Very relaxing pre Xmas night away, delicious food and lovely surroundings

clean, great service

Great large family room, comfortable and good shower. Food was excellent for evening food and breakfast. Super friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Clean and comfortable rooms, always a lovely rest.

Staff were brilliant, friendly & efficient. Lovely fire in the lounge was fab after a days walking

Amazing hotel with lots of surrounding beauty. The staff are so lovely and it makes it feel like a home from home. Amazing food and drinks and lovely view from our room. Nice and warm too.

Relaxed atmosphere, the staff were both very professional and friendly. Tasty food on the menu, will definitely stay here again 👍

My stay was disrupted by badly behaved guests in the room next to mine. I had to go to Reception and complain about their behaviour twice. Upon my second complaint, a staff member called the manager who spoke to the unruly guests about the noise. They lied about the noise and when the manager returned to me, he began making excuses for them and turned funny with me! He became awkward and argumentative towards me, then spoke down to me in a very condescending voice before storming off. I do not expect to be treated so rudely when I have a valid cause for complaint. The Inn is beautifully appointed and the rest of the staff were lovely towards me. What a shame that the manager was so unpleasant.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Dinner and breakfast meals were tasty and plentiful. Room and bathroom were small and bed a bit too soft.

Really nice place, with really good staff.

What a lovely hotel! I love the atmosphere - the way it is decorated is serene, and yet you can still see the age in the building definitely in a very well kept way. Highly recommend this hotel as the service was amazing, the food was very delicious and the rooms were comfortable and clean! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Amazing

We stayed in King Bed room which was comfy, large and spacious, it was hot so we opened the windows let air through, the bathroom had mould and grout needed to be replaced near shower. I had to clean the fan as all dusty. Room needs a good deep clean. We didn’t use the bath for daughter because of this mould. It was quite dusty when we arrived. The inn itself had a musty smell. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and good value. Plenty of free parking. The inn is right next to a main road so with the windows open the traffic woke me up so had to wear ear plugs.

Staff were lovely and we felt really looked after during our stay. A particular highlight was the food - lamb, chicken and steak were all excellent.

Fantastic hotel, lovely staff, delicious food and central location to all the hotspots with a bus stop across the road with a regular bus service to and from all the hotspots. Room for 1 was clean and beautifully decorated but very small which meant that on warm sunny nights the heat builds up making it uncomfortable to get ready and sleep in, easy fix, needs Air Con or a decent fan as the ones in the room were inadequate, however would this stop me returning, absolutely not as everything else in the Kings Head Inn was first class. Special shout to Sean/Shaun who gave me some lovely scenic places to walk.

The pub, staff and food were excellent. The bedroom was tiny and the on-suite even smaller. This would be difficult for those with mobility issues. You couldn’t turn the shower on without being in it. There was a small heater fan which was more than useless, although it was a hot weekend.

The hotel was near to Helvellyn for our walk, our third visit to this hotel. The staff were all very hardworking and lovely. The meals and choices were very good as were the bar choices. A lovely old building.

Great overnight stay. I had booked a double room for myself and my neice as there was no twin available, but at check in they were able to offer us a twin which was perfect. Breakfast was absolutely lovely, full English all cooked fresh.

Overall, it was a nice stay. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and in a good location. The rooms were comfortable and housekeeping did a good job during our visit. Most of the staff were polite and helpful, which made our stay pleasant. However, I did have a disappointing experience with the manager. I told him that I didn’t want a baby cot in the room because it looked dirty. Instead of understanding my concern, he questioned me in a slightly rude manner and gave me an unfriendly look. As a guest, I believe every concern should be handled with courtesy and professionalism, no matter how small it may seem. This interaction left a bad impression, which is why I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5. Good customer service is as important as the property itself. I would still recommend this hotel for its cleanliness, facilities, and location — but I hope the management works on their attitude and how they deal with guest feedback.

Beautiful location. Very friendly staff.
