Ask about the unique locally brewed ales. sampling them enhances the experience, especially if you enjoy trying local flavors.

the bed was super comfy, slept like a baby! loved the sound of the weir outside, made it feel really cozy. the staff were chill and helped us find a good spot to sit. also the beer selection was great, they brew their own! nice vibe overall.

but the room was small and the shower was tiny. had to wait a while for our food at dinner and breakfast, was kinda annoying.

staying at the watermill inn & brewery was such a delight. the cosy ambience made us feel right at home. the bedding was super comfy, and the food exceeded our expectations. we loved the generous portions! being away from the hustle and bustle was a bonus, and it was a short walk to nearby convenience stores. the ample parking made everything even better.

Lovely locally brewed ales

my stay at the watermill exceeded my expectations compared to my last visit to windermere. the room had a charming decor, and the food was absolutely delicious, especially the locally brewed beers. the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout my visit.

Excellent on-site brewery with a superb range of gluten-free options made for a delightful dining experience. The staff was attentive, ensuring my needs were met, and the food was fantastic, especially the scrambled eggs. Although the atmosphere was homey, it's a good idea to book a table for dinner, as nearby alternatives are limited.

I really enjoyed my stay here, especially sipping coffee on the lovely balcony while watching horses in the fields. There’s also a nice sun terrace and a peaceful garden area that were perfect for unwinding. The only downside was the low ceiling in my room, but it didn’t ruin my experience at all. ☕

I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere at Watermill Inn & Brewery. The decor felt warm and welcoming. Our room was clean and the bedding was really comfy, ensuring a good night’s sleep. The food exceeded my expectations. both dinner and breakfast had generous portions and great flavors. I particularly loved the steak pie. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our stay even more pleasant. I did face some inconveniences. There was a strong smell of wet dog in the room, which was quite off-putting. The bathroom lacked proper heating. One morning, the extractor fan outside made it impossible to open the window until it turned off. I also noticed that check-in was a bit confusing and slow. More seating options in the dining area would be nice for comfort. it was a nice stay, but those small issues could use some attention.

Had a blast with friends! We spent our days exploring the Lakes, hitting up the Lakes Aquarium and Brockhole Visitor Centre. After our wild adventures, we enjoyed tasty meals, especially the steak pie. The place was clean and staff were super friendly. Plus, dogs were welcome! Great breakfast too.

The cozy pub atmosphere was great, but the evening meal took too long.

Exceptional food quality with friendly service!

The cozy ambience created a home-like feel, enhanced by the charming decor throughout the establishment. Unique locally brewed ales stole the show, and the large portion sizes meant you wouldn’t leave hungry, especially after enjoying the hearty steak pie.

The dining area felt less comfortable than expected due to hard seating and bare tables, not encouraging extended meals. During my visit, the wait times for meals were notably long—especially at breakfast—which dampened the experience a little. There seemed to be a limited evening menu as well, a factor that could affect dining choices wanting variety.

Unique ales and cozy atmosphere

Staying here was such a delightful experience. the cozy ambience and the unique selection of in-house brewed ales made our visit memorable. The food was well-prepared, with generous portions that exceeded our expectations. I especially appreciated the friendly and genuine hospitality from the staff. the dining menu could benefit from having more extensive options for dinner.

Great food and very friendly staff. Room felt a bit cramped for solo traveler.

The dining area was charming and inviting, making me feel at home. The thoughtful layout ensured easy access for seniors like me, and the lovely decor combined with the warm atmosphere was simply delightful.

More seating options for comfort would be nice.
