Since the early 17th century we’ve been welcoming weary travellers and visitors to the village of Hawkshead. Whether you want to drink, dine or unwind, you will find The Queen’s Head the perfect base to explore the beautiful South Lakes of Cumbria and beyond. Our restaurant, awarded an AA rosette, has a menu to suit all tastes but, at its core, still serves humble pub food served with flair and on

ly created using the freshest seasonal produce with help from local suppliers. We love the patter of paws and so we’re an extremely dog friendly pub. Our bar area and snug offer roaring fires that will lull even the most excited four-legged pal to a quick slumber so you can enjoy a relaxing pint at the end of a busy day. Whether it’s a light lunch or an evening meal, The Queen’s Head offers a warm welcome, good food and great drink. We have thirteen comfortable guest rooms all with private bathrooms and all individually styled and furnished. Free Wi-Fi is available for all our guests

We'd like you to meet Rummage 🐾

Rummage is 2 years old, a Labrador Retriever and quite honestly one of the best visitors we've had all week. She came in for cuddles, got absolutely spoilt with treats and left with her tail wagging. We think that counts as a 5 star review.

Well behaved dogs are always welcome, whether you're passing through or staying with us. Drop a pic of your dog in the comments, we love to see them! 🐶
