Loved out stay at this hotel and restaurant on our final day in the Lakes. We stayed in Scafell Pike with the only negative being the room was very hot (we stayed in late Aug). We would definitely stay there again.

A lovely country Inn serving great food. Our double room was spacious and very comfortable. There are circular walks directly from the hotel that we sadly didn’t have time to try out, but this only serves as a good reason to come again!

Excellent stay - great service and facilities

Excellent stay. The hotel is based around a pub, that gives you a real feel of country British. Log fires, oak beams set the scene for a lovely setting to stay and dine. The room was lovely, featuring a comfy bed, tv and adequate bathroom. Breakfast and dinner was really good.

We've just spent a lovely week at the Queen's Head at Troutbeck, Windermere. Lovely staff. Great food. Just near enough Windermere without being in the hustle and bustle and easy walks right from the door! We hope to return again soon.
