Loved the pool, the relaxing bar area and foyer. Loved the accessible milk outside the room and fresh water. Friendly staff. Great pillow menu (V shaped would be a welcome addition)
Good activities for children - mini golf.
Just outside of Penrith, the Brantwood Hotel is less than 3 miles from Ullswater. Just one mile from the junction 40 of M6 it offers en suite bedrooms and TVs.

Everything! Wonderful staff, great quality food and lovely welcoming atmosphere.. cosy bar area , conservatory and pretty garden to sit in. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here.
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.

Perfect Lake District hotel. The lads tht run the place couldnt have been more friendly nor helped any more - whether it was bowls for us to have an early breakfast in our room, newspaper to dry out sodden boots or our numeros drinks and food orders, they were all excellent.
Hotel is lovely, oldy worldy but comfy bed, great shower, smart tv, opening wndows, easy parking, great food and drink! Breakfast was excellent.
We had a great stay and we will be back!
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.

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.
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!
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.
Have eaten here many times but this was the first stay, the first of many I will add, the staff couldn't be more attentive, evening meal as usual was fantastic! accommodation was clean with amazing views from each window, ideally located for exploring ullswater and the North lakes, and the breakfast was superb!
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.
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.
The view overlooking Ullswater was lovely .The room was spotless , had 2 chocs waiting for us on arrival . Dressing gowns and biscuits were also left in our room which were little extras . There was an honesty bar and a lovely conservatory. The breakfasts were well cooked with decent options.
this is truly a dog friendly hotel. Our 2 Irish Red Setters were welcome as much as we were. earlier in the year we experienced a dog friendly hotel which was basically lip service. we would definitely recommend this hotel if your taking your dogs.
This beautiful b&b was a short drive from Ullswater Lake where I was taking part in a chill swim. We were close to breathtaking walks. The breakfasts were out of this world. Both hosts were friendly and very helpful.
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
Tea, Coffee, Sugar, milk & wine supplied
We were very impressed by the Hotel Staff from the great receptionist to the bar staff etc. Breakfast was amazing true value for money. Thanks so much we will return.
