    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 visit

    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.

    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

    The Kings Arms is a very well located traditional pub/hotel. It is presently going through a transitional phase with a new manager recently appointed. Like many properties in the area it is struggling to recruit staff and this is having an impact on its ability to provide a food service and also on opening hours. Breakfast was served to order and was excellent. Its a hotel that has been in Hawkshead for many, many years and the present management are determined to restore it to its former glory

    Our stay at Belmount Hall was the highlight of our UK vacation! Not only was our room on the first floor exquisite, Chris and Gillie were the most kind and attentive of hosts, and made us feel as if we were friends they hadn’t seen for a while rather than guests. The setting is glorious, within a mile hike to Hawkshead and various hikes, and I can say this stay will live in my heart for many years to come. Thank you Chris and Gillie!

    Chris and Gillian made us feel welcome and their breakfasts were amazing. The grounds and the hotel were absolutely fabulous. The rooms were very clean and had original antique furniture which added to the historical value of the hotel. Chris was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and suggested walks and places to go and eat. They even saw us off when we left which was a lovely touch. All in all it was a fabulous stay.

    The hotel was wonderful. Beautiful and very quiet location with access right out of the front door and up over the hills( behind the church) with my dog. The room was immaculate and well stocked with tea, coffee and even juice in a small fridge! It was a bright, spacious and beautifully decorated room, with a couch and views out into Hawkshead The bed was comfortable and the shower was wonderful. I highly recommend the Hive.

    A beautiful house with excellent hosts and delicious homemade breakfast. Lovely room with a comfortable bed and garden views. It's rare to find such a great boutique hotel that is also dog friendly, so that was a huge bonus. It was a pleasure to stay there and I would happily visit again. Thank you, Chris and Gillie for the wonderful hospitality.

    Really good location in Hawkshead, great space inside and out. Friendly staff and the drinks were fantastic. Had a few G&Ts and they were made exceptionally well. Had a live singer on the Friday night too which was a nice surprise. Plus a roast hog on offer too as there wasn’t an offering of evening meal. Also breakfast was fantastic.

    Breakfast was excellent with a wide choice of locally sourced produce. The hosts were engaging and knowledgeable of the local area and happy to make recommendations. A great place to stay for the local Pubs and dining options and you could jump on a bus and visit other villages around the lake district if walking was not your thing.

    Fabulous cottage with everything we needed for a stay in the Lake District. Great location for exploring the Windermere area and a fab local pub for evening meals. We had one very wet day but there were lots of board games and DVDs available to keep us entertained in the cosy cottage.

    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.
