Excellent food and bar staff is good

Lovely hotel and bar. Friendly staff from the moment I arrived. The room was clean, with everything you needed, and with a great view too. The food was excellent in the restaurant, and breakfast, with table service, was too. Definitely recommend.

Always great

Wonderful place and staff. Loved every minute of our short stay at the Kings Head.

Excellent hotel and staff in a great location.

Whilst my room was small, it had all I needed. The highlight was the staff: reception and bar/restaurant staff were excellent. Polite, attentive, efficient. Breakfast was very good with a wide choice. The restaurant menu for dinner was ok but sometimes a wider simpler choice would have been nice.

What a great place to stay. The staff are fantastic. The food is really good and reasonably priced. The location is very central to all the lakes district activities. Can’t recommend the Kings Head highly enough.

Very clean, with very courteous staff. It's an old roadside inn, so there's no air conditioning and lots of traffic noise, which I struggled with. My single room had everything I needed, except a wardrobe. A couple of hooks on the doors would have helped enormously, as I had nowhere to hang my dresses during my stay.

Breakfast menu fabulous, and extensive. Served to perfection.

I booked accommodation at the Kings Head for myself & my registered assistance dog. Upon arrival, I was refused check-in solely because the hotel stated that they “do not allow pets.” I explained that my dog is a legally recognised assistance dog & not a pet. Despite this, I was still denied access to the hotel. I was subsequently directed to alternative accommodation at the Lodge in the Vale, approximately a 10-minute walk away. This caused significant inconvenience & distress, particularly given my mobility limitations & underlying health conditions. After checking into the alternative accommodation, I discovered that no food or catering facilities were available on site. I was informed that I would need to walk back to the Kings Head in order to obtain food. Due to my medical & mobility issues, this was not reasonably possible, resulting in me going without food throughout the evening & into the following morning. I consider the actions of the Kings Head to constitute unlawful discrimination under the Equality Act 2010. Assistance dogs are protected by law, & service providers are legally required to make reasonable adjustments & must not refuse access to individuals accompanied by an assistance dog. The treatment I received was humiliating, distressing, & had a direct negative impact on my wellbeing. I reserve all legal rights in relation to this matter, including the right to pursue formal legal action £ seek damages for discrimination & distress & losses.

Nice hotel

So friendly and comfortable. The rooms are beautiful with great views. Food is good too and a must for a relaxing weekend .

The staff were friendly and efficient and the room was nice. The bathroom was a bit dirty and needed some maintenance. There was also quite a lot of dust in some areas of the room and the kettle and iron were about 30 years old and didn't work very well. They closed downstairs completely at 22:30 and sent everyone sat having a drink by the fire to their rooms so they could turn the lights off, which seemed a bit odd. It also wasn't clear on the itinerary from hotels.com whether breakfast was included. I checked the hotel website a few days before arrival and the same room including breakfast was listed at the same price so I assumed it was. To make sure, I was going to switch to a direct reservation but despite this being a free cancellation, pay on arrival booking, they had set the terms to have no cancellation for a week before arrival, so I couldn't. On arrival they didn't say anything other than asking if I wanted to book in for breakfast, then charged it as an extra at the end. Generally the stay was really nice but there were a few issues which would put me off staying again.
