About Fairlight Guesthouse

Glenridding puts walkers and water lovers right where they want to be, with fell paths starting nearby and watersports on the surrounding lake, while Hadrian's Wall and the wider Lake District are within driving distance for a day out. Fairlight Guesthouse makes a practical base for all of it, with mountain views adding to the appeal of simply stepping outside.

The seven rooms are en-suite, with drinks provided and family rooms available for those travelling with children. Breakfast is a highlight, with a generous spread to set guests up for a day on the fells, and packed lunches can be arranged for anyone heading out walking or cycling. There's a restaurant on site along with a picnic area, and staff at 24 hour reception are on hand throughout your stay. Worth noting: some rooms do run warm, so it's worth bearing in mind if you prefer cooler nights.

Beyond the guesthouse itself, a pub and further restaurants sit nearby for evenings out, and free on-site parking makes it easy to come and go for the walking and cycling routes on the doorstep. It's a straightforward, well-placed spot for exploring Ullswater and the surrounding fells.

Writing I had a wonderful stay at Fairlight Guest House and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I arrived, the host made me feel genuinely welcome with their warm and friendly attitude. The hospitality was exceptional—everything was thoughtfully arranged to ensure comfort and convenience. The guest house itself was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, creating a relaxing atmosphere throughout my stay. What truly stood out was the host’s attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. I would happily choose to stay here again and highly recommend Fairlight Guest House to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay. A big thank you to Nem for such great hospitality!

Dont usually bother giving reviews but I think Faiview is underselling itself with the room for one person I stayed in. They advertise small with electric shower . I found it medium sized, large telly, exceptionally clean,and had all mod cons and the attention of the lady who I think probably owns the place was exceptional friendly and caring. Breakfast was one of the best. Thanks for a perfect stay

Great place to staybin exploring the area. The rooms are clean. I've been staying in this place for the 10 years. I keep coming back. Ullswater Lake is just across the road from this property. Start of Helvellyn walk, is on the th8s property from the car park. Aira waterfall is not far from here. The owner is so accommodating and and always smiling.
