About The Ullswater Inn
The Ullswater Inn sits in Glenridding at the southern end of Ullswater. It combines a relaxed pub atmosphere with comfortable accommodation for couples, families and walkers.
Spend time by the lake or return from a day outdoors to a meal and a drink. Its village location puts local amenities and Ullswater outings within easy reach.

The inn has 56 en-suite bedrooms, including double, twin and family options. Facilities include Wi-Fi, flat-screen televisions and tea and coffee making facilities. Views and layouts vary, so check the room you select.

Take a look around
Pub dining, local ales and a relaxed welcome
The pub serves breakfasts, lunches and evening meals, with seasonal dishes, familiar pub favourites and Sunday lunch. Children’s dishes and vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Enjoy local ales, wines or hot drinks indoors, or take a seat outside when the weather suits. Book a table for busy periods, check current service times and discuss allergies or dietary requirements with the team. Dogs are welcome in designated dining areas.
Exploring Ullswater and the fells
Glenridding is a useful starting point for Ullswater boat trips and activities. Check the Ullswater Steamers timetable before planning a cruise or combining a sailing with a walk.
The surrounding fells offer more demanding outings, including routes towards Helvellyn. Choose a walk suited to your experience, the weather and available daylight, or enjoy a gentler day around the lakeshore.
Before you book
Free on-site parking is limited and first come, first served. A chargeable 24-hour car park is across the road. Check meal inclusions and cancellation terms for your booking.
Access varies: some lower-ground rooms and the lower bar are accessible, but the small lift to the upper dining area cannot accommodate a wheelchair. Discuss your requirements directly. Arrange dogs in advance, confirm the supplement and ask about room space if bringing your own travel cot.
