The Excelent Breakfast and Friendly owners who made us so welcome . My only concern was that they should have a slip mat in the lovely shower.

It's a very nice and cosy suite. It was immaculate. The cold drinks in the fridge were a big bonus and the generous breakfast was delivered to the door.

Friendly hosts and clean room with good bed. Parking included and close to village. Lovely view from room but looked directly onto the bed in the shepherd's hut and their hot tub.
Our hotel is perfectly situated with views of Lake Windermere, just a short stroll from the bustling village centre of Bowness-on-Windermere and the boats that travel the length of Windermere, making...

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.

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.

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. 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.

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 night
The house was absolutely beautiful and the room was lovely - very clean, with a comfy bed and big bathroom.
The host, Chris, was very welcoming and gave us excellent suggestions on what to do and where to go, which was really helpful. The breakfasts were all delicious and the views from the dining rooms were gorgeous.
The location is also great, very close to Hawkshead which was walkable and very central in the Lake District so that getting around was easy.
Our room was excellent and they had considered everything you would need. Very clean and we really appreciated them leaving the fan on as it was a hot few days. Breakfasts were great and service was quick. They were happy to go off piste with your requests too. We loved the live music and if we came back to Hawkshead we would definitely book this hotel again. The manager was also really accommodating and helpful.
