"The breakfast was superb. We tried the evening menu special which was a Pheasant breast.It wasn't the best I've tasted, it was nicely presented but it was rather salty and dry. The bed mattress provided a good nights sleep and the room was spacious and clean. Well worth the 5 stars"

"This is a decent place to stay if you go in with expectations in check. It’s roomy and cozy, with conveniences like a washer/dryer, dishwasher, stove/oven/microwave, and some cooking equipment. Lighting is good, lots of outlets is a plus. Internet functions fine, don’t expect blazing speed but certainly adequate. Easy access to dumpsters/recycling is also great. Local area is cute and walkable, convenient if small town shopping is your bag. Be aware parking is tight if you have a larger...

"The property was immaculate. Every room was very clean and tidy. Very comfortable for 2 adults, not sure how 4 adults would feel as it might be a bit on the small side, especially if you are tall people as the ceilings are low. Parking might be a bit tricky. There is space outside for one car, although the road is narrow at that point. There seems to be space on the next road along though, or as the owner suggests in the nearby pay carpark. Its handy to walk into Ambleside or down to the lake as...

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Waterhead?
The most popular time to visit Waterhead is during the summer months, particularly July. This is when the area comes alive with vibrant outdoor activities and stunning views, as the weather typically ranges from the mid-60s to low 70s Fahrenheit. The pleasant climate invites you to explore the beautiful lakeside paths, enjoy leisurely boat rides, or simply relax at one of the charming local cafes.

During the peak season, from June to August, Waterhead is bustling with visitors eager to experience its natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The warm weather is great for hiking in the nearby hills or participating in water sports, making it an ideal time for active travelers and families to immerse themselves in the great outdoors.

For those who appreciate a more tranquil experience, consider visiting in early September. While the peak tourist season begins to wind down, the weather remains pleasantly mild, often in the low 60s Fahrenheit. This transition period offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the stunning autumn colors without the summer crowds, allowing for a more intimate connection with the area.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Waterhead hotel for you.
