YHA Hawkshead ★★★

📍 Hawkshead, Ambleside

"The room was bit dirty, particularly the shower. Definitely bring flip flops. I felt safe throughout the experience (I am a 16 year old girl). The continental breakfast wasn’t bad (apart from the near stale bread.) Good value for money. Not too long a walk from the village."

Windermere Rooms at the Wateredge Inn
8.8 (75 reviews)

Windermere Rooms at the Wateredge Inn ★★★★

📍 Waterhead Bay, Ambleside

"The location is definitely the best, but I felt the service was a bit lacking because the hotel doesn't have a proper front desk, and the hotel and restaurant are quite a distance apart. However, regarding breakfast, remember not to just eat the free dry bread; you can tell the front desk staff what you want for breakfast. Those breakfast items over 20 pounds are free, but the free dry bread might stop running before 10:00 AM."

8.7 (77 reviews)

Lakehouse at the Waterhead Inn ★★★★

📍 Waterhead Bay, Lake Rd, Ambleside

"The most satisfying hotel of the whole trip, I like the layout and color of the room very much, the lake view outside the window is beautiful, sitting on the small chair in front of the window of the room, drinking a cup of coffee, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, it is very comfortable."

Waterhead Rooms & Suites - Parking and Light Breakfast ★★★★
"This place is truly great. Even though it's self-check-in, I believe the owner is Chinese, as they were there to help out. Any issues I raised were immediately addressed, which was fantastic. The room was also very spacious, and it was convenient for driving everywhere. So, if I come back, I'd definitely stay here again. It's also very close to the lake, and the location is super convenient for independent travelers. There's even a laundromat just a 6-minute walk away, which is a huge plus."

YHA Hawkshead ★★★
"We have absolutely loved staying in the Arctic Cabin a few times over the years. However, on our recent visit, we could see that the shared facilities have deteriorated. The cabin could do with a blind on the door window to provide privacy from fellow campers seeing in! The toilets ran out of paper in the early evening and was not replaced until later the next morning. The showers are quite mouldy and could do with some maintenance. The kitchen was lacking sufficient equipment for the number of self-caterers. A suggestion... either encourage people to bring their own cooking equipment or offer kitchen sets for hire with a deposit. If the equipment is not returned or is damaged, the deposit is not refunded. That would encourage guests to clean up and to return all equipment. We will come back but better prepared. We love the communal friendly feel and hope that some updating and maintenance will keep this wonderful YHA location thriving."

Windermere Rooms at the Wateredge Inn ★★★★
"The hotel is by the water, and the front desk also serves as the restaurant's cashier. The restaurant wasn't doing well; you just got your key and found your room yourself—there wasn't much service, haha. You can't be late for breakfast; you have to follow the menu's time. Not even a minute late, or there's no food! The breakfast restaurant has a nice ambiance; you can sit by the water under white parasols, or choose indoor seating. It's about a 15-minute drive to the city center for shopping and dining; there's a private yacht marina there."

"It is a tourist location. Mostly local British tourists. It also happen to be the 10:10 marathon been held. The breakfast was good and sumptuous. Overall I would stay there again if I do visit again in the future. Thank you."

"It's right by the lake, perfect for morning and evening walks. The housekeeping department was almost deserted, and the drain was clogged, but I fixed it myself."
