We visited the Kings Arms last weekend as part of a long weekend in the Lake District. The hotel is right in the centre of Hawkshead and couldn't be better located for exploring the picturesque village. We ate in the popular restaurant on one of the nights and were really impressed with the food which was both interesting and of... More

Dined here with my family in April 2012. The food here is of a really good quality, ample portions and good service too. Two of our party had the ribeye steaks (which were lovely) and two of us had the sausage and mash. No complaints at all, and we will be back. The bar has a good range of real... More

A wonderful place to stay when touring the Lake District. Great food reasonably priced and a staff with warm hospitality makes you feel welcome immediately.

This is a charming, cosy pub in the beautiful village of Hawkshead. They have local Hawkshead Brewery beer to enjoy either inside by the fire during the winter months or outside by the village square in the summer. Would definitely recommend. More

We stayed here for 3 nights between Xmas-New Year, our annual get away from the festive hurly burly. I've been walking in the Lakes for over 40 years and have seen it change from a land of farmers and fellwalkers in Fords, to one of designer outerwear shops, country house hotels and yuppies in ever-larger German vehicles. Even the cyclists'... More
