Waterhead Inn

Boutique Lakeside in Ambleside

A boutique hotel sitting right on the shores of Windermere at the edge of Ambleside, Waterhead combines contemporary style with one of the best locations in the Lake District. Rooms offer lake or mountain views, and the bar and restaurant open straight onto landscaped gardens.

Rooms are modern and well-designed, many with views across the water. The AA-rosette restaurant serves quality food throughout the day, and the bar is a relaxed spot for an evening drink. The gardens lead down to the lakeshore.

The contemporary rooms are a cut above, with views across Windermere or up to the fells. The landscaped gardens create a direct connection to the lakeshore, and central Ambleside is just a short walk away. The AA-rosette restaurant makes on-site dining a pleasure.

Waterhead Inn is on Lake Road, Ambleside (LA22 0ER). Check-in from 3 pm. Restaurant open noon–9 pm. Free parking.
