Good stay

Rooms are a decent size and good facilities. Bar is great with a good selection of beers and spirits. The food is fantastic! I have a dietary requirement and they catered for me and were very knowledgeable of the ingredients in the meals. Thoroughly recommend staying here.

Room was average for the price paid but overall looked tired. Very old pub and traditional rooms but that’s no reason to ignore mould and damage to the bathroom and paint flaking off the walls. Light fitting was hanging off by exposed wires. In the evenings the pub downstairs is busy with a lot of noise heard upstairs until about midnight.

Great place to stay! Very homely and cosy with amazing fire place and great food. Bed was very comfy as well. Free parking which is a bonus. And the most importantly - the staff was amazing!!! Thank you for making our stay great!

A warm and friendly welcome when we arrived. Rooms were cosy and spotless and the beds really comfortable. Great Sunday roast for dinner. Will definitely be back.

Lovely country pub feel. Nice room good breakfast.

Great stay

The room was spotless really clean with a tv nice clean bedding. With a sink toilet and shiwer that was really clean. And a great pub with great people who run the place. 100% recommend the place. I would definitely stay there again.

Bar staff were friendly and talkative. Housemaid was terrific she also served us a delicious breakfast… she worth her weight in gold. We would definitely recommend and go back.

Difficulty finding parking, no room at 2/3 restaurants, no heat in the room, tv didn’t work.

A really nice, friendly pub in the village of Hawkshead. The room was good with an excellent bed and the food was amazing. We’d definitely be up for returning.

Lovely place and very friendly staff. Great food and choice of drinks. The area of Hawkshead was gorgeous. The room was very cozy, we stayed in room 7. The only downside was the creaky floor boards in the room that got a little annoying in the end and the lack of hanging space. We would definitely stay at the Red Lion Inn again

Everything was very good the staff were excellent. Appart from the TV which decided to loose connection about 9pm, we enjoyed our stay 😄

Really nice homely pub. The owners were very welcoming. Rooms were clean and comfy. Food was tasty. Would definitely return here

This was a last minute trip and honestly it was just a lovely one. We weren’t there long but the bed was comfy, the room was clean and the staff were friendly. Can’t complain.

The inn's rooms are quirky and characterful, fitting the age of the building: wonky floors and walls, nothing square. Facilities were a bit variable: the heating wasn't working but the staff were able to provide an electric heater to overcome that. The shower was either hot or cold, nothing in the middle. Hot was ok, with plenty of flow, so it worked. The food in the restaurant was excellent, good menu, really tasty. Location is great. There is only a small car park on site, but we got lucky.

Traditional old lakeland inn, rooms not luxurious, but in keeping with the age of place and lots of character. Good choice at breakfast, very tasty, and goo service

Great village pub in an ideal spot. Lovely village. Room was nice. Breakfast really good. Evening meals very good too. Will return here when next in the Lakes.

Value for money. The staff at the property were friendly. Easy to check in. It had a very close community feel to the pub and the whole village. The village is picturesque and quiet. The pub has an Italian menu on the evening and the breakfast was good. Very close to other pubs and restaurants and next to the coop convenience store. Great stay. The room was basic and had a sink in the bedroom and was a bit wonky due to it being an old building but had everything you needed.

The hamlet of Hawkshead is a national treasure. Tucked away from busier villages like Ambleside. The Red Lion made for a relaxed , comfortable evening with very friendly staff and locals.
