Great location. Nice room with a lake view. Plentiful breakfast. Of note were the exceptionally hard working staff, particularly those working behind the bar and on reception.

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.

Staff were very friendly. Room was spacious and comfortable.
Breakfast was very good
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.
we loved staying at the Wateredge!
cozy room/great food, ambiance
Very friendly especially the dogs
great location right on Lake Windemere
and very clean
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 They still issue actual metal keys for the rooms…not key cards…not sure if this is quaint or horribly out of date.
