A good, historic property in a beautiful village. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We were made to feel very welcome. If Hawkshead was easier to get to by public transport, we'd be back within weeks.

Hawkshead is beautiful and the people who live there are very friendly. Lovely shops and cafe's etc walking is brilliant and views unbelievable have stayed in different accommodation in the village and this was the worst. I suggest the Red Lion if you're looking to visitDawnUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
Our "go to" place in the village has always been the Kings...
Our "go to" place in the village has always been the Kings Arms Pub. Sadly the pub is currently closed for renovations and will not be open again until 2025. Without this pub, the village feels like it has list its heart. Other pubs are available of course, but none have the feel of The Kings Arms. The village is otherwise a great centre for surrounding activities. It is very serene in the evenings when the bulk of visitors have gone home. It's a shame that the village economy does not seem able to support a good quality walking shop. The current outlets in the village really cater for the low to mid-range mass market. For dining, the breakfasts at PoppiRed are exceptional. For our evening meals we used PoppiRed and The Red Lion. Both were very good.TTonyUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Love Hawkshead.
Love Hawkshead. A super little village, with some sweet shops and various places to eat & drink. Great location to get to just about anywhere in the Lake District within reasonable travel time, and plenty of nearby walking.296364United Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
The one downside was the parking.
The one downside was the parking. Many of the properties don’t have onsight parking which means parking on the main car park when you are in the village. The charges have recently been changed so that you have to pay overnight as well as during the day. There are no discounts for parking for a few days/ week so the £8.50 charge a day can add up if you are staying a few days. Nice restaurant in the village - Poppi Red would recommend to anyone who enjoys good food. Good base for visiting Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside, Coniston.

A good place for lunch and an evening meal.
A good place for lunch and an evening meal. Interesting walks around the village and located v close to Tarn Howes and other really interesting places including those linked to Beatrix Potter. Good food shops although the Co op is an essential and when it was unexpected closed caused some challenges for those at the camp site and cyclists passing through.VivUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

Hawkshead is a great place to stay in the Lakes although this visit only one of the four pubs had enough staff to offer evening meals. There are plenty of low level circular walks from the village and numerous places to stay to suit most pockets. Special mention for food Is Poppi red which was excellent. The queens arms had nice food and friendly staff. The Sun in had live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nightDavidUnited Kingdom

- 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 36 reviewsThe property is set in a sweet area of the Lake District with views from all over the property. The cabin has all the facilities to make an enjoyable and relaxing stay and the treats left in the fridge and bottle of red wine were a surprise that was most welcome, and delicious, after a long day’s drive. David and Carey were so lovely to chat with and shared all their local knowledge about the surrounding areas for us to enjoy. They were wonderful hosts and we really had a lovely stay with them.

The breakfast downstairs in the Poppi Red was so delicious and the products you can tell are local, so good! They allow dogs, even our pug recognises where she is and is so happy 😊 5 out of 5 stars from us! Millie, Josh & Connie x

The reservations for dinner that come with the room actually worked out well since several of the restaurants in the village were either closed or remodeling. The Queens Head is a perfect staging point for hikes through the hills and lakes in the area.
