N/A

The location very quaint

Bathroom was very small

So extremely friendly people. Food unbelievably brilliant. Old building but that adds to it's charm. Excellent atmosphere. Have been before and will definitely be back again.

Nothing at all, it was all good.

Very cosy pub

All the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and tidy, basic but we were out a lot so comfy bed, bathroom and kettle was all we really needed. Everything is on the doorstep anyway. Loved the pub is old and has lots of character. Parking outside. Will definitely stay here again.

Never stayed in Hawkshead before so it was a first but loved the quaint streets, the bus was every hour really good you could head towards Coniston and as far as Windermere and Keswick, we opted for 6 mile hike to Ambleside it was lovely. There are a number of hotels and eateries in and around Hawkshead lovely choice our hotel was 15th Century building loved that fact and the thought of all the history and indeed the stories that were held within those walls. We were greeted by Fergus and V as we booked in late it was v busy in the barthey told us how to get in our rooms and we were lucky enough to find a car parking space in one of the six atbl the hotel. The main car park was 5 minutes walk from our location.

Unfortunately we had a problem with our heating and reported it however generally it was quite warm in the hotel, we were only staying for 2 nights but nobody attended to look at it. We also reported a leaking shower as we left I'm sure they would sort it in due course.

Everything !

Nothing, everything was great.

Friendly staff and service. Good breakfast. Great location

Extremely small rooms. Unlevel floors.

Location and very nice friendly staff Lovely food

Very small room

The staff were all very nice, friendly and helpful.

There were not much in the way of healthy options for breakfast, but the bigger issue was it was only served between 08.30 and 09.15 That is the latest start to breakfast I have encountered anywhere in the world. We wanted to get off walking early but it wasn’t really an option. I also needed to do some work and there was no desk or table to sit at.

Central location great staff

The room was clean and perfect for our stay. I thought you'd hear the pub downstairs and it was very well isolated, I didn't hear a thing. Staff was very welcoming and the breakfast was very good! Recommend.

Great location. Recently been redecorated and now managed by a great team. Great food and reasonably priced.

Not much

Great room snd amazing breakfast

Nothing

The location was okay I suppose, as long as you had a car. Although you’ll probably have to pay to park it in the village centre car park as there are only 4-5 spaces on the side of the hotel and they’re not reserved for guests.

Where to begin. Dirty, broken, awful. I’ve used booking.com for the past 8 years and never had an issue until now. The room had dirty socks behind the curtain when we arrived. We had dirty sheets on the bed that weren’t changed at any point on our stay. The floor was filthy, not hoovered at all and very unclean. A cotton bud was on the floor for 3 days when we got there. Dirty towels one night too so we had to share towels as there was no one there. Despite saying 24/7 security there was no one there over night. The sockets power went out in room 8 one evening and we informed the manager who apologised but said that he couldn’t get a sparky out. He sent a waiter to go and get an extension lead from his garage that turned up an hour later after being sent to the wrong room. Weren’t offered any compensation for this or a free breakfast or a drink or even to charge our phones behind the bar. Rooms were “serviced” daily. Not cleaned. Broken toilet seat, black mould in the shower and a leaky toilet. Vile. Would’ve spoken to a manager about this but the only time we ever saw them was when the power went out. The rooms are dusty and not cleaned, “serviced” as they say. We stayed 6 nights and honestly I would not recommend at all. We also had the pleasure of someone trying to get into our room one night with a key and the lock turned, luckily my partner noticed and got out of bed and put the lock on! Nice and safe, just what you like. Awful. The worst place I have ever stayed at. Complained to booking.com as well and the hotel said that it had been “serviced” and that they offered us an extension lead and no unathorised access was made to the room. It’s the first time I have ever complained since using booking.com since 2017 and very disappointed. I would say pay extra and definitely stay somewhere else. And if you are silly enough to stay here, book the breakfast beforehand or else it’s £15 per person per day.

Breakfast was superb ! Large selection and full english was delicious. The pub offers a really nice lunch/Dinner menu - Would recommend the Pie. The quiz on Saturday night was great joining in with the locals :)

Hawkshead is a beautiful village so the setting is great. The room was nice, clean amd comfortable. Breakfast was really good and the food in the evening was very good.

Its very tired and with a little bit of TLC would be as good as its neighbouring pubs. Carpet needs replacing etc. Its a busy pub so a little noisy at the weekend, only til 11pm though.

We didn’t have breakfast but we had dinner every evening and it was excellent, highly recommend. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the hotel situation was great.

Parking was a bit of a nightmare.

The breakfast was fine. Staff very helpful. The accommodation was very disappointing property needs renovation.

Accommodation. Very old and tired needed updating. Floors sink in bedroom when walking on thrm

Wonderful position. Very friendly staff. Good food.

Room 8 could do with some updating. Toilet seat loose and sink cracked. Minor things, but out of synch with everything else, which was good.

The comfortable bed and silent room during the night.

Was too expensive £76 without breakfast.Postcode seemed to be Amblesides but 15 minutes drive from Amblesides. A small village.

Fantastic location, great food lots of choices of drinks , the staff are very welcoming and friendly

Good location and fab Sunday Roast

Sink in bedroom, tiny bathroom and TV not working. The full English breakfast was greasy

Charming and quirky inn . Make you feel like step back in time.rooms clean and large, bed are comfortable .

Entering the building there is very distinctive musty sweaty smell which linger through the stairways . Luckily it did not linger into the rooms .
