Beautiful property and the restaurant and food was delicious! Staff friendly and check in easy Our double room was cute with a little sofa area and table and chairs next to a cute little window overlooking the rear car park but … with a view to the lake I love old properties like this and it was decorated lovely too The negatives .. No towels in room so had to get these ourselves Weird ‘old peoples home’ smell around as a whole but sheets smelled this way too It was very clean just this odd smell around Parking very limited but you can find local parking for under £10 for 24 hours Overall good stay, happy with room and would stay again But do prefer another hotel nearby if I had a choice

This place was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious for dinner, but I gave it a four rating overall because the interaction with staff did not seem that welcoming. The rooms were wonderful and comfortable beds. Door exited right out to the parking lot and lake which was nice and the town was very quaint. We walked up here from patterdale from the Coast to Coast trail which was well worth the extra 10 minute walk. I was disappointed not to see any Coast to Coast memorabilia in the information office as this town is recommended in the hiking books for stopping overnight.

Great place, stayed in glenridding many times but not here. Lovely staff and stay, gripes were the dust and cleanliness of the room. £260 for a room, very dusty, marks on the bedding, socks left on night stand from previous stayer, marks on bathroom mirror, windows left with hand and finger marks too. We only stayed for 1 night so wasn’t toooo bad but still, £260 and having things like that for me aren’t the best. Everything else was lovely though. 24° really warm, and couldn’t use the fan as it’s covered with dust, as soon as it goes on it will cover the room.

Ullswater Inn deserves 10/10 stars. It is truly remarkable. Beautiful, historic, classy, and fun. It ticks all the boxes for an exciting and convenient getaway to the Lake District. Sitting in the heart of Glenridding, it is convenient to other shops and recreational property such as a park and multiple hiking routes. Although check-in requires navigating a labyrinth due to the renovations to such an old building (if you come in from the rear), it is well worth it and adds to the mystique of the property (check-in is at the bar). Rooms are spacious and more than adequate. The bar and restaurant are arguably the highlight of the property. The free breakfast is more than enough with multiple options and additional to order options. Lunch and dinner menus also offer a wide variety of options that were all phenomenal. Grab a seat, enjoy the views of the lake and peaks, and enjoy a pint! You will not regret it.

This hotel was comfortable, well staffed and had a nice pub downstairs that offers dining. The Ullswater was within walking distance of the docks berthing older steam boats, very interesting. I recommend it.
