Fantastic day out!!!! We did the trip from Pooley Bridge to Glenridding. Beautiful scenery. So pretty and the colours were amazing being Autumn. An affordable trip too, which is very appreciated in the present climate.

We took the round trip from Glenridding to Pooley Bridge with a stop off at Howtown. We jumped on the last round trip so didn't get off at all, just enjoyed the trip and the view. Depending on the weather, you might need a jumper while on the boat as there may be a cool breeze as there was when I was on it. There is a lounge that served hot drinks and basic snacks. The staff were fantastic, friendly and engaging with everyone. I can't fault them. And finally, of course, the views were outstanding.

One of the most scenic boat trips in Lakeland, on arguably the most beautiful lake. The boats are classic pieces of engineering & have spent many years sailing around the lake, Ulkswster is 7.5 miles long & a full trip can last up to 2 hours. If you purchase a full journey ticket, you can still get off at other stops to explore, then rejoin the boat later. The boats have both a bar & toilet. I thoroughly recommend taking a trip on an Ullswater steamer, bring your camera. Note' If there are very high winds, the boats will not run as they have no keel.

We did a little boat ride on a weekday. We did a whole trip which took around 2/3 hours I think. On the way to the first stop it was very peaceful and there wasn’t much people so we really enjoyed it. On the way back it was a bit more crowded but it was fine. I like the fact that you can find toilets inside the boat which is very practical. You can also purchase drinks and food. Overall it was a very nice and peaceful ride. We had a great time and the view was amazing.

Beautiful views, lovely trip up and down the river. Cheery crew. Was lots of fun for us and the kids. Can return at anytime they have available so we got to do some swimming and have a relaxed trip back.

We had a very enjoyable day travelling on the Ullswater 'Steamers', the climb up to Aira Force was well worth the effort and the sun shone for us! Knowledgeable and friendly crew made the day a great success.

Great ride to Howtown for the walk back along the shore. Do have a windproof or something warm if an easterly wind is blowing as it is deceivingly cooler than one would expect.

If you are near Ullswater this is absolutely 'must do'! Spending 5 days in Lake District my whole family's favourite thing was Ullswater Steamers. Beautiful views.

Really friendly staff and great affordable boat trips in an area of outstanding beauty. My friends and I got the steamer from Glenridding to How Town and then enjoyed a walk on the fells afterwards. If you're not sure whether to enjoy one of these boat trips just do it. You'll love it!

We had a lovely time out on the water and the crew were all incredibly lovely and funny. They were all also very dog-friendly, treating the dogs just like valued passengers along with their humans.
