Ullswater is a beautiful part of the Lake District not to be missed. On the shores of Ullswater, the Best Western Glenridding Hotel is perfectly placed to explore the best of what the Lake District has to offer, from breathtaking scenery to the homes of William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. The hotel is surrounded by a variety of walks and beautiful views from almost all rooms. The hotel is ideally situated for touring the Lake District. The Best Western Glenridding Hotel boasts two function rooms, the largest of which can hold 120 people for a formal function, plus a restaurant, and a traditional pub which serves real ale and has low oak beams, flag stone floors, and a warm Cumbrian welcome. Guests on Business have a choice of two dedicated conference suites. There is also a coffee shop plus an indoor swimming pool and sauna. Friendly and helpful staff are waiting to help make your stay a memorable one. We have a stylish lounge for unwinding with a beautiful Lakeland Slate fire place and elegant chandeliers. The oak lined Campbell Library has a billiard table for those of you with a competitive spirit. The Library is dedicated to Donald Campbell, who is famous for becoming the first person to break the 200 mph water speed record on Ullswater back in 1955. He announced his achievement to the waiting press from a balcony which is now the Library sun lounge. The Library contains a lot of interesting information about Campbell's time at Ullswater, including an original signed menu from the celebration dinner held at the hotel.
