Fodor's Expert Review Waterhead Inn

Lake Rd., Ambleside, Cumbria, LA22 0ER, England

If you want hotel benefits, Waterhead is a good bet; near the water's edge, with good views, it's comfortable and spotless, with excellent service and amenities that include underfloor heating, espresso machines, and even the occasional trouser press. But don’t expect too much character. All 41 rooms are decorated in the same style, in browns and natural colors with slate floors. Discounted rates are often available in the winter; check the website for the latest offers.
