"The hotel and rooms were very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was varied and the staff helped with my ‘unusual’ request. I didn’t use the Spa so cannot comment. Overall a very pleasant stay. "
"Excellent place. We stayed in room 40 in the annexe for families. It has a big and comfortable main bed and bunk beds for kids. Clean and airy, very large room for family with great size bathroom. Pub food was excellent we had the chicken for dinner with wine all good, and sticky toffee pudding was generous size two could share. Overall a great place and convenient close to grasmere, Ambleside and the zip World. Great stay very pleased."
"Our stay at the Waterhead Inn was even better than expected. The area was perfect - lovely and peaceful (despite it being the bank holiday weekend) but right on the lake, situated just a few meters away from where you can get the boat into Bowness, with 4 or 5 gorgeous beer gardens right on your doorstep. The staff were all so lovely, breakfast was delicious and the room was extremely spacious with huge, comfy beds! Will definitely be returning to this hotel for another relaxing break soon."
"Hotel was fine, but not exceptional. However, there were not enough staff to run the bars in the day/evening. Evening menus were fairly limited and the same each day.
We felt that the hotel was extremely overpriced based on the quality of service provided.
We stayed for 5 nights and each morning at breakfast we were asked if it was our first visit to the restaurant - an indication of how valued we felt as customers!"
"Have stayed before and staff very helpful and any problems they will deal with it. Rooms are lovely and I stayed in a suite with mountain view which is lovely. A fridge freezer and two microwaves are"

"The room was clean and the breakfast was good
The only issue was the stairs to the room as our room was on the 3 floors there were a lot of stairs to climb and we both OAP which was very tiring.
On the hold it was a good experience but we would not stay again due to the stairs."
