Stayed at Queens Head with family for one night. On arrival the place was busy - Saturday afternoon - but we received a warm welcome and shown to our rooms. We ate in the restaurant on Saturday evening as well as breakfast Sunday morning - both were fantastic. Good range of beers and the staff were fantastic. Rooms were of good quality and comfortable. Would highly recommend and definitely intend to go again

  • Hi, We would love to come and stay with our dogs but we cant see if you have any rooms on the ground floor or have lift access to the first floor!? I use a wheelchair but do not require a fully accessible room. Many thanks, John.

    We have a lift from the first floor of the pub to the ground floor, but we do not have any bedrooms on the ground floor. We do have a level exit on the first floor as well. Five of the rooms are step-free, Scafell is our fully accessible room. Thanks
