A good, historic property in a beautiful village. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We were made to feel very welcome. If Hawkshead was easier to get to by public transport, we'd be back within weeks.

Amazing staff throughout the full hotel couldn’t do enough for you .My husband had heartburn and couldn’t enjoy his meal a lovely man from the bar fetched him some rennies from his room and a glass of milk .Views from the terrace amazing beautiful spa area .We had the Windermere suite which was exceptional so used the hot tub most of the time . Yes breakfast was only continental but was enough to fill you and you could pay if you wanted full english .Meal in restaurant was lovely and they had even gone to the trouble of decorating my table for my birthday. Overall an amazing stay and can’t wait to return .

Hawkshead is beautiful and the people who live there are very friendly. Lovely shops and cafe's etc walking is brilliant and views unbelievable have stayed in different accommodation in the village and this was the worst. I suggest the Red Lion if you're looking to visitDawnUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
Our "go to" place in the village has always been the Kings...
Our "go to" place in the village has always been the Kings Arms Pub. Sadly the pub is currently closed for renovations and will not be open again until 2025. Without this pub, the village feels like it has list its heart. Other pubs are available of course, but none have the feel of The Kings Arms. The village is otherwise a great centre for surrounding activities. It is very serene in the evenings when the bulk of visitors have gone home. It's a shame that the village economy does not seem able to support a good quality walking shop. The current outlets in the village really cater for the low to mid-range mass market. For dining, the breakfasts at PoppiRed are exceptional. For our evening meals we used PoppiRed and The Red Lion. Both were very good.TTonyUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Love Hawkshead.
Love Hawkshead. A super little village, with some sweet shops and various places to eat & drink. Great location to get to just about anywhere in the Lake District within reasonable travel time, and plenty of nearby walking.296364United Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
The one downside was the parking.
The one downside was the parking. Many of the properties don’t have onsight parking which means parking on the main car park when you are in the village. The charges have recently been changed so that you have to pay overnight as well as during the day. There are no discounts for parking for a few days/ week so the £8.50 charge a day can add up if you are staying a few days. Nice restaurant in the village - Poppi Red would recommend to anyone who enjoys good food. Good base for visiting Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside, Coniston.

A good place for lunch and an evening meal.
A good place for lunch and an evening meal. Interesting walks around the village and located v close to Tarn Howes and other really interesting places including those linked to Beatrix Potter. Good food shops although the Co op is an essential and when it was unexpected closed caused some challenges for those at the camp site and cyclists passing through.

Hawkshead is a great place to stay in the Lakes although this visit only one of the four pubs had enough staff to offer evening meals. There are plenty of low level circular walks from the village and numerous places to stay to suit most pockets. Special mention for food Is Poppi red which was excellent. The queens arms had nice food and friendly staff. The Sun in had live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nightDavidUnited Kingdom

- 8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 801 reviewsSecond year we have stayed for 7 nights at the Sun in Hawkshead. Breakfasts are fantastic, rooms exceptionally clean and comfortable, staff friendly and always helpful and attentive. Would definitely recommend this little gem of a place for a short or longer break. Walks and cycles from the hotel are ideal, hardly need to use the car. Hawkshead is a busy little village with limited eating places, we booked ahead and had no problems, so would definitely recommend other visitors do the same.GillUnited Kingdom
- From $178.10 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 691 reviewsWe thought the manager Tom was exceptional. Worked tirelessly to ensure our comfort. There seems to be a problem in getting staff back into the industry for a variety of reasons. Tom, however, managed to draft in the help of his family. They catered for vegetarians, breakfast was super set us up for the day. The Red Lion was a great location for our stay. The place is so dog friendly too. Hope Tom stays! Other lovely pubs too, Sun Inn and Queens Head - staff all so friendly and helpful.
MichaelUnited Kingdom - From $178.10 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 691 reviewsCozy, charming inn with friendly staff and a great pub for dinner. They make sure to reserve a table for guests as the restaurant can fill up quickly. Very grateful that they have parking right outside as there is little to no street parking in Hawkshead. A wonderful Peter Rabbit gift shop full of all things Beatrix Potter is right around the corner, as is a lovely shop and cafe called HoneyPot. We all enjoyed exploring the town very much.JessicaUnited States of America

Also breakfast was fantastic.
