From the moment we arrived , we received a warm welcome from Sam and team. This extended to Mark, Chloe and the whole team over the next 24 hours. They made us feel like family and importantly to us, they made a total fuss of Ziggy. A beautiful bar and restaurant, amazing food, incredible service complete with a doggy menu for Ziggy. Our room was so cosy it was difficult to leave. Will we return? 100% we will. Frankly, if we could we’d return tomorrow.

We ate in the restaurant on several nights while staying in the area. The food was consistently excellent and Mark, Samantha and Lee were always friendly and courteous. We will definitely visit again the next time we’re in the Lake District.

We stayed overnight and had dinner and breakfast, both of which were excellent. Our friends had a personal issue to deal with and the staff went above and beyond what they needed to, to assist. The pub has a very cosy and friendly atmosphere and there is excellent parking.
Response from Property: Hi Jeff L, thank you so much for your high rating and a lovely review, we hope to see you again soon.

I usually don't write reviews, however on this occasion I feel compelled to express my delight of choosing the Queens Head to host a birthday celebration following the recommendation on friends. From the moment I first met Mark & Samantha, along with the team at the Queens Head, I noticed straight away this was the ideal venue to host a special birthday which included a large group of friends and family in attendance. The whole planning and celebration was simple and seamless, which I am grateful for. Their aim was to ensure the whole party relaxed and enjoyed the celebrations which to my amazement included dressing the private room. Most of the party choose to stay overnight at the Queens Head which with all rooms beautifully presented, exceptionally comfortable at an amazingly competitive price. The quality of the food is exceptional with the breakfast a feel treat in addition to the great selection of fine cask ales, beer, wine and sprits all enjoyed in a warm friendly country pub environment. A special mention to Chloe for all her hard work were nothing was too much trouble, an asset to the Queens Head. Both my wife and I can not wait to revisit the Queens Head with the view of staying overnight again to enjoy the incredible home cooked food and hospitality of Mark and Sam along with the friendly team. If i could give a score greater than 5 (exceptional) then I would. In your in the area, my recommendation would be to visit the Queens Head and see for yourself.
Response from Property: Thank you for such an amazing and thoughtful review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your birthday celebration at the Queens Head. It was a pleasure hosting you and your group. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another stay. Thank you so much for your glowing recommendation—it truly means the world to us!

A fantastic night. The staff were excellent and the live music was just amazing. The only little criticism is the food that was provided on the night. Nothing really for vegetarians the food served was sliced Pork, Pate, Bread, Scampi and Cheese n Crackers. Xx

We stayed here for the first time in 15 years during which time it has both burned down and been rebuilt. It was just as good as we remembered. Room was lovely - spacious, clean and comfortable. Food was excellent - we had both dinner and breakfast. Every member of staff should be commended - all were very helpful and friendly. Beer choice good.
Response from Property: Thank-you for lovely review, really glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope we will see you soon on you next visit

I have been here before, a few months ago, for lunch with a few friends, we enjoyed our meals. Then today I had lunch with some of the family. The bar/restaurant was not over busy, although it is August, we were seated promptly. The service was friendly and efficient, and we all had something different from the menu and all enjoyed our meal. Two were vegan and there was choice on the menu. The portions are certainly adequate!

Outstanding little hidden gem in the lake district. Food and drinks were to absolutely die for. Fantastic little walking booklet also which tells you about all the local walks. Staff were absolutely amazing and so accommodating and hospitable. Wouldn't stay anywhere else if we were staying in a hotel in the Lakes again. Thank you so much Ollie and Rebecca x

Visited here on Tuesday 18th after a Google search and drive back from Scotland. Great location, nice drive off the m6 and via Ullswater. Pub is on a quiet road with good parking, though can imagine when the pub is busier it's very difficult to park. The pub itself is very well designed, lots of wood and nice comfortable seating. Friendly staff and good choice of drinks, especially if you like gin. Food was great, we had starters and a main course. Only issue is the veg was frozen and reheated, understand its a rural location but just serve what's local. Also no English mustard! As a side note, though we don't have dogs yet, we'd definitely come back if we did. Lots of facilities for them from watering holes to lots of different choices of meals on the counter!

Picturesque location, amazing hosts and full of the yokels when we arrived for the new appointment of the new mayor, who gave us a tune or two. Gorgeous accommodation so clean, delicious food, staff so helpful and would love to go back. Could not fault anything . Stayed in great end.
