The Inn on the Lake is situated on the shore of Ullswater in the village of Glenridding and is a great place to stay if you are planning a walking break in the Lake District. With Helvellyn close by and beautiful low level walks along Ullswater, whatever type of walking holiday you’re after, there are plenty of walking routes straight from the front door of the hotel.
Start each day with a delicious hot or cold Cumbrian Breakfast to set you up for the day. Grab your pre-ordered packed lunch and head out the door with Lake District Hotel’s very own walking guide to the Lake District, only £2.50 for residents and it’s packed full of stunning Lake District walks which start from the steps of the hotel.
If Ullswater is experiencing more weather than you anticipated for your stay, Catstycam the Outdoor Shop is just across the road from the hotel. They have a great range of footwear, clothing and accessories and excellent local knowledge.
After your day out why not enjoy afternoon tea in the Lake View lounge or sip a pint of real ale whilst enjoying the views across lake Ullswater whilst planning your next walking break in the Lake District! Or if you want to continue the day’s activities why not try pitch and putt on the lawn or take a cruise on the Ullswater Steamers.
Finish the day with a hearty meal of local culinary delights followed by a night cap at the bar before you fall into your comfortable bed.
Stay at the Inn on the Lake and your walking break in the Lake District is certain to be a fantastic one!
Picnic lunches available on request (extra charge incurred) – please order at reception the night before.

It’s not unusual for our guests to ask our receptionists and members of staff if they can recommend any good walks in the Lake District. After all when you come to stay with Lake District Hotels, 9 out of 10 of our guests are here to enjoy the beauty of the area and want to get outside and explore.
It was for that reason that we decided to produce our very own walking book especially for those who come to stay in our hotels. Walk the ‘Lakes with Lake District Hotels’ guide book is now available to our guests for free if you have booked onto one of our walking breaks. Find out more about our walking book....
