We spent the New Year at the Kings Head and had a lovely stay. The surrounding scenery is stunning and the hotel is situated perfectly for some spectacular walking. Yes the room was small but clean and warm with plenty of hot water. The food was very good and the service excellent. We read the reviews here before we went... more

Have just returned from a two night break in the lakes with my fiance. Arrived at the Kings Head around 12pm to check in before going out for the day. After checking in we used the toilets in the bar - none of them would flush and the taps would not work, which I thought was odd but disregarded it.... more

When we first pulled up to the Kings Head Hotel I was in awe. The hotel has tons of character and is in a beautiful spot in the countryside. Very easy to find too. It isn't within walking distance to Keswick, which is our favorite spot in the Lakes but it was only approx 15 min drive away. The staff... more

We arrived late at night without having booked and were delighted with the service and quality of this hotel. The room was small but spotlessly clean and adequate for a one night stay. The cooked breakfast was excellent and we thought the price was very reasonable. I get the impression this hotel has improved as the reviews have all been... more

Given a good forecast for the Lakes, we arrived to dull and drizzly, but the welcome we received made up for the weather. Although our room was smallish, we had all the 'conveniences' we needed, and it was cosy to return to after an excellent dinner in the formal dining room, (there were bar meals available, but as it was... more

We returned to the Kings Head after thirty years to find that it was just what we had remembered, a quiet, slighty eccentric country Inn. The staff were polite , helpful and pleasant throughout our 4 day stay. The standard of service at times was a little amateur but I sometime think this is not such a bad thing (... more

This was our 6th visit to this charming hotel and standards have definatly improved since our last visit. The staff were good and the rooms clean and comfortable. The St Johns restaurant is well worth a visit. We are both vegetarians and the chef made a big effort with our meals. The hotel is in a stunning location and is... more
