Queens Head Inn, Tirril

Food was especially good - very good bar meals, and outstanding breakfasts, with lots of options and generous portions. Staff were excellent, especially the breakfast staff. Room was very comfortable, with an outstanding double shower, very comfortable bed, very good heating (needed in the Lakes in February!).

There are places you go to in life with little expectation that blow you away with what they deliver. This is such a place. The layout is odd, due to the 300 year old property, but finished to a very high standard. Very friendly staff, pet friendly, fantastic open fire, wonderful real ale and the food was great. It was THAT good I'm planning the return trip with the wife as the facilities were so good. Our room was a twin, it was found to be immaculately clean with a sparkling bathroom. The room was warm without being overbearing and the hot water was hot...not just lukewarm. Stunningly fantastic place.

All the staff were fantastic. On check in the manager upgraded us to a larger room which had been recently refurbished to a high standard with stylish en suite shower room. Complimentary tea coffee etc & delicious shortbread bics. Lovely 300 year old traditional pub that had the log fire on one of the nights. Usual bar foid menu but all good quality ingredients cooked to perfection. We had the fish & chips, Lovely fresh fish in a crisp batter and the steak & ale pie, succulent steak in a rich beef gravy. Chocolate brownie for dessert all finished off with a cappuccino. The breakfasts were equally as good & portions very generous. Good walks from the door over to Askham village and onto the Ullswater fells. Can definitely recommend and will stay again.

A very pleasant if too short stay in an inn dating back to 1719. The accommodation upstairs is modern but the rooms downstairs, particularly the bar areas are those of a proper traditional pub. A great place for an evening meal and a pint before retiring. Breakfast was excellent and the staff very friendly.

The hotel was very good value for money and is in a beautiful area of the Lake District. Food in the bar was of good quality and breakfast was incredibly good. Dogs are very welcome and the staff were extremely friendly and efficient.
