Lovely local pub with board games to play while you wait for your food.
The Partridge supreme was delicious. Everyone else enjoyed their meals except for the fish and chips which was rather greasy.
Stayed here with my partner while visiting friends. A cosy pub, our room was part of the attic, spacious bedroom, but not high enough for me (no fault of the pub just my height)!
Mind the bathroom was the size of an aircraft toilet and a 🚿 like a ⚰️ with a glass door! At least it was en-suite, space a premium.
A full English breakfast was nice and filling, served with a smile. (Despite while waiting to be placed at a table, one guest was very rude to the owner. I did feel it was not the place for a confrontation in front of guests!)
Hosts helpful and friendly.
Pub was near fully booked with it being the Cornoation weekend and a party 🥳 going on in the square.
All-in-all an enjoyable stay.
And King Charles III popped in for a quick waltz.
A Great Stay at The Red Lion Hawkshead.
My recent visit near Ambleside to The Red Lion Hawkshead was fantastic. The blend of modern comforts and historic charm created a unique and enjoyable experience. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and the refurbished pub and cozy bedrooms made for a comfortable stay. The local flavors in their cuisine and the inviting atmosphere added to the enjoyment. Overall, The Red Lion Hawkshead is a gem in the heart of the amazing Lake District. I highly recommend a stay to experience the warm hospitality and delightful setting! 🌄🍻🛌
We arrived at the red lion shortly before out check in time but they let us check in early which was great! We had dinner in house for 3 of our nights and I can't fault the food, absolutely delicious! The breakfast that's included with our stay was also fantastic and there were choices of hot breakfast or continental!
The room was very clean and tidy, not the biggest but no complaints. Staff are really happy and helpful, if we needed something, they went and got it and they have such a brilliant attitude to what they do and the guests they cater for, they also have a fun sense of humour too! There were no car parking spaces left so one of the members of staff made space for us to park. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would recommend. Thank you all at Red Lion!!!
Great pub, we have eaten here many times over the years and for lunch and dinner this week on several occasions. The food is always well prepared, the beers well kept and the family running it are friendly with the service.
Two friends and I stayed here for a Saturday after climbing Scafell Pike.
It’s is a beautiful location and there is a large car park about a 3/4 minute walk away from the pub.
The room was lovely and well kept with a large television and amenities for hot chocolates, teas and biscuits etc.
The evening food was reasonably priced and so were the drinks, even having a nice fruity cider on tap!
The following morning breakfast provided for free was amazing with a large selection of cereals, coffees, toast, and then a decent full English breakfast.
The staff were extremely friendly and approachable and made our stay very enjoyable.
5 stars would definitely recommend a stay here if visiting the Lake District. Especially considering the value for money.
Lovely food, nice pint and good service 👍
It's a nice pub and the food was OK. They are short staffed unfortunately, so quite a few things on the menu not available but what we had was nice.
Superb. Lovely querky room, the bed was comfy and the bedding was great. My had family room with extra beds. We had water bottles and tea/coffee facilities, all lovely, tidy and clean. Staff was great, very pleasant and quick to help. Limited car park spaces, we had to drive around village before we could park in the car park. We had a nice dinner, fish and chips was very good. The included breakfast was excellent with a choice of full English, eggs Benedict, or with smoked salmon...and some other choices. Also had pastries, cereals, fresh fruit, juices,..Good location, right in the village. Really happy with it. I would stay again.
Staff were warm and friendly, and more than accommodating. Food was excellent and the room was lovely. Couldn't be happier with my stay 😊
