Pros
Family and dog-friendly establishment with pets allowed in all rooms for £7 per night
Extensive drink selection including 14 house-brewed beers and a comprehensive wine list
Spacious beer garden for outdoor dining and relaxation
Strategic location near multiple Lake District attractions including Grizedale Forest and The World of Beatrix Potter
Cons
56 miles distance from Carlisle Lake District Airport
Limited to casual pub dining rather than formal restaurant service
“The Watermill Inn & Brewery, a short bus ride from Windermere station, distinguishes itself with its on-site microbrewery, a true draw for ale aficionados. Its dog-friendly approach, extending to both rooms and dining, is genuinely welcoming, a refreshing change of pace. I appreciate how the inn combines its quiet village setting with access to Lake District attractions.”
