The Waterhead Inn in Ambleside in the Lake District, owned by the Inn Collection Group, has reopened following a multi-million pound refurbishment.
Beginning in October last year, the renovations have created additional bedrooms and a total revamp of the venue’s bar and restaurant facilities.
The work has effectively doubled the size of the bar and restaurant after converting ground floor rooms into an area with a mix of booth seating, free-standing chairs and sofas.
Work has also been carried out on the outdoor terracing areas, with a wealth of indoor and outdoor seating to give guests views of the lake.
A completely refurbished kitchen has seen investment in a state-of-the-art broiler, allowing the site to offer a premium menu with a special focus on its grill section.
Daryl Hardy, general manager, said: “We are thrilled to have completed the refurbishment of The Waterhead Inn and to be launching another extraordinary site back into service.There has been a phenomenal amount of work put in over the last nine months which people will see from the moment they come through our doors. It is a real credit to everyone who has worked on the project.
“The transformation from what was a very traditional hotel style into a warm and welcoming inn has created something very special and I can’t wait to see and hear people’s reactions when they see it in person.”
