Our room was more like the size of a small apartment. Well furnished with view of the water.

Charles United States of America

Excellent location on the edge of the lake. Quaint with comfort accommodation above a restaurant/pub. Easy walking distance into Ambleside.

Nickyh United States of America

Warm welcome and so dog friendly 😊 Very comfortable room and bed, good room service too.

Maureen United Kingdom

Lovely staff & premises with a exceptional location.

Michelle United Kingdom

Perfect location, super friendly staff, lovely breakfast, big room.

Katie United Kingdom

The dinner and breakfast were very good. If anyone is worried about cleanliness and procedures to minimise the risk of transmission of Covid 19, this is the place to stay. They are very thorough. The location is fabulous and the view from the dining room is spectacular. The car park is on site and had plenty of space.

Gillian United Kingdom

The location was excellent on the edge of the lake with lovely views and just a twenty minute walk into town. Our room was spotlessly clean,, very comfortable and well decorated with side view of the lake. The food was very good, both evening meals and breakfasts in the dining area overlooking the lake. The staff were friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. We felt very safe in relation to Covid with plenty of measures in place.

Debbie United Kingdom

Everything was very clean, the bathroom very comfortable, the room whilst not big was cozy and charming, the staff was friendly and helpful

Jack United Kingdom

Friendly staff. Very good choice on the dinner menu.

Margaret United Kingdom

We booked two single rooms for myself and my sister and they were really good. Both were fairly spacious, one more than the other. Both had lake views, one better than the other. Often single rooms are below the standard of the double rooms but not here. We were both very pleased with the quality and the location of the rooms. Would recommend to any single traveller in quality and value for money.

The individual bedrooms each have an private 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 yards from the steamer pier for cruises down the lake. The inn is also close to popular walking tracks and cycle paths.
