The Mary Mount Hotel

The Mary Mount Hotel - A lakeside retreat with panoramic views, wildlife encounters, and hearty Cumbrian dining

Set in its own grounds on the shore of Derwentwater, The Mary Mount Hotel offers a peaceful escape with views of the lake and surrounding fells. Rooms feature en-suite bathrooms (except Room 17), tea/coffee facilities, free Wi-Fi, and some include underfloor heating and lake-facing views. Breakfast includes a buffet with juices, cereals, and fruit, followed by a full Cumbrian breakfast served at the table. The restaurant serves lunches like Mary Mount platters and children's meals, while dinner includes meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes, all with panoramic lake views. Guests can access Derwentwater via a nearby ferry pick-up point, and the Coast to Coast walking route passes the hotel. Wildlife enthusiasts may spot red squirrels and abundant birdlife near the dining area.
