Good sized room, very comfy beds, welcoming staff.
Clean room, great steaks, breakfast was what we needed to get up the big hill and staff were welcoming - but short staffed at the bar and our room was in the basement overlooking the car park … can’t expect a lake view for the price I suppose
Staff were all bizarrely miserable without exception from what we experienced. It was really odd and was quite a vibe killer for what was otherwise an outstandingly beautiful hotel and location
Room's were clean, good breakfast, ideal for walking .View's were stunning. Staff were friendly. Not many car parking space but the car park was about 2 mins away. Overall a good place to stay
The hotel was perfectly located for walking. The room was very clean there was just some lipstick/ makeup marks on the bathroom wall which I didn't expect as the room was expensive. But overall it was a luxury experience. Breakfast was nice
Great food and drinks in the restaurant. Breakfast served from 7.30am Mon - Sat and 8am on Sunday. Recently renovated, friendly staff, evening meal was great, try the steak pie!
Excellent stay, breathtaking location, friendly welcome and service. Room was great, lovely shower, easy check in and check out. Can’t fault it and will return.
Beautiful area, good food, nice room. The room was a bit warm but a fan had been provided so that helped. We would definitely stay here again if in this area.
Lovely one night stay for my partners birthday. Room with a view of the lake was very comfortable. Breakfast was great and meal in the bar very enjoyable. Would stay again.
We stayed at the Ullswater Inn while hiking the C2C. The staff was welcoming. Our room was clean and well appointed. The onsite restaurant was very good! We would definitely stay here again!
Nice hotel and the bar downstairs served nice food. The rooms however were very hot, we were provided with a fan and had the windows open but it didnt help much. We booked a room with a lake view and it is not much of a lake view more a car park view.
Last minute trip to the Lakes. Super easy check-in, lovely Sunday roast, dog friendly, spacious, clean, well presented bedroom & a plentiful full English breakfast. Staff super friendly, helpful & accommodating. We’ll be definitely coming back.
Great stay, great value for money. Location lovely and lake view didnt disappoint. Food lovely. Service friendly. The whole hotel was clean. If I had 1 thing to say it could do with is to provide bottled water in the room.
