Excellent location but we expected more for price
Excellent location but for the price we paid for a family suite we expected more.
That said, the service on checking in was brilliant, the breakfasts were nice, if a little chaotic on the second day (first day was buffet, second was via ordering). Evening pub grub wasn’t bad.
The beds were comfortable and the room was clean but we had some trouble with a broken lock. We paid extra for late checkout (12 noon as opposed to the 10.30 standard) but we think 12 noon should be the standard.
I’d start again but not at the price we paid.

Definitely would recommend and stay here.
Only criticism was that a dog was barking for quite a while in the dining / bar area. Don’t blame the dog but the owners should have taken the dog out. Def the Inn needs to introduce a 3 bark and your out rule.

Wateredge is dated but clean. My only real disappointment is that our heater did not work so they gave us a space heater which I was not a fan of. It is pricey for the quality of amenities but the rooms are large. There was one staff member Rhys who was awesome! The other staff l encountered were not as helpful, beautiful views and surroundings on the lake… but checkout is 10:30 am sharp and there was really nowhere to check bags.

Nice hotel right on the shores of Lake Windermere with boat rides within 2 minutes walk. Onsight restaurant and bar and lovely comfortable rooms. Even tough our room was beside a road it was very quiet. Also a leisurely 20 minute walk into Ambleside town

Mostly enjoyed the stay! Only downside was we could hear everything going on in the dining area from our room, including chairs being moved about and full conversations. It affected our sleeping schedule.

Busier that expected, next door up until the early house chatting outside of room, tried getting into our room at one point.
The place looked like a quiet chilled out place on advert, it wasn’t. Still a decent place to stay just not what I expected.
