The hotel was near to Helvellyn for our walk, our third visit to this hotel. The staff were all very hardworking and lovely. The meals and choices were very good as were the bar choices. A lovely old building.

Fantastic hotel, lovely staff, delicious food and central location to all the hotspots with a bus stop across the road with a regular bus service to and from all the hotspots. Room for 1 was clean and beautifully decorated but very small which meant that on warm sunny nights the heat builds up making it uncomfortable to get ready and sleep in, easy fix, needs Air Con or a decent fan as the ones in the room were inadequate, however would this stop me returning, absolutely not as everything else in the Kings Head Inn was first class. Special shout to Sean/Shaun who gave me some lovely scenic places to walk.

The pub, staff and food were excellent. The bedroom was tiny and the on-suite even smaller. This would be difficult for those with mobility issues. You couldn’t turn the shower on without being in it. There was a small heater fan which was more than useless, although it was a hot weekend.

We stayed at the King’s Head because it is so close to the Thirlmere path to Helvellyn - just 2 minutes from the Swirls Car Park. We really enjoyed it . Great location, excellent menu, lovely gardens and very accommodating and friendly staff team (and helpful too). Great range of beers and wines. We wanted to walk early so we were given breakfast before official opening times, and they made us an excellent pack up. Room was clean and comfy, nice bathroom and toiletries. Thank you Peter, Jo and all the other colleagues who made our stay so good - it helped after a long walk or two! We look forward to returning.

We had a lovely stay. The atmosphere was amazing, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The Inn is this amazing old building that’s creaky and has historical atmosphere. The place is very clean. The rooms are warm and clean and the ensuite was clean, the road noise was dulled down by the double glazed windows. The breakfast and meals were delicious. The out door patio area is a great place to sit and meet others. There is road noise but doesn’t take anything away from the lovely surroundings.

Overall, it was a nice stay. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and in a good location. The rooms were comfortable and housekeeping did a good job during our visit. Most of the staff were polite and helpful, which made our stay pleasant. However, I did have a disappointing experience with the manager. I told him that I didn’t want a baby cot in the room because it looked dirty. Instead of understanding my concern, he questioned me in a slightly rude manner and gave me an unfriendly look. As a guest, I believe every concern should be handled with courtesy and professionalism, no matter how small it may seem. This interaction left a bad impression, which is why I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5. Good customer service is as important as the property itself. I would still recommend this hotel for its cleanliness, facilities, and location — but I hope the management works on their attitude and how they deal with guest feedback.
