The Brookside Inn (Windermere)

Tucked away in a quiet residential corner of Windermere, the Brookside Inn is a friendly and welcoming pub that is a favourite of the locals and has recently been refurbished. The pub is named for the babbling brook that runs behind the property, and during the summer months, the pleasant beer garden that overlooks the brook is a lovely place to sit and enjoy a drink or meal.
