Very beautiful location. Only difficulty we faced was unable to use baby pram since the geography is hilly. The old building is not properly maintained. Initially I got room in 52 old building which was bit difficult to stay because of some cleaning substances smell and dark green background in that room makes room dark with negative energy. Anyway they sorted it my giving another room 67 in new building but in that room there was no windows to see the natural beauty. room 68 was very excellent with proper lighting and ventilation. I suggest all rooms should be same like in room no 68.

It was lovely. However, you need to be quite fit to get up to your room. The check in and the breakfast was across the road. This was not made clear . Bit challenging when raining. Even getting the car up the hill can be tricky.

I should have reviewed the rooms better as I booked to go into the lake house not knowing it was up a small incline which was too much for my 81 yr old mum. Rooms are beautifully decorated and has everything you need just wrong location for us.

Great Little Find
What a nice place! Note that this hotel is not directly on the water but just up the hill from the lake. The property was beautiful, the staff very friendly, the rooms clean and comfortable and the food excellent. Note that the check in is in the restaurant at the bottom of the hill and across the street. I would definitely stay at this property if in the area again.
View from the hotel parking lot at the top of the hill.

I gave 5 stars, but not for the Lakehouse at the Waterhead Inn. We arrived there to find no way to get in and waited for 15 minutes in torrential rain wondering what to do. We then walked down the hill to the Waterhead Inn itself to find that the Lakehouse was not actually open, despite being offered on Expedia and despite booking it! We were however very pleased to be offered a room at the Waterhead Inn instead, and at the same price of £109. The Waterhead Inn is excellent, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the rooms are brand new and impeccable, and the breakfast, which was included in the price, was superb and worth half the price of the room alone. The Waterhead Inn is far better than some hotels costing significantly more.
