I had lunch here on Wednesday. There is a proper restaurant section, at the back of the pub. They…read moreadvertise the fact that they have won awards for there food, on the menus outside. The two bar meals areas were pretty full, so I ate outside. This is in July. I only had to wait four minutes for my order to arrive, beautifully cooked haddock in batter, proper chips and mushy peas with mint.(see the photo!) I thought that it was reasonable at £7.95 and one of half a dozen cooked lunches at that price. They also do a two course meal (for the over 60s) for £5.95. There are also a good range of lighter options for lunch. Puddings however were disappointing, they sounded great, but were £5.45. One of the things which I should have born in mind is that, because it is such a tourist hot spot, normal prices are generally suspended. As a result the main courses were cheap, but the puddings the usual!! I enjoyed my bitter and there was a good selection of real ales, and also wines. The Queen's Head also does bed and breakfast. It costs £45 per person per night at the moment, according to the village website.

Wonderful pub. First visit in ten years or so and it hasn't disappointed! Not always a good idea to…read morego back to a place that you have great memories of. This is thankfully an exception to the rule! Food is still excellent - difficult to think of where I've had better fish and chips - and the real ales on offer are delicious.

I made the mistake of not checking last check in, but they allowed me to check in past 8pm. The room was a bit cozy. I was by myself so it was fine for me. Otherwise it might be a bit tight. Breakfast is from 8:00-9:45. Since I arrived so late, Sam (or Simon) offered to hold the kitchen for 15 min longer so I could sleep in which was very generous. Breakfast was so good! I had the Lakeland breakfast two mornings which included an egg, baked beans, black pudding, sausage, bacon, tomato, and mushrooms. I hate beans so I didn't get beans. It did come with toast and there's plenty of butter, marmalade, and marmite for you to use. When I first sat down, someone immediately asks me if I want a pot of tea. They also have hot chocolate and decaf if you choose. This was the perfect location. 5 min away from the nearest bus stop and the town. There are lots of small shops and restaurants to try. One thing I didn't like is that there are not a lot of lights on around the town late at night, but that's not really the establishments fault more like the town.

The bar is perhaps a little uninspiring and you may find that you HAVE to use the beer garden if you're not eating as all the tables seem to be reserved for those eating (I did notice that you only have to order tea or coffee to qualify for a table). It's the nature of a hotel next to a marina in the Lake District that it's got a good few weekend yachting types so hopefully you know your jib from your boom.
