Beautiful clean boutique-y hotel. We loved our stay here and the food was amazing. Grasmere is so cute. We stayed here on our way on the Coast to Coast Trek. Scones and coffee and tea are available throughout the day. Very beautiful location along a river.

I was greeted by the very helpful Oscar, who checked me in and carried my bags to the room. The room at the back of the inn (101) was nicely decorated and clean with a super comfy bed / linen. You have access to ‘Another place’ pool / sauna which was a bonus. Enjoyed dinner with live music on the Friday evening and pleasant breakfast the next day. The inn looks over the beautiful Ullswater lake. I will definitely return.

We liked the room, the breakfast, the location, the friendliness of the staff. In fact there wasn't anything we didn't like. The pub has a nice atmosphere in the evening. The food was excellent. Nice home cooked food and good size portions.

Pooley Bridge is a fascinating place (village? town?)

Pooley Bridge is a fascinating place (village? town?) I'll be back soon. The huge wood above is a walkers paradise and apparently there are remains from way back on top. D'you know any walking and'or cycling guides? That would be really useful for us townies. Another feature I'm interested in is the fact that Ullswater is the source of a river, not the other way round...... can you work out which river? Cycling down to Howtown is cycling bliss. The question is can you go over the top further on down?

Glenridding is a beautiful place to visit lots to do .

Glenridding is a beautiful place to visit lots to do . You can hire boats go on a ferry to Pooley bridge go walking lovely cafes & especially The Ramblers that was beautiful for morning coffee so highly recommended Glenridding.. And as for the beautiful scenery what more could you ask for 10 & a load more stars 🌟 just being around the lake people watching & relaxing as long as you’ve got the weather. There’s a lovely cafe just by the lake & again the views sheer bliss I don’t do walking but am happy to soak up the beauty that is Glenridding. There is a bus that takes you to Penrith or Windermere 508 & it’s a great place for walkers too ..

We have stayed in Watermillock for 2 nights. We had excellent experience. The property is very big. Rooms are good size. Outside garden with well running just next to it is amazing. WIFI was a bit slow, but with all of us using mobile network, we did not mind at all. Highly recommend and would surely come back again.

A small village - but very near to the M6 so easy access to a beautiful part of the lakes. The pub is a great traditional pub - we had a few drinks after walking before we had dinner at our accommodation. Very friendly. Beautiful countryside and no through traffic. Easy to get to Pooley Bridge or along Ullswater. Close to 3 smaller Wainwrights as well for those wanting to climb a bit higher. Aira Force is very close and makes a great walk - around 2 hours or so to the top of Gowbarrow via the falls - wonderful for a picnic lunch! Loads to explore from here - one visit just isn't enough!

There are some great shops, a lovely Bookshop cafe, run by two great women where we had a great cup of coffee and some toast and marmalade. They were very friendly and after we looked for some books. Not all places are wheelchair friendly, so you may have to Google it for yourself.

Glenridding in cooler weather is calm, peaceful and friendly. The village stores on the corner has friendly staff, all shops have good stock. Hotels are welcoming. Easy to stroll round the village for short leg stretches and there are many footpaths to set off for more challenging routes. Easy access to the waters edge from the village. An excellent roadside path to Patterdale, its interesting church, another hotel and pub, and further walking routes. Bus connection to the rest of the lakes and Penrith. Ullswater Steamers have a main jetty and there is a yacht club. By St Patricks Well, only 2 minutes walk from the village, there is a lovely cafe, boat hire and other recreational facilities.

Patterdale is stunning, beautiful scenery and great walks right from the start. Not too far to walk to Glenridding, about 15 - 20 mins where you'll find a couple of shops, cafes and pubs. A nice place to sit after a walk is the In on the lake where non residents can use the hotel for a drink or something to eat. You can also get the steamers from Glenridding and walk / sit by the lake. There is a bus that runs from patterdale too. The White lion pub in Patterdale is a great place for a drink and dinner, great food and cosy atmosphere.
