The Waterhead Hotel
Lake Road, Ambleside, LA22 0ER, United Kingdom – Excellent location – show map
Excellent location – rated 9.6/10! (score from 555 reviews)
Rated by guests after their stay at The Waterhead Hotel.
Lake side location. The hotel and room were modern inside, but the outside blended nicely with the surroundings and kept an older décor. Approach the hotel from the south and turn left just before you arrive. There is parking behind the hotel on its lakeside.

Fabulous location. We had a lake view room. We could watch the sun set over the lake. It was great to be able to park in the hotel car park and not use the car again until we left Ambleside. We had dinner in the hotel both nights (unusual for us). Fantastic food and service.
