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.

    Lovely little Hamlet with a surprising number of eating...

    Lovely little Hamlet with a surprising number of eating options, a pharmacy and a coop. Quiet for the most part and very relaxing from the bustle of Ambleside. Just note the car park is £8.50 for 24 hours as there is nowhere else to park you are a hostage to this and mounts up over several days.

    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 visit

    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.

    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.

    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.

    My partner and I had a fantastic stay. The hosts were welcoming and kind to us and and made us feel like we were visiting old friends. The room was luxurious, beds were comfortable and Jilly's breakfast was delicious. Most notably the property itself is incredible and wonderfully restored, down to every small detail. It's just the perfect place to relax and have as your base to explore the Lake district. Don't think, just book your stay, you will not regret this experience. We love it so much we extended our stay!

    The Kings Arms is a very well located traditional pub/hotel. It is presently going through a transitional phase with a new manager recently appointed. Like many properties in the area it is struggling to recruit staff and this is having an impact on its ability to provide a food service and also on opening hours. Breakfast was served to order and was excellent. Its a hotel that has been in Hawkshead for many, many years and the present management are determined to restore it to its former glory

    Breakfast was lovely and staff were very nice. Room was very clean but very hot and you could only open window about 6 inches due to restrictions on window. Nice bar area and outside area. Parking outside for 5 or 6 cars not sure where you wd park if none of these spaces were available. If your in hawkshead on a Sunday night the Kat Vandu Nepalese food truck that stops just next to Red Lion is amazingly good and worth every penny..
