The Inn was very easy to find and situated in the most beautiful and picturesque area. The inn was a 13 min drive from the town centre, which was also easy to find. The Inn felt cosy and like a home from home and the staff were lovely and very attentive. The area is quiet and the Inn was very peaceful.

Our room was situated right at the top of the stairs - not much of a gripe, it's just a personal preference to be tucked away. The food was a little bit expensive, but was extremely good quality. The room was a bit small, but I'm a small person so not much bother for me - especially as the room was very clean and had everything we needed! Basically no real things to dislike.

We had a delightful experience at the Inn from the 1600s, which truly enchanted me with its old-world charm. The ambience was just perfect, and we were completely captivated by the charisma of the place. The cozy fireplace is the ideal spot to relax. It felt like stepping back in time. We had booked the family room and were pleasantly surprised by how spacious and clean it was. It made our stay all the more comfortable. Breakfast was an absolute highlight of our visit – it was incredibly delicious! I must say, I would probably return just for the breakfast alone. My personal favorite was the Eggs Florentine, and the kids couldn't get enough of the pancakes with fruits. Overall, our experience at the Inn was fantastic.

Very clean, cosy and decorated to a very high standard. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Easy to find and the location was perfect for us as we wanted to walk up Helvellyn which we did from the door. There are lots of walks that can be done using the pub as a base. We ate there both nights of our stay and had breakfast each morning too. The food was delicious.

A bit more choice on the menu is the only thing I would change (and I'm being picky) There was only one vegan and one vegetarian choice on the evening menu making it not much of a "choice" when staying 2 nights. There was no vegan choice for breakfast (although I'm sure had I asked, something would have been rustled up with no issue). Having said that the food was lovely.

This is a wonderfully cosy property which is great after a day on the hills with the fireplace being a ncie touch. The pub attached to the property does great food and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The beds are comfy and they're certainly warm. Great hot shower with good water pressure. The busline from Ambleside to Keswick is right outside the property which is handy if coming up without a car, and the property itself is located next to some classic walks in the Lakes. Overall, a wonderful experience here!

The rooms themselves can feel a little bit small and cramped. It would be handy if there was a useable kitchen as hill walkers can then prep their meals for the day.

We have just returned from a couple of nights at the Kings Head. We had an enjoyable stay, room was comfortable, had a good nights sleep, plenty of tea/coffee sachets and a fantastic breakfast with a good choice and served by friendly efficient staff. The Kings Head is about 25 mins from Keswick.There is a bus stop straight across the road and we got that there a back. Behind the hotel is a path and it’s well sign posted so you can follow it up the hill. We had an evening meal one night which was excellent. We found all the staff very friendly.

A beautiful family run property in a stunning location! We were very well looked after and all the team were very accommodating & attentive. Perfect location for climbing Helvellyn or walking the Thirlmere circular. We believe the chef has worked here for 12 years and we were not disappointed, the food was amazing! There’s a lovely outdoor seating area to watch the sunset. The rooms were well appointed and just right for a short stay. Remember this is an ancient coaching inn, you need to embrace the historic charm. Would we go back? Most definitely! 😊

Very pleasant old country inn of character with good sized rooms. Bed very comfortable. Small bathroom but perfectly adequate. Room rapidly warmed up when radiators switched on. TV and kettle/tea/coffee provided. Good wifi. Very comfortable residents' lounge with log burner. Good restaurant/bar with excellent, well presented evening meals. Four well kept real ales on tap. Very good cooked breakfast with wide menu choice and lots of toast and coffee Lots of free parking. Staff all very pleasant. Great location for walks up Dodds and Helvellyn

No cereals, fruit or yoghurts provided for breakfast

The location was both perfect from a driving perspective and the views were stunning. The bar was welcoming and all the staff were very diligent and knowledgeable. Drinks all came at a good price point and the food quality was great, for both breakfast and evening meals! Superb location for climbing Helvellyn!

Being a little out of the 'metropolis' it was quieter than some places and service tended to finish by 10pm. It's probably a saving grace given we were walking everyday, but sometimes a late night is fun!

The staff were lovely and very facilitating. The price was good and the location was spot on! Beautiful walks from the accommodation and only a short drive / bus journey to Keswick, Grasmere, Ambleside and more. There’s a bus stop right outside the pub which is extremely convenient. The food was exceptional and well worth the money! We stayed for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Would highly recommend 👍🏻

Nothing comes to mind apart from the loud annoying scouser in the room next to us for one night. 😆

Lovely old coaching inn (new parts blended in well). Beautiful garden, outside area, views. Bus stop outside. Good food and superb sticky toffee pudding! Personally I would have preferred a buffet breakfast and better bread for the toast. Pretty, compact room. Helpful, pleasant staff.

Cleaning non existent during 4 night stay. Only the bed made (more or less). No towel change and nowhere to hang to dry apart from small towel rail in the bathroom. We were given used liquid soap (nearly empty) and bath gel and no replacements during the stay. No shower cap and my own that I brought seemed to have been thrown away during the 'cleaning'! Although not common in the UK a hand held jet spray by the loo would be useful.
