Outstanding location with great views. Two minutes' walk to the lake, or one minute's walk to the fell. Peaceful, relaxing, a haven of quiet. Great beds and high-quality bedding for a good night's sleep. Pubs and restaurants close by: a couple are walkable, others a short drive. Step out of the handsome house (no need to drive anywhere first) for... More

Some friends and I spent one night at Waternook on the way south from Scotland. It is very convenient for the M6, being only 20 minutes from the junction, and is in a lovely situation overlooking the lake. We had a deluxe and a standard room between us: both had very comfortable beds. The deluxe room had the biggest bed... More

My (now fiance) booked Waternook for us so that he could propose!!! Dominic went above and beyond and helped him plan the whole thing to perfection. He put the Champagne at the end of the jetty in time for sunset and the impending proposal, he helped make the whole experience magical!! I cannot rave about both Dominic and Waternook enough,...

Everything about this place oozes with excellence. Our gracious host, Dominic sets the standard in every aspect of this bed & breakfast. Its location alone fronting Ullswater with Hallin Fell literally in its backyard by itself is a driving point to stay here. However, on several other aspects would I choose to stay here. Our room was very clean and... More

I was recommended Waternook by a friend who had previously stayed with her partner and I have to say I was not disappointed. The B&B views are breathtaking and can be seen and enjoyed from every window that you look out of. The host Dominic was very welcoming and gave me and my friends lots of information/recomendations for things to... More

We stayed at Waternook, and thoroughly enjoyed every single moment! The location is absolutly superb, in fact could not be any better! With great walks in every direction. The room was spotlessly clean and the beds were the best we've ever slept in, with a beautiful view of the lake. The breakfast was cooked to perfection, and was a delicious... More

This place is a little gem, its beautifully done out with sensational views a real 10/10. I went here with my partner and it was the most romantic place we have ever stayed and the hospitality was amazing, the manager went out of his way to make us feel welcome. I would definitely recommend this place
