Can you help us out?

We were thinking of going away for a few days.
A long time ago we were told of a place in the lake district (we think!) with a really good traditional pub with a selection of ales.
Can anyone think of what where we mean?
Alternatively reccommend us a place in either the peak district or the lake district with some traditional pubs nice sceanery and a decent b&b sorry its vague.

My friend's parents have a house in Grasmere, Lakes. Been to stay there a few times when they are away.

Few nice pubs/restaurants there. Jumble Rooms is a nice restaurant that was in a top 50list somewhere for UK.

One of the pubs there has a nice selection of ales. They even do an ale slider (3 x 1/3 of a pint) so you can test a few for the same price of a pint.

The pub is called Tweedies Bar

The Langdale Valley is nice - good pub there with accomodation and a camp site too if that is your thing. Good central location too so not far to drive to most places you would want to go.

some places keswick and grassmere or near ullswater bridge

some places can be reasonable but for posh standards you might choke

There's a lovely B&B in Ullswater called The Brackenrigg Inn. Couple of Pubs near by and a short drive to Windemere if you want a little more touristy stuff.

Lovely walk to a great waterfall nearby call Aera Force.

I was actually in Langdale at the weekend for a wedding, very nice place.
The pub (seemed to be the only one apart from the one at the hotel) was called Wainwrights' Inn. They had quite a wide selection of ales.

Sorry, just come back from my annual week in the Lakes just outside Ambleside so I know it well. I don't know B&B's that well but theres a load on the main road by the Jade Chinese/Cinema (don't know the road) and theres a good few pubs nearby.
