First opened as “Ullswater View Boarding House” in 1904, Old Water View has been welcoming walkers, travellers and holiday makers for over one hundred years.   Alfred Wainwright stayed here on a number of occasions whilst he was creating the world famous “Coast to Coast” walk, the route of which passes within 100 metres of our door. Old Water View is very “walker friendly”, and if you should happen to arrive with us slightly “damp”, we will try to ensure that you leave the next day fully refreshed, and in dry clothing and boots!!
