Christmas at the Waterhead
The Waterhead is the Lake District’s only four star townhouse hotel and the perfect location to enjoy a truly special Christmas.
The interior is stylish and luxurious belonging firmly in the twenty-first century, but the exterior views are timeless with the Bar & Grill and many of the 41 rooms looking out over a tranquil Lakeland setting with a backdrop of Wetherlam Fell and Coniston Old Man.
Our aim at Waterhead is for you to unwind, relax and completely spoil you with our sumptuous selection of culinary delights throughout your stay.

2012 Christmas Breaks - Programme
Christmas Eve – Monday 24th December 2012
Following a warm welcome and glass of our ‘secret recipe’ homemade mulled wine on arrival, a traditional Lakeland afternoon tea will be served in our Bar and Lounge with stunning views over the Lake to the fells beyond. Suitably refreshed why not discover the delights of Ambleside to buy that last minute Christmas present, or alternatively relax and unwind in our bar and lounge with a glass of your favourite tipple.
Mark Needham, General Manager, and his team then welcome you to the evening celebrations with a champagne and canapé reception, followed by a luxurious four course dinner in the stylish surroundings of the Bar & Grill Restaurant.
It’s then time for our ever-popular casino night, with blackjack, roulette and the wheel of fortune game. The local parish churches welcome the community and visitors alike for midnight mass and a glass of mulled wine will await your return to the hotel.
Christmas Day - Tuesday 25th December 2012
Our chimneys will be swept in anticipation of a seasonal visitor who will greet you with presents and a glass or two of Bucks Fizz prior to a full Christmas breakfast. Although we’re sure that for many the rest of the morning may be spent opening gifts, why not enjoy some stimulating and invigorating Lakeland air on the traditional Christmas morning walk, along with the equally traditional half-way glass of mulled wine! Hopefully, you’ll now have some space for our traditional six course Christmas Day lunch served with all the trimmings, followed by the Queen’s speech televised at 3pm in the bar. Join us again in the evening for a light but sumptuous buffet supper, the rest of the evening being relaxed and informal and the perfect opportunity to unwind following the exertions of the day.
Boxing Day - Wednesday 26th December 2012
Relax and enjoy a well-earned lie-in! Brunch will be served in the Bar & Grill. Following this, you could take advantage of a complimentary cruise on Lake Windermere or tackle this year’s Treasure Hunt around Ambleside.
This evening’s three course dinner will feature our chef’s twist on some traditional British Pub favourites served in the Bar & Grill, keeping with the theme it’s then time to assemble your team for the Waterhead Festive Pub Quiz with prizes for the lucky winners.
A drink or two overlooking Lake Windermere will round off a memorable and relaxing Christmas at The Waterhead.
Thursday 27th December 2012
Following a final hearty Lakeland breakfast the team at the Waterhead will bid you farewell and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.
