The hotel was perfectly located for walking. The room was very clean there was just some lipstick/ makeup marks on the bathroom wall which I didn't expect as the room was expensive. But overall it was a luxury experience. Breakfast was nice

Nice hotel and the bar downstairs served nice food. The rooms however were very hot, we were provided with a fan and had the windows open but it didnt help much. We booked a room with a lake view and it is not much of a lake view more a car park view.

Lovely stay!

Great hotel - perfect location for the scenery. Staff were polite and helpful, but clearly a little bit short staffed. Slightly eccentric layout - the only indoor route to the bar is via the lift. We really enjoyed using the swimming pool every day and the chips in the bar are the best I have ever tasted! We would happily stay there again next time we visit the Lakes.

Clean hotel in a good location

Nice hotel with a great recent refurbishment. Rooms and restaurant are clean and comfy. Location in Glenridding is perfect for Ullswater Lake, National Trust sites and some good walks. Only issues we had were the hotel running out of buffet style breakfast one morning, they did then offer to cook anything off the main breakfast menu instead. Then the hotel ran out of hot water so we had cold showers after a morning hike.

The staff were very nice & efficient. The meals were very good. Family room poor for 3 adults. Decor dated. Multi level facilities on ground floor. We were led to believe there was a restaurant; this was not the case, it was bar meals in a noisy environment with people playing pool and loud music playing. The location is somewhat desolate for non-hikers.

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.

Property is great, location fantastic however guy who checked us in was rude and not very courteous to the extent he said He shouldn’t be here, our room was set up for 2 people not the 3 adults we had booked for, when we reported this at reception he came upto our room and when I opened the door his words were you guys are hard to please, we reported this to the general manager who wasn’t really bothered this is probably because it is her husband, given we paid £280 for one night I thought the level of customer service was terrible, I would not stay here again under this management
