Wateredge Inn

Set in a row of 17th-century fishermen’s cottages on the banks of Lake Windermere, this relaxed pub with rooms is 11 minutes’ walk from the town centre and 4 miles from Wray Castle.

Quaint rooms feature sitting areas, flat-screen TVs, and tea and coffeemaking facilities. Most have lake views. Upgraded rooms add private entrances and furnished patios.

Cooked breakfast and bike storage are complimentary. The casual pub offers a bright restaurant, and a bar with a lakeside beer garden.
