About Old Kings Head
Old Kings Head suits travellers after a straightforward, unfussy base for exploring the quieter edges of Cumbria - walkers, cyclists and anyone happy to trade lake-shore bustle for a small market town with a proper local pub at its centre. With just six rooms, it has the feel of a village inn rather than a hotel, and dogs are welcome, which makes it an easy stop for those touring with pets.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks, and the property runs on 24-hour reception, so there's flexibility around arrival times. Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar serving breakfast and meals, plus a garden and picnic area for sitting outside, and a meeting room for those combining the stay with work. Luggage storage and free WiFi round out the practical side.
Broughton-in-Furness itself sits within reach of walking and cycling routes, with fishing, golf and watersports available nearby for a change of pace, and further pubs, restaurants and entertainment close by for evenings out. It's a straightforward, well-placed choice for exploring on foot or by bike rather than a destination in itself.
