Welcome to the Brackenrigg - an 18th century coaching inn overlooking Ullswater in the heart of the beautiful English Lake District.Our guests enjoy stunning views of the lake and the surrounding fells from our dining room, bar, lounge, terrace, garden and from most of our comfortable, en-suite bedrooms.The general quality of the facilities is, of course, what you should expect from an AA 4-Star Inn. We offer a number of touches, though, which give our guests something special - these include the genuine warmth of our welcome and service, whether you're staying for a drink, a meal or overnight. We are open 7 days a week all year round for food, drink & accommodation. Many of our guests stay on our popular mini-breaks because of the superb quality and value for money of our award wining food, appreciated by visitors and locals alike. We offer a very flexible range of rooms … from affordable standard rooms … to superior rooms … to ground floor suites, one of which has full disabled facilities. Each suite can also be combined with a superior room upstairs to form a spacious apartment, ideal for families and small groups. PLEASE NOTE: We are a 4-Star Inn - this is different to a 4-Star Hotel (the new UK grading system for serviced accommadation can be a bit confusing at first sight if you're not used to it) . You'll not find full-on 4-Star Hotel facilities at the Brackenrigg - what we offer you is more like a 2 or 3-star hotel - but with all the added charm & friendliness that comes from being a cosy & characterful Inn...!All of our bedrooms are en-suite - some with shower only and others with bath & shower. We have excellent wheelchair access to our public areas: bar, lounge and dining room. 3 of our rooms are dog-friendly and, of course, we also welcome guide dogs. Several of our rooms are ideal for families, too.We can offer activity options, a secure cycle shed and a wealth of local knowledge to guests as well as very flexible conference facilities to small business groups. Our excellent, well-chosen range of wines and local beers complement the menus perfectly and our bar, with its local character and open fire is there for you to relax in even more. What makes us a really special place to stay, however, is our food. Locally-sourced food and a superb selection of fish dishes feature very strongly in our carefully chosen menus and it's all cooked to order on the premises by our own chefs.Many of our guests return time after time - why not discover the Brackenrigg for yourself and find out why?
