The Waterhead Inn- The Inn Collection Group is a refreshingly metropolitan-style 4-star hotel amid the traditional offerings of the Lake District's central honey-pots, with Waterhead Pier handily opposite and an easy stroll from Ambleside centre.
Comfortable Room Options
These generously sized twin rooms are perfect to share with two single beds and a wide range of facilities with lake or fell view options. The Waterhead Inn rooms feature fully equipped en-suite bathrooms, complimentary WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and tea/coffee making facilities.
Brasserie-Style Dining
Serving delicious pub fayre and well-kept drinks all day, every day, the restaurant offers an above-average, brasserie-style menu. Guests look forward to relaxing with one of fine hand-pulled house and guest ales in the cosy bar or on the sunny terrace in summer time.
Ideal Exploration Base
The Inn Collection Group aims to combine real beer, great food, and comfortable rooms within each of its venues across the north of England. With plenty to explore in Ambleside, the hotel is an ideal base, while excellent public transport links direct from the front door open up the wider attractions of the Lakes without the need of a car.
Lakeside Location
This popular country inn sits just off of Windermere, the UK's largest lake, 80 km from Carlisle Lake District. Nearby attractions include Wray Castle (10 minutes drive), Grassmere Gingerbread (15 minute drive), and Coniston (20 minute drive).

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were great and very clean, but they seemed smaller and more expensive than expected. The service was friendly but just okay for the cost. The location was amazing, overlooking the water and near Ambleside, although a bit of a walk to the center. The dining was extremely poor and expensive, so be cautious if not on Room Only.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room I had was fabulous with a view of the lake, and the small packet of ground coffee for the coffee press was a nice touch. The service was top-notch, with excellent attentive staff, particularly in the dining room. The location was perfect, right on the lakeside and close to Ambleside. The dining options were varied, and the hotel's facilities were great.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The room was perfect for us with 2 dogs, offering private access and a stunning lake view. While the rooms aren't soundproof, they were lovely, with a comfortable bed, a beautiful bathroom, and delightful little touches like Grasmere gingerbread. I appreciated the tea and hot chocolate facilities and the onsite filtered water in sealed bottles.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was a bit pricey for a solo traveler and lacked some of the listed items. However, the tropical feel at night and the charming view of the lake with local gingerbread were delightful.
Rooms

The room was slightly overpriced for a single guest and was missing some specified amenities. Yet, the tropical ambiance in the evening and the picturesque lake view, accompanied by local gingerbread, were truly enjoyable.
Service

However, the rushed pace of serving the courses left us feeling a bit hurried, preventing us from fully savoring the food.
Location

The location was truly stunning, right by the water offering a lovely view. However, some areas were not as clean possibly due to a delivery truck early in the morning. The proximity to the water and ferry departure point was convenient.
Dining

The dining experience was delightful, especially with the selection of Gluten-Free breakfast options and delicious muffins. However, some areas appeared unclean and may have affected the overall dining atmosphere.
