We loved the pool the whole hotel and grounds, staff were wonderful. Rooms spacious and clean although I did find the lighting a little dark. Great bathroom and plenty wardrobe space. We loved the breakfast and the Asian Fusion restaurant was amazing.

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.

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.

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. 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 night
Me and my partner come to Hawkshead every year and we’d never stay anywhere different than The Hive at Poppi Red ❤️ it’s perfect and so beautiful, all the rooms we’ve stayed in were brilliant and so comfortable and beautifully decorated, made to feel so homey! The breakfast downstairs in the Poppi Red was so delicious and the products you can tell are local, so good! They allow dogs, even our pug recognises where she is and is so happy 😊 5 out of 5 stars from us!

The owners were so welcoming we immediately felt like we were with our own extended family.
Dog Friendly!!!
The King Arms is traditional, quaint and everything you need when staying in Hawkshead.
All staff are polite and helpful- they keep the property exceptionally clean.
If you’re in the area be sure to call in for a pint.
Thank you for a lovely stay xx
The breakfast was not the traditional English style but creative and delicious. There was also lashings of tea, coffee and toast married up with locally homemade raspberry jam and marmalade. It set us up nicely for the day! The location, Belmont Hall is an extraordinary place oozing with character and history and set in a beautiful Cumbrian setting.
Cosy Inn above a pub/restaurant and perfectly centered in Hawkshead. The reservations for dinner that come with the room actually worked out well since several of the restaurants in the village were either closed or remodeling. The Queens Head is a perfect staging point for hikes through the hills and lakes in the area.
Great location in Hawkshead with On site parking.
We took Mr Bob our Border Collie. We had a friendly welcome .
We had a lovely evening meal and drinks. We missed the time for breakfast but owner insisted on cooking us a full English ( which we were really grateful for)
We would definitely stay there again- recomended.
The convenience (walking distance) to the village and to all Lake District Attractions. Hawkshead is a lovely village, beautifully looked after, and a well kept secret as opposed to other Lake District villages or towns. People incredibly friendly and Mark and Emma wonderful hosts.
No expense has been spared with the accommodation, total luxury and well laid out. Bathroom was straight from a design brochure. Lovey views to the village and graveyard! Breakfast was amazing. The Hawkshead Rarebit was the best breakfast I’ve had in a long long time.
this is a beautiful property set in a wonderful location for touring the southern Lake District with many good walks within a few miles and some great restaurants and pubs close by. Chris is a fond of knowledge and was a great host at each delicious breakfast.
Belmount is in a fantastic location in the Lake District from which to explore. Wray Castle and Ambleside are walking distance from hiking trails that cross the rear of the property. This is an excellent value.
We love this hotel and have stayed a few times , lovely rooms great facilities. Hawkshead is a very pretty village close to lots of walks. Food is always amazing.. will be back
Very lovely rooms. Nice bar with live music. Very welcoming staff and atmosphere. Great breakfast. Electric car charging in local car park very near to the hotel.
Location is excellent in Hawkshead, comfortable bed, staff were very helpful and friendly, nice outside seating area, and the breakfast (included) was great.
