About the Hotel

Lake Road, Ambleside, United Kingdom, LA22 0ER

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).
