Excellent food. Had lunch on the Friday - was delicious. So then booked the Christmas menu for Sunday with friends. Every meal and course was delicious. The service was faultless. Highly recommended.

We checked your web site and it said you don’t take bookings for tables only special occasions. Thanks for that! We met my sister who had travelled an hour and us 45mins at 6.30 to get a table early as couldn’t book it and a lot of tables had reserved on so I asked behind the bar and said sorry fully booked!! Please change your website…..so annoying but you did us a huge favour because we went to the Strickland arms and it was excellent. Three of us had fish and chips which were lovely and tasty and one had homemade chicken and leek pie.

Stayed here last night would’ve stayed two nights but they were full. Rooms lovely clean and comfy. The dogs were made very welcome getting little treats of the bar staff for being good. Food was gorgeous huge portions we had the beef pie and water mill chicken and full Cumbrian brekkies plenty of choice on all the menus. The husband whose only carling drinker loved their beers they brewed even bought a case to bring home with him. Plenty of private parking and staff were lovely and friendly. Will definitely returning in the the spring

I enjoyed staying at the Watermill mostly because it was close to where I wanted to be. Room comfortable and clean and I love that the hotel is pet friendly. UK is much better at accommodating pets than Australia. Just about everywhere I’ve been in England and Scotland, pets are welcome.

Had a great walk to Ings from Bowness the day after Hugh Jackman had visited. Service and food was amazing and got to say we live the beer garden. Such a great suntrap. Watermill chicken for me and bacon chop special for my husband. We both loved the meal.

Beautiful looking place, nice big car park at the back. Dog friendly which was great for us. We ordered food, a lovely guy came out to let us know how long it would be and to check we had everything we needed. He even bought our dog a fresh bowl of water. Food was fabulous, staff were wonderful. A really lovely experience and will definitely go there again. Bought some of their own brewed beer too. Nice to be able to drink such good beer at home. Highly recommended

Staying in a cottage in Ings, this soon became our 'local' for the week. Lovely friendly place with welcoming and helpful staff throughout. Lots of seating options, inside , covered outside or just outside in their beer garden. Their local ales were on tap, and there was a lot to choose from, which was brilliant as my partner tasted quite a few. Their aperol spritz was amazing, very refreshing on a hot sunny day. Food and drink both very reasonable, hence we visited a few times 🍻🥂 We even bought some of their ales to bring home, 12 bottles for £30, which we thought was a great deal. Will definitely return on our next visit to the area.
