the beds were very comfortable. However, the hotel’s email and advertisement stated that a restaurant and room service were available for ordering food. One evening, we tried to eat at the restaurant but were told that it was unavailable because they were busy catering for a large group. We also tried to order room service, but were told that they were too busy to take our order. Thankfully, there were plenty of places to eat around town, so we were able to go out for dinner instead. Apart from this disappointment with the food service, everything else was great, and we had a lovely stay."

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Patterdale is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Patterdale, aiming for accommodations slightly outside the immediate village centre, perhaps in areas like Glenridding or even further afield towards Pooley Bridge, will generally yield cheaper hotel options. While Patterdale itself is small, options tend to be more boutique or family-run, which can come with a higher price tag.Solo travellers should consider the small village of Glenridding, just a short distance from Patterdale, which often provides more competitive pricing for guesthouses and B&Bs. It's well-connected by local bus services to Patterdale and offers direct access to Ullswater Lake, with boat trips providing scenic and affordable transport options. You'll find a few pubs and cafes there for reasonably priced meals too.Another option for those truly prioritising cost savings is to look north towards Pooley Bridge. While a bit further out, this area can offer better value, especially for those who don't mind a longer walk or using the local bus service to reach the heart of the Patterdale valley.
How much does a budget hotel in Patterdale cost?
Budget hotel prices in Patterdale vary, but you can find a great deal from £57 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates.

When is the most affordable time to visit Patterdale?
The most affordable time to visit Patterdale is typically during the shoulder seasons, specifically late autumn (October to November) and early spring (March to April), outside of school holidays.

Many guesthouses and B&Bs in Patterdale and nearby Glenridding offer reduced rates, and you'll find it easier to secure a single room. Public transport, such as the local bus services, remains operational, connecting you to popular walking routes around Ullswater.Families looking for value should also consider these times. While some attractions might have slightly reduced opening hours, the natural beauty of the area, including walks around Ullswater and the lower fells, remains free to enjoy.
