Peter United Kingdom

fantastic location, gorgeous room and view. lovely breakfast

Julie United Kingdom

Location excellent. Room very clean and staff friendly. Breakfast good. A lovely stay for a birthday celebration.

Sandra United Kingdom

The team spirit and work ethic of the front team was exceptional. I am sure the unseen backup teams are the same and something they should all be proud of. Probably fair to say not many have long term experience in the industry but their effort and dedication to provide an efficient and friendly service was impressive. We’ll done to them all.

The staff were amazing. They all clearly work very hard to ensure guests have an enjoyable stay. The room was spotless and very comfortable. We ate in the restaurant both evenings of our stay and thought the food was excellent.

Helen United Kingdom

Great location, fantastic sized beer garden (unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to spend long sat in it) Well stocked bar Great breakfast offerings including a good vegetarian choice Plenty of space for parking and free

Mikegriff35 United Kingdom

Was a lovely hotel beautifully clean brilliant staff my bed was comfy my daughters was very UNCOMFY but really enjoyed the stay

Hickie United Kingdom

I really want to give this hotel a dreadful report to deter people from booking so that I can keep this little gem of a hotel to myself. Location, location, location right on the edge of Windermere makes this an exceptional hotel with friendly staff always willing to help. I visit at least twice each year and have never been disappointed.

Wateredge Inn stands on the shores of Lake Windermere, a short walk from Ambleside centre. Set across two former 17th century fishermen's cottages, it offers cosy bedrooms and period features.

The individual bedrooms each have an en-suite bathroom and tea and coffee facilities. Rooms also have a flat-screen TV, hairdryer, and a comfortable seating area. Many rooms feature lake views and some have lake view balconies or garden patios.

A traditional full English breakfast is served daily. The popular bar and restaurant serves seasonal local produce and local real ales. Guests can enjoy the log fire, lake views and outside terrace and gardens.

Surrounded by beautiful lakes and mountains, Wateredge has its own boat slipway and jetty and is just metres from the steamer pier for cruises down the lake. The inn is also close to popular walking tracks and cycle paths.

This is our guests' favourite part of Ambleside, according to independent reviews.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

Wateredge Inn has been welcoming Booking.com guests since 11 Nov 2010.
