Wateredge Inn, Ambleside We stayed at the Wateredge Inn in October for one night and really liked it. The location is perfect, right by the water, and the room was lovely with an incredibly comfortable bed. Everything felt nicely done and welcoming. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was very good too. We’d happily stay here again and definitely recommend it to others.

The room included parking and breakfast. Staff were helpful and friendly. Good location for Ambleside and getting the boats to other parts of the lake. Lovely clean room, good bed and bedding. Breakfast was hot and cold buffet and very good as were the evening meals.

Meh

Unfortunately this one didn’t work for me. The weather was hot, and the room was even hotter. No A/C. Our view was an unsightly roof. The staff chided us for eating our own food even though we purchased beer to drink on the lovely lakeside patio. I accept the rule but it set a negative tone for our stay. The registration area is basically the bar but signage is bad so we had to ask several people just to find it. They still issue actual metal keys for the rooms…not key cards…not sure if this is quaint or horribly out of date.

Senior staff let this place down.

Location great and comfortable nights sleep, however room was unclean, with clumps of long hair in bath. Most disappointingly, the service was very much lacking. The hotel and bar areas seemed short staffed and those who wore casual clothing and appeared more senior had very little in the way of customer service skills - at times barely acknowledging customers. Those that could be commended were the younger staff, in particular those with the branded polo shirts, who were most customer friendly. Such a shame as with seemingly such little support from those in more senior positions and at times belittling behaviour and ‘teasing’, those more talented staff members will likely not be here for long.
