The Inn on the Lake Hotel enjoys one of the most spectacular settings in the Lake District in 15 acres of grounds with lawns sweeping to the shores of Lake Ullswater. Ullswater is the second largest lake in the Lake District being approximately 7.5 miles (12Km) long and 0.5 miles (0.8Km) wide with a maximum depth of approximately 205ft (62m). The valley was formed through glacial shifts and shaped as it is today, by years of turbulent geological activity. You could enjoy a trip on Ullswater with Ullswater Steamers which is a five minute walk from the hotel. The Inn on the Lake is only 12 miles from the M6 motorway and the drive is very dramatic with the road curving around the Lake and the backdrop scenery of the fells. There are 47 en-suite guest rooms, all thoughtfully designed with most rooms having breathtaking view, some looking towards the magnificent Helvellyn Mountain Range, while the majority look over the ever changing Ullswater. Each room is fully equipped with everything you come to expect in this quality 3 star hotel. For that special occasion upgrade to a superior room or one of the six, very popular, stunning four-poster bedrooms. From the moment you walk into reception you will find an interior that compliments this fabulous setting. This leads through to the popular Lounge Bar where a warm welcome awaits with large bay windows overlooking the well landscaped gardens, which lead to the hotels jetties on Ullswater. You could enjoy a drink anytime of the day, lunch or afternoon tea. These can be served in the Lounge or on our Lakeside terrace. The award-winning Lake View Restaurant provides something for all tastes, or for a less formal dining The Ramblers Bar, situated within the hotel’s grounds, offers the option to enjoy a pint of real ale. The hotel also has its own outdoor activities including pitch & putt, croquet and children's outdoor play area. Gary and his team at The Inn on the Lake Hotel look forward to welcoming you soon.
