We're no strangers to the lakes and we are no strangers to staying and visiting The Wateredge Inn. We stayed in July for my dad’s Birthday, it was amazing and such a lovely spot. last week we stayed in Bowness and we had a trip over to see our fave spot! We went for a birthday meal, and I have to say If this had been my first visit I wouldn’t rush back! The large portly man behind the bar was very unfriendly and for many years I can safely say the staff here have been A* however he was drab, snappy and a person who is never wrong! We asked for Cava with my partner being Spanish and his birthday it would have been a nice touch we rudely got snapped at and he said what is it the 80's nobody drinks that! (clearly never been to Spain) I do believe he was trying to be funny but just came across passive aggressive! I said Well who drinks prosecco to come back from his rather abrupt comment his right handman who clearly loved to stick up for buddy snapped and said why do you think we sell it! It was all very silly and unnecessary to attempting to argue with a customer who asked for a drink. The best response would have been ‘Very sorry we don't but we do have prosecco? but we'd rather have a very odd interaction & one which left us a bit off guard. I have left a 3 star rating because the food was fine and usually it’s a very nice place so I’m hoping we just caught the staff on an off day, I will say though it costs very little to smile but makes a big difference!

This hotel is unexpectedly good, especially when compared with another hotel in the Lake District, it highlights the goodness of this hotel! It is large in size, warmly decorated, and has a nice balcony. The location is good, the door is the green area by the lake, and it is also very close to the town center. There is a British fan especially during the morning meal. Definitely recommended!

There is a bar/lounge on site, where guests can relax with a drink. Free wireless internet access is available in public areas. The hotel is Victorian in style and offers a garden and dry cleaning/laundry service. Free hotel parking is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Ambry Lake House is a smoke-free property.

Facilities: Very good Hygiene: clean Environment: Safety Service: Very good Recommended very good place! Don't miss it Hope to have a chance to come again. The location is very good and convenient. There is a parking lot. Comfortable and wonderful experience

We used to stay here when it was the Regent Hotel, but this has all changed now. The Regent no longer exists , and has been fully converted to bedrooms, with main building being across the road “ The Wateredge Pub” rooms are good. However. …..We had booked in for 3 nights, but had to move on our second day as the electrics in the room were faulty. It was only after we moved that I realised it was one of the rooms where they allow dogs, and I could smell a doggy smell. I wasn’t going to move again - too much hassle. It’s a shame there is no longer a comfortable lounge to sit and read etc. only the pub across the road. Breakfast was fine.( included in our stay ). But the evening meal are very expensive in my opinion. £ 18 for chicken and a corn on the cob……..chips etc cost extra. £17 for a pork chop and sauce .”……..all veg extra at £4:50 per portion for EACH veg. Ridiculous! Staff are very friendly . Would I stay again ? probably not I’m afraid. But it was ok.

Last minute I night stay to celebrate wedding anniversary. Stayed 5 years ago when hotel was part of English Lakes group, it has not changed much since then - some new outside furniture was all I noticed . And this is the reason for 4 not 5! Location, food and staff all great. And this is a great dog friendly hotel in the true sense that dogs can eat and stay with you in bar area and staff actively welcome them - which was one of the reasons for our return visit. Room 30 which is wheelchair accessible - just - (not for someone who is not independent as bath only and shower is fixed head) was ok. Comfy bed, nice view, convenient if you are wheelchair user. But stained carpet, rusty trims and grubby grout and cracked floor tiles in bathroom. Paintwork bashed and carpet creeping out from under door plates. Think room is overpriced for its current state. Would stay again in the hope that issues with the room will be rectified with a refurb/refresh.

Had a lovely visit to The Three Shires last week and today we discover that it now has new owners! We have visited many times over the past 46 years (we honeymooned there!), and have never been disappointed. Last week the food was superb, and our stay was so comfortable and relaxing Thank you to James and Tony for the amazing times we’ve had, and to all the staff for their attentiveness and kindness We look forward to visiting again soon, and wish the new owners the best of luck in their new venture. Please don’t make too many changes, we love it the way it is!

Was anxious about staying here after reading the trip advisor reviews but I shouldn’t have been. The room was nice and spacious, clean, centrally located and had an en-suite. No issues checking in or with the parking. As with everything nothing is perfect. The location can be noisy but you have to factor in you’re staying on one of the main streets of a busy town centre so it’s expected. Personally I would stay here again as the noise really wasn’t that much of an issue, it wasn’t enough to wake two young children.

We have just returned from a 4 day break at the NDGH. We have stayed there a number of times before and had a wonderful time on each occasion. This was no exception. The location is magnificent and the hotel provided everything we needed to make our break exceptional. The food was excellent, the staff were always helpful, and the room was comfortable. Thanks go to Diane and her colleagues. We really appreciated what you did to make our break memorable. See you again soon.

Stayed 4 nights absolutely wonderful everybody was so very helpful Big Breakfast set you up for the day Room was so very comfortable couldn’t ask for any more Will definitely go again perfect location for touring the lakes Great view from our room
