About

There’s something truly special about being by the water and The Wateredge Inn in Ambleside captures that magic perfectly. Perched right on the shore of England’s most famous lake, it’s the kind of place where you can sit back on the waterfront terrace, feel the gentle breeze off Windermere, and watch the ripples dance across the water as you relax with a drink in hand.

But it’s not just the views that make this spot unforgettable. From hearty, home-cooked pub favourites to locally inspired dishes, our all-day menu is brimming with flavour and served with a smile. Whether you’re fresh from the fells, savouring a lazy lakeside afternoon, or celebrating a special stay, The Wateredge Inn is the perfect place to eat, drink, and unwind in the heart of the Lake District.
