We stayed in the ‘Windermere rooms at the Wateredge Inn’ as a last minute break with our pet. In our opinion the short stay ticked every box from arrival to departure. The staff were all friendly and polite. The Inn is at the edge of the lake with plenty of seating both inside and outside looking out onto the lake. Parking spaces were plentiful on arrival and offered many more spaces than others we had looked at. We dined at the Inn with our pet and food portions were adequate and met our expectations. There is a very good selection of rooms (especially if you don’t have a pet), our room was a pet friendly and was very clean and appliances were all in good condition. We will stop here again and would definitely recommend to others looking for a place to stay in this area. Thank you to the staff and management for making our experience a good one.

Room was clean tidy and lovely surroundings of the hotel with a few different bars to drink and eat around it view of a lovely lake also. Was a bit loud very early in the morning with doors slamming woke us up and kept us awake earlier than we would of liked but overall an amazing spot with amazing views staff were lovely and very helpful towards us. Bar staff were great to talk to and was nice connecting with other guests who told us more about the hotel and the area.

Staff were great, bed was extremely comfy, breakfast included was decent. The only negative was the condition of the room being quite run down but the bed and A/C made up for this.
