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 2 nights. Very small cozy room needs some love really, but clean and tidy. Breakfast is outstanding. Main meal the same.. Food is very, very good here. Alex the host, thoughtfully reserved a table for us on the Friday when we arrived late..as the place was rammed... you need to book beforehand as it gets busy. Reasonable stocked bar, but it's all about food here.

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! 🌄🍻🛌
