A lovely, characterful old building on the edge of the Lake District, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, helping us feel right at home. It is very convenient as a base, being on the road between Penrith and Pooley Bridge with a direct bus route between the two, going as far as Windermere, and for drivers it is a good place to access most parts of the Lake District, being not far from the M6 and A66, making access to Carlisle and the Scottish borders equally easy. The room was very clean and comfortable and had a nice en suite bathroom, and being situated in a pub we were never lacking for somewhere nice to eat and drink. The cooked breakfasts in the morning were delicious, some of the best we've ever had at a hotel, and very handy for preparing us for the day's adventures.

Very enjoyable stay while I was attending a course. Lovely managers and staff. Shame no meals other than breakfast available but I'm sure the managers will get this sorted soon. Ample parking. Very traditional English pub - I hope it stays that way! Quaint and charming in the bar, but rooms were modern and well equipped.

Excellent and cannot wait to return!!

We had an amazing stay. The staff started our great stay with so much help and information. The room was lovely (although at times loud as we had a macerator toilet which did give me a fright a few times). We have an evening meal in the pub and the food was beautiful with fantastic service. We stayed for 4 nights and had a delicious cooked breakfast every morning which really helped as our stay was due to us attending Kendal Calling festival. Everyone was so friendly and we enjoyed it so much we have booked for next years festival and cannot wait to return (just hoping to not have the macerator) Thank you all at the Queens Head we look forward to seeing you next year.
