Queens Head Inn

This 7 room village hotel is a fabulous place to stay and then explore the area. It is in easy reach of Penrith, Keswick and Derwent Water, Ullswater and Pooley Bridge and many other places. The hotel is everything it should be, clean and tidy and the decor is truly rural and rustic. The rooms and facilities are modern and there is ample parking in the car park at the rear. The breakfast menu will satisfy the largest appetite to those who want less, and you can even mix and match what you want on your plate if that takes your fancy, the evening menu also has a good variety to choose from and comes highly recommended. All the staff we met during our stay here were fabulous, polite, welcoming and friendly and made our short stay here very, very enjoyable. We can recommended this accommodation to all travellers, I don't think you will be disappointed, we would certainly choose this hotel if we are ever in this part of Cumbria in the future. A Big Thank you to everybody.

The Queen's Head is an attractive old pub. Unlike so many others it has not had most of its original features ripped out, so retains a lot of character. It is conveniently situated for exploring the north-eastern Lake District, especially Ullswater and Haweswater. I had an enjoyable 3 night stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was excellent, and there was a good selection of real ales. The bedroom and en-suite bathroom were not particularly roomy, but perfectly adequate and clean. The fine and interesting St Michael's Church in nearby Barton is well worth a visit. I plan to return next year.

Lovely welcome on a not so lovely day! Storm Bert brought his challenges but Steph welcomed us with a smile and a lovely cosy pub and room & couldn’t do enough for us from start to finish. Food was AMAZING! So much so that I’ll happily travel from Newcastle upon Tyne for a day visit, especially if the Parpadelle Pork is on the menu!
