The Inn on the Lake Hotel ia a 4 star hotel that enjoys one of the most spectacular settings in the Lake District in 15 acres of grounds with lawns sweeping to the shores of Lake Ullswater. The Inn on the Lake is only 12 miles from the M6 motorway and the drive is very dramatic with the road curving around the Lake and the backdrop scenery of the fells. There are 47 en-suite bedrooms, all thoughtfully designed with most rooms having breathtaking views, some looking towards the magnificent Helvellyn mountain range, while the majority look over the ever changing Ullswater. Each room is fully equipped with everything you come to expect in this quality 4 star hotel. For that special occasion upgrade to a superior room or one of the very popular, stunning four-poster bedrooms. From the moment you walk into reception you will find an interior that compliments this fabulous setting. This leads through to the popular Lounge Bar where a warm welcome awaits with large bay windows overlooking the well landscaped gardens, which lead to the hotels jetties on Ullswater. Enjoy a drink any time of the day, a light lunch or afternoon tea in the Lounge or on our Lakeside terrace. The award-winning 2 AA Rosette Lake View Restaurant provides something for all tastes, or for less formal dining Ramblers Bar & Candleroom is situated within the hotel’s grounds, offering the option to enjoy a pint of real ale. Gary and his team at The Inn on the Lake Hotel look forward to welcoming you soon.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week in December on a dinner, bed and breakfast package. We treated ourselves to a lake view room and it was absolutely worth it for the stunning views. The hotel was faultless, everywhere was very clean and extremely COVID-friendly. As part of our package, we ate in the fine dining restaurant every night and we didn't need to visit anywhere else, the food was out of this world. Most of all though, the staff made our stay. We felt so looked after, you can tell the team here are very close-knit and take pride in their work. We will definitely be back again to experience such luxury in a magical setting. Highly recommend if you are looking for an escape in the nature of the Lake District.

We frequently visit this hotel throughout the year, today I took my wife and her mum there for a coffee, we sat in lounge as we normally do, waiter took our coffee order, whilst we were drinking our coffee a person came up to our table and said for all to hear enjoy your coffees but you are not supposed to be in here it’s for residence only, no sign warning of this coffee waiter never said and he new we were not staying on this occasion , now if he wanted us to move to another room we would of no problem, but to tell us and then say it’s okay to stay WHATS THE POINT.

Dear Keith Thank you for posting your review, let me start by apologising for the miss understanding. The hotel was closed to non residents over the period of the 3 day Christmas break, this is not the norm but in the current climate we took the decision to protect the guests staying inhouse who had paid a lot of money for the break and needed to feel that there was plenty of space for them to enjoy there Christmas without being uncomfortable. We did put a sign on the door and opened the Ramblers bar and Candle room for visitors who wanted coffee and drinks. You came in sat and was greeted by my bar man , I also said hello to you and wished you a merry Christmas unfortunately the other member of staff who meant no harm or to offend you was just following the guide lines put in place, he is a very nice Spanish gentleman who would never be rude or wish to upset you but since you were sat with coffee should of just let you finish, he has been spoken to along with the receptionist who should of spoken to you on entry. but just to reaffirm he meant no disrespect. These are very uncertain and challenging times especially in this industry where jobs, businesses and livelihoods are at stake, I have witnessed some very out of character behavior over the last month but we all have to understand the unfortunate and worrying situation we are in at the moment but again please let me apologise for this regrettable incident and finish by wishing you well and please stay safe. Kind regards Gary and the team

Where do I start. Just wow. The place is outstanding. It looked from the outside absolutely beautiful, arriving in the car park in December at 4.00pm, Xmas lights, first impressions looks great. Thought due to a review I had read, that it was worn and a little dated inside, don't get too excited, wait until I see inside. Lesson to self don't believe everything you read. Staff, absolutely perfect, all smiles whilst being professional, they genuinely make you feel so welcome. Room, perfect, number 44, with fantastic views, with balcony. Would book this in the summer, not necessary in the winter. Now for the Food and Service, capitals intended. The best me and my husband have tasted, there were no delays with service after each course, it was just so smooth. Was starting to think there has to be a downside, the forever pessimist. Bad sleep, no, just blissful. Breakfast that's where it will all go wrong, how annoying they get, all PERFECT. That word again. I write and post this review with a heavy heart, as I have never been good at sharing. 😊. Book this hotel and you will banking happy memorys. Merry Christmas.…

We have just returned from The Inn on The Lake and what can I say - Magical. It’s our first time in December and the decorations were gorgeous. We tend to visit the hotel for our anniversary in March and we did that this year before lockdown. Then when the hotel opened in July we returned and I have to say we felt so safe and well looked after we returned in Sept, then in Oct and again this week. We always try and book a Lake View Feature room. Well done to the staff and management the hotel is first class from reception, through to the bar staff, the food and the rooms.

This is a fantastic hotel run by brilliant staff in one of the best locations in the Lakes. We stayed on a dinner B&B deal and the food was excellent, service incredibly prompt. The staff went out of their way to be kind and thoughtful, not just efficient, and should be congratulated for managing such a tricky, ever-changing situation with grace and good humour. The hotel followed all COVID related safety measures without it feeling clinical at all. The room was large, as was the bathroom, and we had an incredible lake view. Plenty of long and short walks right from the door, and the Ullswater steamer is a five min walk away from the hotel. We saw red squirrels multiple times just out and about in Glenridding! All in all we had an amazing stay.
