About The Hive at Poppi-Red
Breakfast and a proper bar are part of daily life at The Hive at Poppi-Red, a nine-room B&B on Main Street in Hawkshead. Guests can start the day with a cooked breakfast before heading out, or come back in the evening to a drink at the on-site bar, with outdoor seating available for warmer days and room service on hand for anyone who'd rather stay put.
The rooms are straightforward and comfortable, with en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, free WiFi and drinks in the room, and family rooms are available along with kids' meals for those travelling with children. Reception operates around the clock, and pets are welcome, so the practicalities are well covered even if the rooms themselves are simple rather than luxurious.
Hawkshead itself is well placed for walking and cycling, with fishing also nearby, and the village has its own pubs, restaurants and entertainment within easy reach. It makes a sensible, unfussy base for exploring the Lake District National Park.
Guests mention this accommodation offers clean, cozy, and good-sized rooms with comfortable beds and spotless bathrooms. They also highlight the delicious breakfast and evening meals, including unique options like Christmas dinner pizza, and appreciate the friendly, helpful staff.
