Nestled on the peaceful shores of Derwentwater in the beautiful Borrowdale Valley, Mary Mount Hotel offers a welcoming and relaxed retreat in one of the most celebrated landscapes in the Lake District. With uninterrupted lake and fell views, a cosy country-house feel, and direct access to scenic walking routes, the hotel is perfectly positioned for guests looking to unwind, explore, and immerse themselves in nature.

Whether you’re joining us for a weekend getaway, an active escape, or simply a tranquil break to recharge, you’ll feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

We proudly welcome dogs and are ideally suited for guests who enjoy walking, hiking, cycling, wild-swimming, and connecting with the great outdoors. With acres of grounds, stunning lake access, and some of the region’s most iconic trails on our doorstep, Mary Mount Hotel is your base for authentic Lake District adventure — with warm service, rustic charm, and a sense of escape that feels truly unique.
