Our friendly, family-run Regent by the lake Hotel is idyllically located, by Windermere's beautiful Waterhead Bay, just a gentle walk from the picturesque village of Ambleside in the heart of the Lake District. The delights of Hawkshead, Grasmere, Windermere and Coniston are all a mere 10-minutes' drive away.

We offer a choice of 27 en-suite rooms including Classic Rooms, Garden Rooms & Suites, Courtyard Rooms, Sail Loft and Ground Floor Rooms. The beautifully appointed rooms are equipped to highest standards with TV, DVD player, CD player, tea and coffee making facilities as well as a complimentary PlayStation 2.

You should not miss to visit our restaurant. Our head chef, John Mathers, and his team create an interesting, imaginative and daily-changing menu. Only the freshest ingredients sourced from our finest local producers are used to prepare our culinary pleasures. Feel free to try tasty Morecambe Bay shrimps, juicy Lyth Valley damsons, spicy Cumberland sausage, full-flavoured Herdwick lamb, and of course deliciously sticky toffee pudding. We also offer a late breakfast, diet fares or your favourite dishes on request. To accompany your meal, choose a wine from our international wine list or a beer from one of the award-winning Lake District breweries.

For your free time, we recommend our heated indoor swimming pool, which is also suitable for children. Our hotel is also one of the most dog-friendly hotels in the Lake District. So do not hesitate to bring your best friend.
