The landlady and staff were extremely pleasant and helpful
The rooms were immaculate, great shower etc.
The breakfast was great too with plenty of options.
Highly recommend.

We arrived late and were unsure about whether we'd get a vegetarian dinner - but we did, and it was unexpectedly good, including excellent service. This is a lovely hotel, comfortable, with excellent staff, an outstanding location, and very convenient for anyone who wants to experience a ride on the Ullswater 'steamer'.

Breakfast was very good although there were a lot of supplimentary costs for some dishes which was a little disappointing as breakfast was included in the cost.
Nestled peacefully among the Eastern Lakeland Fells and located on many of the best-loved Lakeland walks, this charming country retreat is ideal for a peaceful break in Dockray.

The room was clean and comfortable with a beautiful mountain view! We ate dinner and breakfast there and the food was delicious! The staff was gracious and helpful. Will definitely stay here when we're back in the area!
Glenridding the gateway to Ullswater. I chose the Ullswater Inn for it's location as it's right in the heart of everything. Access to Lake Ullswater is a stones throw from the Inn. Plenty of walks and beautiful scenery, whatever the weather.
The food at the Ullswater is prepared fresh to your order and is of a high standard, no need to go looking to eat elsewhere. I can fully recommend the porridge at breakfast.
Chris and the team really make you feel welcome and do everything they can to make your stay a thing to remember.

Very beautiful location with quaint cafés and plenty of hiking trails. The lake offers more experiences too. There is a lot of nature to explore. It is also quiet and peaceful. The locals and warm and hospitable while other hikers and outdoorsy people are friendly too.
It is a tad difficult to drive around due to the road quality in some places. The ferry across the lake stopped services fairly early too (around 5pm).
Food and drink is good. There are plenty of local beers to try and lots of vegan options too in multiple cafés.

An excellent hotel met all our expectations. Location & surroundings are spectacular. We did the walk from Glenridding to Howtown it was very challenging to inexperienced walkers but the views were stunning. On our way home we stopped off at Lowther Castle which was lovely .

Lovely small village comprising mostly natural stone built...
Lovely small village comprising mostly natural stone built properties extending up the valley. One of the main access routes for those wishing to visit Helvelyn & nearby mountains. Also main access to the Steamboat ferry - so its quite a busy place. (Beware - the Steamboat may cancel at short notice - leaving you stranded miles from where you want to get to.!!). Several eating & drinking establishments available - all those visited were busy. Main road through the village is quite busy.
Would recommend a visit.
Thank you to Daniel, who waited at reception and made me a sandwich when I arrived after midnight on the first night, delayed due to traffic. This set the tone for the entire stay. The breakfast was fabulous, as was dinner. The friendliness and genuine tone of the staff was heartwarming. Everything was spot on, everyone was welcoming, the service was outstanding. I recommend the Inn on The Lake to everyone! It is a home from home and I'll be back!
What stands out most of all is the friendly, helpful, smiling attitude of ALL STAFF that we came into contact with. Nothing, I mean NOTHING was a problem or hassle, everything we asked for was delivered with a smile.
The hotel is to undergo a £2m upgrade next year. This should make the place even better (but please keep all the same staff).

On arrival I was greeted with a warm smile, and helped up to my room with my case, as it was very heavy. At breakfast there was a good selection from yogurts to fruit ,and of course the menu to choose from, can highly recommend the full English breakfast, also the service was very good too.
The property is in woodland and there are deer who visit the garden. Glenridding is in walking distance and there are several places to eat and drink and shops there. It is a good base for walking and the walks around Ullswater are lovely and not too strenuous.
This hostel is in an excellent location if you wish to spend some time in nature. There are many hiking trails from the hostel, however Glenridding village is also close enough if you need to do some shopping. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Superb hotel in a beautiful setting . We had a room with a bay window and view of the lake . We loved watching the swans glide by at various times . The staff were very nice and helpful. Importantly the location is ideal for walkers which we are .
We liked that there was a ping pong table and that no one was in the pool or sauna when we were there. We came to the hotel for our anniversary and had a good laugh playing together. Good location. Sat by the lake under the stars before bed.
Very clean, nice shared space.
In the kitchen, you should find everything you need for cooking.
The beds were pretty comfy. < 10 mins from the bus station. The room was spacious.
Checked in quickly and a bit earlier. Friendly staff.
The hotel offers traditional comfort with beautiful views of the mountains and lake. The staff work very efficiently as a team and are all friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing base to explore the Lakes.
This is a well equipped cosy cottage in the middle of Glenridding, on the walk up to Helvellyn. A lovely welcome pack was provided. A stunning sun room on the third floor provided panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
Loved this hotel
The staff were so accommodating and friendly and helpful. Delicious home cooked breakfast and fully on board with vegan and dairy free.
Will be back to stay for more exploring of the stunning area
