Not bad but could do with a good fettle now and again I didn't like the bird droppings on the bedroom window sill and the shower needed repairing.

Lovely old pub. The rooms great and clean but the beds were a bit bumpy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. On the first night, I had belly pork, which was very tender and tasty. The second night I had a burger, but it was dry. All in all, it was a great break

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.

Lovely inn with excellent breakfast and dinner service. Rooms are well appointed and beautifully decorated and the outside seating for afternoon tea or a pint is wonderful. The area is stunning and delightful for a walk. Highly recommend this exceptional inn.

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.
