10/10 Excellent

Staff were lovely and we felt really looked after during our stay. A particular highlight was the food - lamb, chicken and steak were all excellent.
Emily, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful location. Very friendly staff.
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel was near to Helvellyn for our walk, our third visit to this hotel. The staff were all very hardworking and lovely. The meals and choices were very good as were the bar choices. A lovely old building.
Rose, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Helpful staff, great servers at breakfast, comfy bed, great views
Karen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely inn with excellent breakfast and dinner service. Rooms are well appointed and beautifully decorated and the outside seating for afternoon tea or a pint is wonderful. The area is stunning and delightful for a walk. Highly recommend this exceptional inn.
Terrence, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent hotel for a short break. Would stay there again.
Andrew, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic hotel, lovely staff, delicious food and central location to all the hotspots with a bus stop across the road with a regular bus service to and from all the hotspots. Room for 1 was clean and beautifully decorated but very small which meant that on warm sunny nights the heat builds up making it uncomfortable to get ready and sleep in, easy fix, needs Air Con or a decent fan as the ones in the room were inadequate, however would this stop me returning, absolutely not as everything else in the Kings Head Inn was first class. Special shout to Sean/Shaun who gave me some lovely scenic places to walk.
Linda, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The pub, staff and food were excellent. The bedroom was tiny and the on-suite even smaller. This would be difficult for those with mobility issues. You couldn’t turn the shower on without being in it. There was a small heater fan which was more than useless, although it was a hot weekend.
Phillip, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Love that isnnear hiking trails and has good food and simple accomodation. Exactly what i needed whwn going there to hike the Lake District.
Eduardo, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Last minute booking but we will definitely return. Cosy seating area, lovely food, friendly staff and an excellent base for walking, particularly Helvellyn.
Sandra, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed at the King’s Head because it is so close to the Thirlmere path to Helvellyn - just 2 minutes from the Swirls Car Park. We really enjoyed it . Great location, excellent menu, lovely gardens and very accommodating and friendly staff team (and helpful too). Great range of beers and wines. We wanted to walk early so we were given breakfast before official opening times, and they made us an excellent pack up. Room was clean and comfy, nice bathroom and toiletries. Thank you Peter, Jo and all the other colleagues who made our stay so good - it helped after a long walk or two! We look forward to returning.

The accommodation was in excellent condition for a house of this age, almost as good as the staff, we had a lot of fun and were exceptionally well entertained.
Michael, 11-night trip

8/10 Good

We had a lovely stay. The atmosphere was amazing, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The Inn is this amazing old building that’s creaky and has historical atmosphere. The place is very clean. The rooms are warm and clean and the ensuite was clean, the road noise was dulled down by the double glazed windows. The breakfast and meals were delicious. The out door patio area is a great place to sit and meet others. There is road noise but doesn’t take anything away from the lovely surroundings.
