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.

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.

Lake District hills view

On way back from top of Scotland this was a lovely stop over, amazing views of the hills. Staff fantastic, food excellent good bar selection and a fab lounge with log burner for the guests. Rooms are perfect for what you need. Only minor gripe is the mattress on the bed was a bit tired and could do with changing. Overall fab place. Defo use again
