The hotel staff were all welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and clean and the spa facilities excellent. The food and service in the restaurant was outstanding.
I don’t usually write reviews but this place really did exceed our expectations.
Nestled peacefully amongst the Eastern Lakeland Fells and located on many of the best-loved Lakeland walks, this charming country retreat is ideal for a peaceful break in Dockray.

Beautiful old English pub with good old country hospitality. Best meals we’ve had while travelling the UK,a hidden gem worth travelling for. Beautiful country side and wish we had more time to stay and see more.
A traditional family-owned pub in Greystoke, The Boot and Shoe is only a 10-minute drive from the M6 motorway. The Lake District National Park is around 30 minutes’ drive away.

Super cute and cozy. Pub looked lovely and food smelled fabulous- unfortunately we only had a very flying visit so didn’t have a chance to sample it.
Set in a rural location B & B Meadow View in Tirril and it is 3 miles from Penrith.

We were on the way to Scotland, MeadoGoodw View was relatively close to the M6.
Friendly hosts
Excellent breakfast, choice was very good.
Nearby Pub (walking distance) offered good pub food.
Watermillock is like the name of the area. Just odd houses and the A592 which runs through it. I believe that most of the attractions of the Lake District are away from this accommodation. However, Ullswater is visible from the road, and lots of walks and eating places are not far away.

We did a couple of walks along the Ullswater, travelling by steamer and bus as well as by car. It was beautiful and quiet. We enjoyed visiting Pooley Bridge for meals, café and bookshop, as well as meals at Another Place.

Fabulous views form where we stayed.
Fabulous views form where we stayed. It was very near Aira Force Waterfalls a National Trust woodland walk.
It is a good base if you need to take your dog to visit Veterinary Vision in Penrith. The room was perfect for a family

The receptionist at the tail on arrival was underwhelming say the least.
The room was small and rather shabbily furnished. The hotel advertises itself as a four star hotel but is actually a three star hotel. The restaurant food is way overpriced and very poor value for money. There is a 10% service charge on top of the food which is not discretionary as in every other hotel. Other than location there is little else of merit in this hotel and I would certainly not recommend staying there. If you are unfortunate enough to have booked to stay there I would advise that you have your meals on room service which is better value than the restaurant

Our B&B at Lowthwaite was first class, we were very happy to have booked to stay there. Watermillock is set in beautiful scenery around Ullswater. I would love to go again, but would avoid eating at the inn in Dockray next time.

Good location for a two-night stopover, The hotel restaurant was excellent. Hotel facilities were a little dated, but not a big issue. Gardens are extensive, with a short walk to the shore of Ullswater.
Ullswater Lake is our favourite lake and we have stayed in a number of different guest houses in this area. The Ullswater View is now our favourite. Lovely modern rooms and bathrooms, with robes and slippers provided for extra comfort. The breakfasts were lovely, lots of choice, great produce and homemade bread daily. The location is great set back from the main road (very quiet area so no issues with traffic) with wonderful views of Ullswater lake. Would highly recommend this guest house.
We had a lovely stay at Ullswater View. Quick drives to Pooley Bridge, Glenridding and Aira Force Falls. Service was excellent. Great breakfast, very clean facilities, comfortable room. The staff was wonderful and willing to share ideas on where to go. There are several walking trails in the area and the packed lunch from the hotel was perfect for our walk. And the honor bar was very much appreciated after a long day of walking.
The room was small but ergonomically designed so was perfectly adequate. The bathroom was excellent, we liked the simple shower controls. The room looked newly decorated and was spotlessly clean.
Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and the produce was first class.
The B&B is not lakeside but the view of Ullswater and its environs from the room window was very pleasing.
The staff are friendly and accommodating.
We rarely leave any review, but we’ve been really impressed by the kindness of our hosts, and their attention to detail. Quiet and intimate, this is the perfect retreat for a couple wishing to spent quality time minutes away from the gorgeous Ullswater.
Great room, great house and cleanliness is above standard.
Thanks again, highly recommended and we can’t wait to come back!
Excellent guest house with free parking and good access to Pooley Bridge and the Ullswater Steamers and Aira Force waterfalls. It was clean, with toiletries, refreshments and biscuits provided. There was also an honesty bar for drinks and snacks. The cooked breakfast in the morning was delicious! Really nice spot, with lovely view of Ullswater.
Breakfast was exceptional with lots of choices, Michelle was awesome! Although there were no views of Ullswater Lake, there were spectacular views of the surrounding hills and fields. Location was quiet with no surrounding commercial activity but still close to Pooley Bridge with great restaurants and boat cruise pier.
Exceptional selection of gluten free and vegetarian/vegan breakfast options and snacks, and really good and helpful tips for places to go eat or for walks/hikes. Jim was very friendly and welcoming, the b&b is lovely and has a very nice garden and seating area, good location to see the views near Ullswater too
The views are spectacular. It’s a cosy little place, really well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It’s been thoughtfully done with the comfort of guests in mind. It’s only a short drive from Pooley Bridge, which has two great pubs, the Ullswater steamer and shops. I didn’t want to leave.
An exceptionally beautiful and well appointed super modern property it was a privilege to stay here.
Clearly a great deal of thought, love and expertise have been put into this property and it is stunning with undisturbed views of ullswater and surrounding mountains.
We will be back thanks again!
Cosy, well equipped, great location for walking. Close to buses if your doing the Ullswater way. In fact its on the Ullswater way if you want to do it in one hit. Pooley bridge is close by. As is Penrith for food shopping. We really enjoyed our stay there. The view is wonderful. Would go back.
location was breathtaking. perfect for myself and pet dog. we were given a room which opened directly to the garden which lead down to the Lake. extended my stay while there. staff were really helpful and friendly. nothing but countryside surrounding hotel. several good walks nearby.
Beautiful view . Good location . Lots of space to sit in the hotel in elegant rooms / conservatory. Choice of eating outside on veranda. Rooms with balconies or direct access to outside
The Views of Ullswater Lake were amazing
The Location was great - and with a Bus Service in both directions at bottom of lane
