Our stay at The Angel Inn was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. The team working there consists of truly great people who bring such amazing, positive energy to the atmosphere, making us feel completely welcome the moment we walked in. We had a room up on the third floor, and the view was nothing short of amazing it was the perfect sight to wake up to during our trip. The service was consistently excellent across the board, and the breakfast they served was great, setting us up perfectly for our days out. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great stay with fantastic staff and beautiful views. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We had a great one night stay at the Waterhead Inn back in June on our way back to London. A beautiful location set on Lake Windermere. The hotel rooms were large, comfortable and had a king bed. We really loved our time sitting in the hotel/restaurant enjoying some drinks on a rainy afternoon. The hotel is stunning inside, beautifully furnished. The food and service were excellent.

The room was on the ground floor as I have mobility issues. It overlooked the lake. Having breakfast and dinner on the terrace was particularly nice. The staff was very helpful taking my breakfast to the terrace. The location could hardly have been better. A lovely hotel.

The Wateredge Inn has a lovely authentic feel. It’s a large property that has maintained a cosy and welcoming style with its decor and original features. Beautiful setting with its location right on the lakeside. Our room was tastefully decorated, with a very comfy bed and great shower facilities. Friendly, polite and helpful staff. Large car park at the hotel, no parking issues 😊 thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
