The Inn on the Lake

We had a secret escapes deal at the Leeming House which they had to cancel on the day of arrival for a power cut. Seeking an alternative we booked here. I’d only ever popped in for a drink before so was not sure what to expect. I was delighted when I opened the door of room 119 to find a huge, very recently and tastefully refurbished room. The fell view was delightful. The bed was really comfortable. It was better once the wedding moved out of the way, but I completely understand that hotels need that income. We had dinner in the Orangery- steak for hubby and lamb casserole for me. Delicious obviously home cooked food. Mine would have fed 2!! Wine was good and not a ridiculous price and service lovely. The music was turned down as soon as I asked- can’t see the need for noise everywhere but appreciate I am out of kilter with most places in this. Breakfast was excellent in a beautiful room. Will definitely return. Thank you.

Just returned from a 3 day break. This is a fabulous hotel, in an amazing location, it was spotlessly clean, all staff were so professional and couldn't do enough for you. We had breakfast & dinner, the menu's for both had plenty of choice, all our choices we're delicious & presented by very professional staff. The hotel has a very calm relaxed atmosphere. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend to anyone. Hopefully we'll have a return visit.

We came across this Hotel by chance after being invited to join a driving experience up to the Lake District and decided to book a stay. We are so glad we did. The Hotel is lovely, with a fantastic view out across gardens to the lake.||||We stayed in one of the Lakeview Feature Rooms with Balcony and cannot fault the accommodation or facilities. The room was very nice, comfortable, and the view from our balcony over the gardens and lake were simply stunning. If you are planning a trip to the Lake District, the Inn on the Lake is very well appointed and situated to be able to provide a lovely base from and a great place to return to at the end of the day.

We stayed in a lake view feature room which had a fabulous view overlooking Ullswater lake. The peace and tranquility was second to none and our room was exceptionally clean and well appointed. ||We stayed for two nights and had dinner and breakfast in the Lakeside restaurant which was outstanding, especially having breakfast by the window overlooking the lake start our day.||The staff were all amazing considering they have coach loads of guests and weddings.

We were here for a family wedding. A stunning venue in the heart of the lakes. Gorgeous views, lakeside. Delicious food, great variety of drinks at the bars, friendly staff and well looked after building. I couldn't fault this place, but if I had to, maybe the carpark was a bit small for the size of the property.

We recently visited Inn on the Lake for lunch and had a lovely experience. The setting is charming and relaxing, making it a great spot for a casual meal. We ordered a plain Caesar salad, tempura prawns, pepperoni pizza, and chicken bites. Everything was fresh, well-presented, and tasty. The Caesar salad was crisp and refreshing, the pizza had a good balance of flavors with a nicely baked crust, and the chicken bites were tender and flavorful. The tempura prawns were enjoyable, though we felt they could have been a little crispier for that perfect crunch. Service was excellent — the staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful, adding to the pleasant atmosphere. Overall, a solid dining experience with good food and great hospitality. We would happily return and recommend it, especially for those seeking a relaxed meal in a welcoming environment.

We loved our gifted stay here from a friend. Ullswater is really special to us anyway, but this is the first time we've stayed this end down in Glenridding. It's got everything you need though and it's actually alot quieter than the pooley bridge end! (Plus you can get a boat to that side anyway) The hotel was super dog friendly, it's the first time we've been given a little bed and towel and bowl for him. Usually we pay the extra and get absolutely nothing. Breakfast was great too, plenty of choice on the hot and cold menus. If we're being picky we'd have liked a blind or something in the bathroom because when the lights on everyone outside can see your shadow on the toilet and getting out the bath/shower! The coffees like lattes were also machine ones we think, would've been better if it was a full taller drink. Other than that, can't fault it. One of the nicest dog friendly hotels we've ever stayed in, and our pooch is 9 now! So we've done alot...

Had yet another fabulous weekend at Inn on the Lake incorporating the special Tapas on the Terrace event. The entertainment was fantastic as too the efforts from the hotel team. ||We had a fabulous lake view feature room overlooking Ullswater lake. ||The room was wonderful as were all the meals at the hotel. ||We have stayed here many many times and will continue to do so.
