A multi award-winning inn with up to 12 handpulls owned and run by the same family for nearly 30 years. It has consistently maintained CAMRA aims and objectives. As the name indicates, it's a former watermill with several rooms – one with a window into their brewery – all served by a central bar area. Windermere Brewing Company beers all have doggy themes - regular canines have their own webpage and menu!

Information for this venue is provided by the Westmorland (Solway Sub Branch) Branch of CAMRA
