Red Lion Inn

Red Lion Inn

📍 Main St, Hawkshead
★★★ 8.0 (30 reviews)

"Visited for evening meal in Sept. Staff were lovely and welcoming and we were given a choice of tables in the lower dining room. Our main meals (Mac&Cheese pie, Steak &Ale pie) were brilliant! Tasty, with beautiful tender meat and great accompaniments. Pudding (lemon posset & apple crumble) were to die for, especially the posset which was served with a spiced blackcurrant coulis. Highly recommend this great pub with food that is definitely a cut above"

The Hive at Poppi-Red

📍 The Hive, main street, Hawkshead
★★★ 8.4 (36 reviews)

"Unfortunately after a really nice stay there was some confusion as to whether or not our breakfast was included. After being advised that it was, we all sat down to our breakfast cereal and tea. Once we were half way through eating we were told that there had been a mistake and breakfast wasn't included. We offered to pay for what we had had, but were told that we needed to pay £15 each, as even though we had only had cereal and a pot of tea we needed to pay for a full English too. We did actually pay this amount (£75 in total) but were later advised that as a gesture of good will we would be reimbursed. Unfortunately this still has not happened even though I have contacted them 3 times. I am still waiting for a reply. Such a shame. We won't be staying again"

"The whole experience was superb, from the welcome accommodation, and the breakfast. The accommodation was so clean, bed so comfortable, beautifully decorated, had a lovely seating area in our room looking out at the veiw. Would definitely go back"

Red Lion Inn ★★★
"Long weekend stay, we never enquired about parking as there is only limited parking and not sure if you can book or first come, we had decided to use the public car park £9 a day. Short walk to pub, friendly welcome and shown room, we were on top floor, fine for us but maybe not for anyone with mobility issues. Floors and walls are all angles with building being really old, adds to charm. Ate in a couple of times all meals really nice (especially the steak pie). Had comfortable sleeps and hearty breakfasts. Great location for walks and exploring in car."

The Hive at Poppi-Red ★★★
"The rooms have clearly had some thought and care in their design and decoration HOWEVER they desperately need some redecoration (badly scuffed and coffee stained walls) and a very deep clean. I stayed in the smallest room, which was adequate and well appointed, but couldn’t wait to leave by the morning. It would have been good value if someone seemed to care about the place. No staff on hand, other than surly restaurant staff who seem to have nothing to do with the rooms above. In it’s current condition, I couldn’t recommend it."

"Excellent stay at a lovely country property in a perfect location for access to the heart of the Lake District. Dave was a great host, friendly and accommodating and the breakfast spot on. Rooms lovely and clean with great views over the best landscapes England has to offer."
