Looking ahead to the latest reopening, which will take the number of bedrooms available with The Inn Collection Group across the Lake District to 432, group CEO Sean Donkin said: “Exceptional locations are very much a group USP and The Ullswater Inn has this in spades.

“It is a classic Lakeland site with a strong reputation earned over the last century and a half and one that we are aiming to enhance with our careful refurbishment.

“We are very much looking forward to welcoming guests again after a year-long refurbishment and are confident that they are going to be delighted by what the inn will offer.”

Transforming the former reception and communal areas has created a traditional style pub complete with log burning stoves, and seating to provide 254 covers, with feature windows giving views over the village and the surrounding fells.

A pleasing colour pallet of dark greens and browns creates the look and feel of a traditional countryside inn, whilst a mix of fixed and moveable seating with leather and fabric coverings provides comfortable places to relax.

For spring and summer days, an expansive outdoor seating area for 140 covers is adjacent to the babbling waters of Glenridding Beck further adding to the appeal and charm of the site.
