The Waterhead Inn

With Waterhead Pier handily opposite and an easy stroll from Ambleside centre, The Waterhead Inn, and the Lake House, is an ideal springboard into the magnificent Lake District and gives many an option, whether you’re stopping off for a relaxing drink, enjoying a spot of good, home-cooked food with superb views to match or winding down with a pub stay away.

With plenty to explore and experience in Ambleside, The Waterhead Inn is an ideal base, whilst excellent public transport links direct from the front door open up the wider attractions of the Lakes without the need of a car.
Serving delicious pub fayre and well-kept drinks all day, every day, the warm and friendly team will make sure you’ll fit right inn as you relax in wonderful surroundings.

Your dogs are more than welcome at The Waterhead Inn! We have designated dog-friendly areas of the pub and restaurant, with water bowls and treats available – including our selection of Sir Woofchester’s dog food range.

We also offer pet-friendly hotel rooms in a select number of rooms across our inn. Please let us know whether you will be bringing a pet at the time of booking to ensure availability, and so we can allocate you accordingly. Your four-legged friend can be added to your booking for £15 per pet, per night.
