Queen's Head Hotel

Queen's Head Hotel Review

An unpretentious 17th-century inn 3 miles north of Windermere, the Queen's Head is renowned for innovative pub food such as bobotie (a curried South African dish with minced lamb, almonds, and apricots). It's also noted for real ales served from what was once an Elizabethan four-poster bed. The intimate dining rooms have oak beams, flagged floors, and log fires. Lunches can be less hearty than the excellent evening meals. If you want to stay overnight, the 15 guest rooms have splendid views.
