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 praise of our food, cleanliness and staff friendliness-things people often mention. All televisions are being replaced during our January closure for ongoing refurbs and general decorating which -we are often told -is much better than most places More

Hotel is very nice, although parking for buses and cars must be a driver's nightmare. Staff very good, especially the restaurant and cleaning staff (and there aren't many of them!). Rooms good and very clean. Showers could do with a drop more water coming out of them! Food was fairly good the first night but got worse as the week... More

I stayed here on the 9th-10th September. The reception staff were welcoming and friendly and the rooms were OK. They were dated and could possibly do with a revamp. However they were clean and serviceable. Breakfast was OK. The sausages tasted quite nice and we got our food fairly quickly. Could have done with larger glasses for the fruit juice... More

The best thing is the fact that it's only a few minutes to the beach. There is by far not enough parking space in front of the hotel and parking can become difficult in that area. The elevator only worked once, the other times it stood on some other floors with a door not properly closed (not the fault of... More
