great stay but only thing that let us down was breakfast. food was lovely but based on stays at other hotels in the area we’ve come to expect the ability to order an extra main if we choose too. appreciate now that this isn’t allowed within the package at this hotel but we came in quite late so didn’t have much to eat the night before and were looking forward too really filling up in the morning before our planned 8 hour walk and asked if we could order the pancakes along with a breakfast each and we were told (very awkwardly) that this wouldn’t be possible. weren’t even offered this as an option even if we paid a supplement - something I would have done. made us feel as though we were being greedy by asking and felt even more awkward asking for an extra slice of toast, as a minimum cheap slices of toast should be flowing given the fact most people staying there are looking to fill up before walking.

loved the old decor downstairs with the modern rooms - powerful shower and big bed.

Nothing at all!

Second time we have stayed at the Kings Head and won't be the last. Everything was perfect. The rooms were excellent and the facilities fantastic. Good showers and comfy beds. Great food and drink. All of the staff are wonderfully friendly, especially the owner and the nice chap behind the bar, really helpful and accommodating. We were staying with our son who is vegan and they were excellent in ensuing that he didn't go hungry! Many thanks!

The trailers behind the hotel.

Our room was great. We got one of the ones on the back side and we preferred that view. I will say that the trailers mar the view a little and it would be nicer without them, but we still loved it. The staff was great. I had a minor issue with a dirty tea kettle which I brought to the inn keeper/manager, I think his name was Martin, and he went out of his way to resolve the issue even though it was 5 minutes to 1100pm and he went off duty at 1100. We had breakfast there, but not dinner. The breakfast was very good. We had drinks in the bar a couple times and really enjoyed that. The bartender was great and went into detail about cask beer when my husband expressed an interest. The weather was nice enough that we were able to sit on the patio one day and that was lovely as well. It was a great location to explore the Lake District. There are very nice trails right down the street from the hotel and, I believe, the path goes to Helvellyn, although we didn't hike that. Overall a great visit and we would definitely return.

The kings head has a lovely feel when you walk into it. Warm and inviting. They also cater for people with food allergies. Nothing is a problem.

Food was excellent, breakfast and evening meal. Room was comfortable and provided everything we needed. Have stayed here before and will again. Nothing is a problem for the staff, who are always keen to help, Very welcoming and always polite.
