About Fairlight Guest House

Fairlight puts you in the centre of Glenridding, with village shops, places to eat and the shores of Ullswater nearby. It is a convenient base for a few days exploring the valley.

Spend a morning by the lake, plan a walk into the surrounding countryside or explore nearby Patterdale. The village setting suits visitors who want to enjoy the area and return to a comfortable room without a long drive back.

Double, twin and family rooms

Fairlight has seven en-suite bedrooms, including double and twin rooms and family options for three or four guests. Tea and coffee facilities and televisions are provided, and some rooms have views towards the fells.

Ground-floor accommodation with a walk-in shower is available. Discuss your access requirements directly before booking to confirm the entrance, bathroom layout and room suitability. Check the exact bed arrangement, occupancy and child-age policy for your chosen room and rate.

Breakfast and the Fairlight café

The café serves breakfast, lunches and lighter refreshments, with teas, coffees, cakes and scones. There is indoor seating and an outside area for enjoying a break in the village.

Check current opening days and seasonal hours before planning a visit. Confirm breakfast inclusions with your room booking, and let the team know about dietary requirements. For evening meals, explore Glenridding’s other places to eat and check their service times.

Explore Glenridding and Ullswater

Ullswater’s shore and the Glenridding steamer pier are close by. Check sailing times for a lake trip, or take a gentler stroll around the village and nearby paths.

Glenridding is also a well-known starting point for walks towards Helvellyn and the eastern fells. Choose a route suited to your experience, the weather and available daylight. Patterdale and Aira Force offer other options for exploring the Ullswater area.

Before you book

Confirm parking and arrival arrangements directly with Fairlight, particularly if arriving late. Check breakfast, cancellation terms and the number and ages of everyone in your party before choosing a rate.

Fairlight is non-smoking and does not accept pets in the B&B or inside the café. Discuss assistance-dog arrangements and any mobility needs with the team before booking.
