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
The price is highly affordable. The toilets and shower rooms are just next door. Though they say they are shared, you never wait on a queue. Clean and well maintained rooms and toilets. Very safe and homely. There are multi use kitchen, party room, self service kitchen, buffet rooms all clean, great food, great service!
The location is strategic for a Lake District visitor. No need to get confused, you are choosing one of the best places to stay if you are visiting Lake District for a couple of days.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Lovely beautifully decorated rooms. Lovely warm fires downstairs. Fabulous breakfasts. Dog friendly. Very friendly owners. Excellent location for South Lakes and hiking. 2 very good eating places within walking distance: Poppy Red and Red Lion.

Loved staying in this listed building with the bedroom being modern and a bit different. The shower was fab too. Hotel was at a great central location in Hawkshead and the Staff were very helpful, the breakfasts were lovely.
We had a nice 4 day break, good local walks, great breakfast, dog friendly at no additional cost. We didn’t move the car for 4 days as lots to do and see. Friendly staff and lots of dog treats given. Will be staying again.
A good, historic property in a beautiful village. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We were made to feel very welcome. If Hawkshead was easier to get to by public transport, we'd be back within weeks.
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.
