The Queen's Head Hotel

What guests think

Reviews of The Queen's Head Hotel depict a welcoming, dog friendly country inn in a Lakes setting, with attentive staff, a charming pub feel, near Windermere yet away from the bustle, and with walks starting from the door.

Rooms are comfortable and often spacious, blending modern touches with traditional character; a few guests found they ran warm at times and some noted occasional noise or smoke smells depending on room position. Food draws consistent praise, with especially good breakfasts and well-regarded dinners using local produce. Expect a relaxed, characterful base for a countryside escape.

Excellent stay. The hotel is based around a pub, that gives you a real feel of country British. Log fires, oak beams set the scene for a lovely setting to stay and dine. The room was lovely, featuring a comfy bed, tv and adequate bathroom. Breakfast and dinner was really good.

Very friendly to guests and dogs. We had a room above the smoking shelter and often needed to keep the window shut due to the smell. This was only a mild problem and difficult to remedy in bad weather.

Travelled up to Windermere for a Wedding and booked a room for an overnight stay. Arrived at the hotel and breezed through check in and were taken to our room by a friendly member of staff. The room (Skiddaw) was excellent and clean. Had dinner in the restaurant and the food was really good too. Had a great nights sleep and a hearty breakfast in the morning. Perfect place to stay and would recommend.

My wife and I enjoyed a two night b and b stay at this lovely hotel with dinner on the first night. Although parts of the building are Elizabethan the inside decor is quite modern with extensive use of wood. The dining area around the bar is very attractive. The food was good and our waiter was very pleasant. A very good breakfast was enjoyed at a lovely table in the bar area. Our bedroom was lovely and the en suite was a wet room which was great. For some reason it was a little bit too warm despite a cooling fan but steps are in place to sort this out. Altogether a very pleasant stay in beautiful surroundings and we look forward to returning sometime soon.

The rooms, hotel, service and menus were great. We only had two issues. The room we were in must be above the kitchen washroom-we we’re kept awake by loud music, shouting and repeated loins banging but we were also in bed early for an early mountain start the next day. The hotel catered for me as a celiac. However the allergens menus did not match what the staff said was safe to eat. I was also given a meal with non GF sausages and was glad I checked because I would have been very ill if I had eaten it. Also breakfast didn’t start until 830 which meant we couldn’t get the early start we wanted for our planned route. otherwise the hotel, staff and location was lovely with some really nice little touches with fresh milk and a treat box for the dogs. Is worth a visit and stay.
