The Waterhead Hotel

Lake Road,Waterhead, Ambleside

For six months from November 2003, the Waterhead Hotel underwent a £2.7 million refurbishment and extension to become the Lake District's first four star Townhouse Hotel. You are now invited to experience the most contemporary and luxurious surroundings, staying in bedrooms with the most modern, yet user friendly, equipment, including CD/DVD players and flat screen TVs. Whilst the Waterhead's facilities have been transformed, what has remained is the relaxing Lakeside setting and superlative views over Waterhead Bay with its backdrop of Wetherlam Fell and Coniston Old Man. Probably the most spectacular time to appreciate the view is as the sun sets behind the fells, the sky turns crimson and the lake reflects this beauty. Now picture yourself admiring this majestic natural spectacle from the comfortable surroundings of the Bay Bar and Lounge whilst being presented with a glass of your favourite tipple. Or allow yourself to be pampered with our courteous, friendly, anticipatory and professional service in the Bay Restaurant. The menu features local produce imaginatively prepared and presented. Lessening the number of 'food miles' (distance from producer to plate) is an important consideration for Chef Michael Weston-Cole. Should you fancy something more energetic, then the fells beckon from our doorstep, or you can utilise the complimentary membership of the Low Wood Leisure Club, which is located less than a mile from the Waterhead. Facilities include an indoor pool, sauna, solarium, gym and beauty treatments.

I booked the day before as a treat for my Mum's 83rd birthday. She loved every minute. It was pricey at £168 for bed and breakfast (dinner bill £73, excluding coffee). No regrets though as a one-off treat. You get what you pay for and it more than lived up to our expectations. Elegant hotel with good restaurant. Excellent room with lake view. Windermere is a stone's throw away. Easy parking, and the hotel let us leave the car there after check-out while we went on a lake cruise (boats depart from outside the hotel). It was a bit of a trek to the shared spa at a nearby hotel, but worth the effort - well appointed leisure club with nice clean pool, jacuzzi, sauna & steam room.

Excellent - a beautifully updated hotel with charming staff and a great location. Quite pricey, but you get what you pay for!

The hotel was fantastic with great views over lake Windermere and ideal for the Waterside ferry point. The atmosphere in the hotel was friendly and the rooms were clean, modern and very comfortable. The restaraunt was spotless and the food quality was excellent.
