Watermill

Two miles from Windermere in Ings, this resolutely traditional inn is exactly what you'd expect from a Cumbrian pub – beamed ceilings, whitewashed walls, log fires, hand pumps and all. Throw in old-fashioned pub grub and a wide choice of ales, including home-brewed Collie Wobbles, and it's no wonder it's scooped lots of local awards.
