Top Ullswater Hotel Reviews

The Brantwood Hotel

8/10 Good

"Food was very good . Clean bed with a en-suite, just what we needed , could have been less dusty, but it wasn,t a deal breaker, and the pleasant staff made up for it."

Crown Inn at Pooley Bridge

8/10 Good

"VISITED THIS PROPERTY SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS BUT HAVE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO STAY UNTIL NOW. WASNT DISSAPPOINTED EVERTHING FROM THE ROOM, BAR, FOOD INCLUDING BREAKFAST AND OF CORSE THE STAFF. THE ONLY NEGATIVES WERE LIMITED PARKING AND NO ROOM SAFE."

The Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed staying here. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. They are very environmentally aware and encourage guests to be mindful as well. I arrived too late for dinner but breakfast was tasty and I only stayed one night. There were families/folk enjoying the hammocks in the garden and an outdoor almost people sized game of chess."

Glenridding Manor House

8/10 Good

"My wife and I had a very enjoyable and peaceful stay. This property was ideal for our needs. It only has 5 bedrooms, so the quiet, friendly, relaxing atmosphere was perfect. The host Elaine was very hospitable and always on hand for our every need. The room was newly decorated to a high standard and had a balcony where we could sit and relax, with a lovely view of the lake and mountains. We didn't stay for an evening meal but our breakfasts were excellent. Plenty of fresh fruit and cereals and a very good cooked breakfast with good local produce. The property borders the lake with seating adjacent to the water for a relaxing rest. The property is a very short walk into the Glenridding, with its shops, pubs and cafe's. Also, a short walk to Glenridding pier where steamers run regularly along the length of Ullswater. It wasn't a real issue but the grounds of the hotel has several old cars, caravans and boats stored which detracts from the pleasant gardens."

Haweswater Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing building, great food and staff who genuinely care"

1863 Restaurant with Rooms

8/10 Good

"The room was small but very well maintained and clean. The breakfast you could not fault, although you had to give your choice on the night before which personally not in favour of. The staff were very attentive, pleasant and efficient. The situation in the middle of the village ideal and parking on site, excellent. No dogs allowed on site which I am in favour of."

Pooley Bridge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay at Pooley Bridge Inn where I received a warm welcome. Very comfortable room with a lovely bed and great shower. Not too noisy considering it’s above the pub but the pub serves excellent food and a great range of drinks. Breakfast was good too with very lovely serving staff. Parking was easy and a great location to get the best from the area. I was travelling alone and would recommend to other Lake District explorers."

Queens Head Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic staff, made us feel very welcome."

Lane Head Farm Country Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived to a lovely friendly greeting from Suruchi, we were given a walk around of the property, offered information on things to do and places to go. We chose this as a central location that was dog friendly for the three of us to stay. Nice location, nice property and the room was clean and tidy. Would definitely use this property again on another stay in the lakes. Thank you for making our 4 night stay so memorable."
