By Ullswater Lake, Patterdale Hotel offers home-cooked food, a garden terrace and cosy lounges

The Patterdale Hotel sits at the heart of the Patterdale village on the main Penrith to Windermere route. Lying at the head of Ullswater, England's most beautiful lake, the village is in a fabulous central position for exploring the Lake District. The hotel is a popular base for both walking and activity holidays as well as more peaceful, relaxing break. Surrounding areas offer some of the world's most scenic walks and trails, and Keswick, Ambleside and Penrith are all within 15 miles. Close by is the village of Glenridding from where the Ullswater steamer boat offers daily sailing's to Howtown and Pooley Bridge. Other local amenities include water sports and sailing schools, lakeside walks, pony treks and climbing schools. For families, a variety of visitor attractions are within a short drive. Whether you choose just an overnight stay or one of our weekend or midweek breaks the same friendly Cumbrian welcome awaits you and the delights of the Lake District abound.

Start with breakfast, head out for a day exploring, then come back to hearty food and a relaxed drink in the bar.

No pressure, no waiting for someone else to be free — just a few days in the Lakes, your way.

Fuel for the fells 🍂

Autumn is one of our favourite times to get out walking around Patterdale. The air feels fresher, the paths are a little quieter, and the fells start to turn with those deep oranges, reds and golds.

With walks straight from the hotel doorstep, The Patterdale Hotel makes a great base for an autumn walking break — whether you’re heading for a bigger day in the hills or keeping things gentle around Ullswater.

Start with breakfast, pick up a packed lunch to take with you, and simply let the day take you where it wants to.

👋 Meet the Patterdale Team: Courtney

Next up in our Meet the Patterdale Team series is Courtney, our Restaurant Supervisor! 😊

Courtney joined us in April and is one of the friendly faces you’ll find looking after guests in our restaurant.

When she’s not at the hotel, you might find her out on the fells — Blencathra is her favourite hike — and, by her own admission, she’s a little bit addicted to coffee. ☕🥾

Be sure to say hello to Courtney next time you’re staying with us. 👋

Our bar, The Place Fell Inn, is named after the fell that rises above Patterdale and the views that surround us.

Although, depending on who you ask, there may be another story behind the name too… we’ll leave that one for a bit of banter at the bar or some local folklore. 😄

With dramatic fells all around, it’s a relaxed place to settle in for something from our seasonal bar menu or enjoy a refreshing drink while you take in the setting.

A few Lake District touches make it feel right at home here, from the name above the door to a pint of Wainwright.

Muddy boots, walkers and dogs are all very welcome.

Last chance to make the most of our Partner Stays offer!

Our Partner Stays Half Price offer ends 30th October, so there’s still time to squeeze in an autumn escape to Patterdale for from just £55 per person.

Wake up surrounded by the fells, enjoy breakfast before heading out to explore Ullswater, take a walk straight from the hotel doorstep, then come back, put your feet up and settle in for the evening.

You’ll get 25% off our flexible rate with Bed & Breakfast, with the option to add our three-course dinner too.

If you’ve been thinking about a few days of fresh air, autumn walks and a slower pace in the Lakes, this is your reminder to get it booked before the offer disappears. 🍂

Available until 30th October 2026: https://patterdalehotel.co.uk/offers/

Secret to a perfect lawn?

We can’t take all the credit… our neighbours do a pretty good job. 🐑

You really can’t beat the fresh air in the Lakes. Join us in Patterdale for walks from the doorstep, followed by all-day dining and drinks back at the hotel.

How is it October already? 😅 The end of the year has a habit of creeping up on us…

Now’s the time to get something in the diary for New Year. Start 2027 with a few nights away, hearty food, plenty going on and absolutely no hosting or clearing up afterwards.

Our 3-night New Year break in the Lakes includes three-course dinners, quizzes and games, afternoon treats, live entertainment, dancing, drinks receptions and, of course, a midnight toast to welcome in 2027. There’s even a regional cheese and b**r tasting on New Year’s Day, alongside plenty of time to head out and enjoy the winter Lake District scenery.

Come away for a few days, let us look after you and start the New Year surrounded by the fells in Patterdale. 🥂

👋 Meet the Patterdale Team: Paulina

If you’ve stayed with us recently, you may already recognise Paulina and her very warm welcome! 😊

Originally from Poland, she has called the UK home for the past eight years and is currently learning to drive too! 🚗

Whether she’s checking you in, helping with a question or simply greeting you with what we think might be the warmest smile in Patterdale, Paulina is a lovely part of our team.
