They were very accommodating, the room was nice albeit a bit chilly. They also helped with the parking which was a nice touch. The breakfast was very tasty. Only minus was the Wi-Fi which was a bit spotty however I would guess it was because we were on the second floor

We had a great one night stay at the Waterhead Inn back in June on our way back to London. A beautiful location set on Lake Windermere. The hotel rooms were large, comfortable and had a king bed. We really loved our time sitting in the hotel/restaurant enjoying some drinks on a rainy afternoon. The hotel is stunning inside, beautifully furnished. The food and service were excellent.

The room was on the ground floor as I have mobility issues. It overlooked the lake. Having breakfast and dinner on the terrace was particularly nice. The staff was very helpful taking my breakfast to the terrace. The location could hardly have been better. A lovely hotel.

The Wateredge Inn has a lovely authentic feel. It’s a large property that has maintained a cosy and welcoming style with its decor and original features. Beautiful setting with its location right on the lakeside. Our room was tastefully decorated, with a very comfy bed and great shower facilities. Friendly, polite and helpful staff. Large car park at the hotel, no parking issues 😊 thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
