Windermere Rooms at The Wateredge Inn, hotel in Ambleside

Windermere Rooms at The Wateredge Inn are located in the heart of the Lake District, surrounded by fells and lakes.

The breakfast was lovely and the room was immaculate. We emailed the hotel prior to our stay to ask if we could park the car late morning on the day of our arrival and we received a prompt reply confirming that we could do this. It was our first visit to the Lake District and it won’t be our last. The accommodation was perfectly situated and only a short distance from Ambleside. We will definitely return and would certainly recommend this accommodation.

Skelwith Bridge Hotel, hotel in Ambleside

Located on the outskirts of Ambleside, Skelwith Bridge Hotel offers en-suite accommodation with free on-site private parking facilities.

Check in was straight forward. I had asked for an early breakfast, and after a little confusion, this was sorted out and a packed lunch was prepared for me to collect. My room was very pleasant, exceptionally clean and comfortable. Everything that I needed in the en suite was there and everything worked correctly. Plenty of external parking and nice countryside location.

    It was our first visit to Ambleside and we weren’t disappointed. We had a meal at Luigi’s which was amazing. The staff were very friendly and I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I am a fussy eater. The weather was glorious so we had a few drinks in the beer garden at the Royal Oak pub. Ambleside was about a 15minute walk from our accommodation, Windermere Rooms at the Wateredge Inn.

    Great location for exploring central Lake District.

    Great location for exploring central Lake District. Lots of interesting shops, bars - even Michelin starred restaurant which was stunning. Lake shore and beaches are lovely - east to hire SUP, canoes, kayak,motor boats.

    A very busy place even though it was not peak season. We stayed across the lake from Ambleside and it was much quieter and prettier. Be prepared to pay for parking and toilet access in all public areas in the Lake District and only a credit card is acceptable for payment.

    Ambleside is a good starting point for day trips around the lakes. There are plenty of restaurants including a Michelin restaurant...advance booking advised. There is a waterfall 20 minutes walk from the town centre. Pubs with live music most evenings. Windermere is only about 7 minutes by car or half an hour walk.

    The area itself is amazing, loads of pubs, bars and restaurants around all offering various meals, I would book in advance for most of them to avoid disappointment. Pitch & putt really good or mini golf for families. plenty of walks around and further if you desire. regular bus service to other areas of the lakes.

    Don't really leave reviews but I think the briery deserved one. We were greeted by gentleman on the front desk who was very welcoming from the get go. Nice quiet little bar where the bartender was very helpful regarding food arrangements as we had our dog with us, regarding the dog friendly hotel they do so much more...they accommodate for the dogs with a welcome bag and even arranged dining in the bar area so you're dog could come along. Great stay!

    Like everywhere in the Lake District, the Wateredge seems to be having issues with staff. However, the staff there were all really friendly and worked incredibly hard. The hotel and location were perfect. We plan to return to Wateredge in the near future. Thanks, for a lovely stay. Also, we took our dog and it was very dog friendly.

We had a dog friendly room which was perfect. 20 minute walk into Ambleside which we enjoyed. We eat at Lucy on a plate which was fantastic (need to book) and again was dog friendly. Staff were lovely would stay again.

    Breakfast was great and plentiful. It was a very dog friendly hotel and we were able to sit outside comfortably with our dog. They had also thougtfully left treats and a dog bed for our dog in the room. The hotel was also a little out of town but within a few minutes walking distance. Staff were welcoming and helpful.

    Nice, decent size and bright room with spacious bathroom that met our expectations. In the heart of Ambleside, which is a little gem of a town. Whilst the hotel rooms are above the pub and in the town centre, there was very little noise and we had great nights sleep.

    It was self-catering, so there was no breakfast. The accommodation had everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. The location was great for traveling around the Lake District and it was very convenient to walk in to the village to the pubs and stores.

    Lovely location, very central to Ambleside and a short drive to Windermere. The property was very dog friendly, and provided towels to dry down muddy paws. Beautifully decorated rooms that were immaculate. The room was lovely and quiet, no disturbances.
