Popped in here for a cider after a long walk over the fells. Made to feel instantly welcome by ALL staff, told that my little dog could come inside with me, then sat outside and the manager came over to give my dog a treat to eat. Very friendly, a lovely and much needed pint and a superb location. Who needs more?! Thank you to all staff for being so welcoming today!
I stayed at the Kings Arms in Hawkshead for 2 nights over a weekend with my wife. The pub offers good value for its rooms, especially given its location in the centre of the village. The rooms reflect the competitive price and are clean and functional. If I was to give bit of feedback it would be to replace the mattress and pillows, which were well past sensible replacement stage and just doing this would add a huge boost for a comfortable stay.
The pub itself is always busy with walkers and is very dog friendly. Food is served, although if you want an evening meal, book or get in early as it gets busy. We had a very warm welcome by all the staff working and they are very helpful and friendly.
The location is perfect in the centre of the village and there are other pubs and cafe’s with 2 minutes.
If I stayed again in Hawkshead I would probably try and get a slightly more expensive room elsewhere,with newer sleeping facilitates. If the Kings Arms refreshed its beds I would have no issues staying again.
Excellent food and drink.
We went on a Wednesday lunchtime and were able to get a small table outside. Food service didn’t start until 13:00, but it was very pleasant sitting there with a fine pint of Hawkshead bitter.
We both had the home-made steak pie with chips and mushy peas which was superb.
Staff were great and it felt very Covid safe.
