The Brotherswater Inn is located next to Sykeside Caravan Park on the shore of Brothers Water, in a superb location for exploring the eastern fells (Wainwright baggers, take note!) the likes of Dove Crag and Fairfield present their most dramatic sides to the walker and drinker here. If you like pub walks, then alight from the 508 bus (Easter-end October) at the Kirkstone Pass Inn and enjoy a pleasant walk to the Inn with cracking views of the Patterdale area. Sitting in the bar with your beer you can enjoy these views through the large windows. A roaring log fire is very welcoming when the weather is bad which it can be in this area at times. They're keen to support local breweries as well.
