Breakfast was very good although there were a lot of supplimentary costs for some dishes which was a little disappointing as breakfast was included in the cost.
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 bedrooms with attached bathroom and TVs.
Nestled peacefully among 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.

The room was clean and comfortable with a beautiful mountain view! We ate dinner and breakfast there and the food was delicious! The staff was gracious and helpful. Will definitely stay here when we're back in the area!
Located in the north of the Lake District, this inn is set in the charming hamlet of Troutbeck. It offers bed and breakfast accommodations, free Wi-Fi and free on-site parking.

The setting and the scenery was lovely especially when it was raining at night and the log burners inside make it sound warming and the food and drinks are top notch the Guinness pie is quite a handful as is the big burger
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.

Very good staff. However, been above a pub the room was quite noisy (which wasn't a huge issues and to be expected) but sometime after closing.
Room was very small and the cleanliness wasn't the best - which probably explained the invasion of flies.
The Sun Inn in Penrith provides accommodations with a bar and a shared lounge. Both free Wifi and parking on-site are available at the bed and breakfast free of charge.
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.
Lovely looking building set high above the Ullswater lake beautiful scenery to look out the bedroom window. The Inn was warm, with friendly staff and made our stay very pleasant and enjoyable, always ready to serve and nothing any trouble even down to a jug off water with the evening meal. Lovely bedroom with en-suite and all meals presented well and cooked to perfection. The location was Brilliant to be able to get about the district and visit different towns although we come to the Lakes frequently it was great to have scenery to look at.
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 only had one night at the Ullswater View, we stayed in the room with the whirlpool bath and my only regret is not staying longer. The staff were friendly and welcoming; the room was stunning - and comfortable! - the bar worked on an “honesty” service (although we didn’t use this), and the breakfast was amazing. Everything was 5 star and we will definitely be staying here again.
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!
A great variety of choice for breakfast, well presented. The location is superb as this is really 'off the beaten track' but Ullswater, Pooley Bridge and Keswick are easily accessible. Endless opportunities for walks both long and short, demanding and relaxing. Lots of wildlife, red squirrels and birds.A good 'leg stretcher' to Aira Force waterfalls
The incredible location - the hotel grounds go right down to Ullswater and we could walk there in the morning before breakfast on the terrace (weather permitting). The bed was very large and very comfortable and our room had a balcony with a lovely view (although the other room which our teenagers were in was rather dark and overlooked the car park)
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.
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.
An excellent accommodation that suited the 3 of us just fine. Just like being at home, with all the usual comforts of home. Spacious, warm, comfortable, beautiful outlook across to Ullswater, quiet and really quite isolated.
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.
