Welcome

Located 4 miles from Ambleside and Windermere and nestled on the side of the fells which overlook the Troutbeck Valley stands The Queens Head, a 17th century coaching inn.

The new Queens Head features a cosy drinking area with newly-refurbished dining areas and 10 comfortable en-suite guest bedrooms providing the perfect base for guests to Cumbria and, of course, their four legged companions. 

Renowned for serving some of the finest food in the area, The Queens Head’s new menu will highlight a mixture of homely classic pub food with a Cumbrian flair.
