About The Queens Head Inn and Restaurant

Hawkshead's fell paths and lake shores are within easy reach of The Queens Head Inn and Restaurant, making it a practical base for walking, cycling or watersports days out. Fishing and horse riding can also be arranged nearby, and the village itself has pubs, restaurants and entertainment on the doorstep, so evenings need no planning beyond stepping outside.

The inn itself has 13 rooms, including family options, each with an en-suite bathroom and free WiFi. Guests can expect the straightforward comforts of a traditional Lakeland inn rather than anything flashy, with drinks available in the room and a 24-hour reception for those coming back late from the hills.

Downstairs, the restaurant and bar serve as the heart of the property, with breakfast included and outdoor seating in the garden for warmer days. Luggage storage is available for those breaking up a longer walking route, and the Main Street setting puts everything in Hawkshead within a short stroll.
