About The Kings Head
Walk into a room at The Kings Head and you get an en-suite bathroom, drinks laid on, and in many cases a view straight out to the surrounding fells. There are 17 rooms across two floors, including family rooms and a bridal suite, so the hotel suits couples, walking groups and weddings alike. Free WiFi is available throughout if you need to stay connected between hikes.
Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar serving breakfast, packed lunches for the trail, and kids' meals for younger guests. A garden and outdoor seating area make the most of the mountain setting, and meeting rooms are available for those combining business with the scenery. Free on-site parking and 24 hour reception take care of the practical side of things, with luggage storage on hand too.
The hotel sits within easy reach of Thirlmere and Helvellyn, and St John's in the Vale is close by for those wanting more walking routes. Golf, fishing, horse riding and watersports are all nearby, alongside cycling and walking areas, plus a scattering of pubs and restaurants for evenings when you'd rather not cook.
