We stayed at the Ullswater for a two night bed and breakfast break at the end of March. We had the bonus of fantastic weather and found the hotel to be in a wonderful position not only for the beach, but also the town centre and parks were within easy reach-about a ten minute walk away. Breakfast was very good... More

Stayed here for 4 nights during the hottest week so far this year- the central heating was on! Unable to close valves on room radiator. First impressions of exterior and reception area was drab and dreary. Small bar area and lounge quite cramped - fortunately the hotel was not fully occupied.Entrance to hotel covered by canopy which facilitated as a... More

Many thanks for your review. You came on a budget holiday -the whole 4 days costing about £88 for dinner, bed and breakfast-total. Unfortunatley, in the hotel fraternity , we often find the cheaper the tour the more people expect. Try paying more and then see what value for money you really received here compared to a lot of the... More

We stayed in the Ullswater for the weekend as we were at a wedding in Bournemouth. This is a great little hotel. The staff were all friendly and helpful and the hotel is so close to the beach. The breakfast was excellent and was served with great efficiency by pleasant and friendly staff. Our room was large, clean and had... More

What a find. c. 50 yards from cliff top walks and paths down to the beach. Tremendous welcome. We advised them we were arriving a little late and they kept food hot for us. All staff were friendly. Hot meals were served hot. Good portions & well cooked. Really tasty food. The rooms we had were a good size. My... More

We stayed at the Ullswater for their twixmas break last week and really enjoyed our stay. Could do with a bit of updating as it seems to be in a seventies time warp and I think because of this it appeals to the older clientele. To keep it simple, great room, great location, lovely food and lovely friendly staff, We'd... More

We spent four nights over Christmas as part of a coach party. We had full board and many extras including nightly entertainment, a visit to the local pantomime and a mystery drive around the Purbeck Hills. There was some spare time to visit the nearby beach and Bournemouth shops. The food was fantastic! Full breakfast every day and lunch and... More

If you want a hotel that offers- poor communication regarding overbooking (without any apology) and general unhelpfulness, then this is the hotel for you. We travelled many miles only to be told that we were to be moved to another hotel as the Ullswater was closed on the following Monday! Parking was diabolical with a coach parked right across car...

Many thanks for your kind words. Its good to hear you all had such a good time, which makes our work more enjoyable. The three items you mention: staff friendliness, good food and cleanliness are , in fact , the things we strive to achieve as we believe these are the most important. We look forward to welcoming you back! More
