About The Watermill Inn & Brewery
Walkers, cyclists and beer enthusiasts will feel most at home at The Watermill Inn & Brewery, a pub-hotel in Staveley with its own brewery on the premises. It suits travellers who want a proper base near the Lake District without the fuss of formal hospitality - somewhere to come back to muddy-booted or saddle-sore and be served a pint brewed downstairs.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, free WiFi and drinks available in room, and breakfast is served each morning to set guests up for the day ahead. The restaurant and bar are open to residents, with a garden for warmer days and 24 hour reception for flexible arrivals. Pets are welcome, making it a practical choice for those travelling with dogs. Free on-site parking is available throughout the stay.
Staveley itself is well placed for walking and cycling routes into the surrounding countryside, with fishing, horse riding and golf all nearby for those wanting a change of pace. Additional pubs, bars and restaurants in the area mean there's choice beyond the inn's own kitchen, and entertainment nearby adds another option for evenings.
