The Inn on the Lake

The location of this hotel is beautiful, great surrounding scenery and a very cosy vibe, especially in the bar area. . We had a beautiful room with stunning views of the fells. It was spacious and clean. Unfortunately during our visit there was construction work at the hotel which meant builders banging and drilling between 9am and 4pm. Not too much of an issue as we were out and about during the day but still you don’t find out about this until you arrive at the hotel. Upon check in nothing was mentioned about the construction work and the receptionist although polite, failed to mention that the ramblers bar area was also closed for the duration of our stay. This would have been helpful to know prior to our visit as there is not much else in the surrounding area in the way of restaurants and we had planned to eat there one evening during our stay. We had a lovely meal in the other lakeside restaurant (which was open during our stay) however the breakfast both days was incredibly poor. I ordered eggs Florentine and my poached eggs were totally under cooked and inedible. To summarise - this is an ok hotel but we have stayed at much better elsewhere in the lakes for less money. Considering the price guests should be made aware of limited facilities at the hotel and rooms should be at a discounted rate. There is much room for improvement as our experience was no where near a four star rating. Based on my experience I honestly don’t think I would return to this hotel.

I didn't even go to this establishment, and I've heard nothing but bad things about place. horrible tasting food, half frozen food, and bad service. while I don't want to assume it's always like this, it could have done a lot better, hopefully soon

Kind helpful staff & great service Yesterday we called for a snack type of lunch after meeting my daughter off the Ullswater Steamer We were lucky enough to get a window table with a great view up the Lake too This bar is dog friendly ( don’t know if any other bits are) Very impressed because I’m Gf & I got a super scone Warmed & delicious to eat Lots of fresh cream & gorgeous strawberry jam Exactly right & Baileys hot chocolate to drink Really impressed
