The Waterhead Hotel is a 2 star hotel with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and lake. Its long established gardens run down to the water's edge from where guests can have a tour of the lake on a solar powered boat.

The Waterhead is often viewed as a ‘home from home’ by many regular guests, and it is the perfect place to explore all the Lake District has to offer, from outdoor pursuits including canoeing, rock climbing, 4x4 driving and abseiling, to relaxed walking and cycling routes or a cruise around Coniston Water on a steam powered yacht.

Ideally located opposite John Ruskin’s house, we are 5 minutes drive from a horse riding school and Coniston Boating Centre where you can hire a boat. We are also just 10 minutes drive from where Beatrix Potter’s house and 20 minutes from South Lakes Animal Park.

Relax with a drink in our bar with views across the hotel lawns down to the lake, or enjoy fresh, locally sourced produce in the hotel's popular Mountain View restaurant.

Free parking. Lake and mountain views.
