Queens Head Hotel, Windermere

Accommodation Description:
At the Queens Head in Troutbeck you?ll find food, beers and rooms fit for royalty, without the performance. This idyllic 17th century Coaching Inn has an original four poster bar.

Maybe it?s the warm lakeland welcome, or perhaps the curiously eclectic mix of ancient, Cumbrian and contemporary. It probably has a lot to do with the food (and the beer). Or perhaps its location, tucked away in the Troutbeck Valley, just 3 miles from Windermere

Whatever it is that makes The Queen?s Head Hotel in Cumbria?s lakeland such a favourite with the regulars, you need to come and experience it firsthand. Rooms with fabulous four-posters and quirky walls from another century; textures and colours to relax the senses all combine to provide a welcome sanctuary, whether in the original Coaching Inn or the beautifully transformed ancient barn opposite. Don?t go home, sleep over

Make no mistake, Troutbeck is real Lakeland. This undulating valley, riddled with a maze of footpaths linking ancient hamlets at times appears to lure you into their gardens. Occasionally, Windermere Lake comes into view a few miles down the valley, tempting you away from the swathe of fell tops above

The best advice is to keep returning to ensure you haven?t missed anything. At least this way, you can eat your way through The Queen?s Head menu and stay in another gloriously comfortable room!

Dining Facilities
Probably the hardest thing you'll do here is choose what to eat. To be honest, it's far better to eat the gourmet pub food at the Queen's Head than read about it - safe to say that our chef and kitchen devotees deserve all the accolades they've amassed (though you may not see them on show - they covet only happy diners and their empty plates). Oh, and the beer's pretty good too! Choose from our selection of fine ales standing alongside the regulars at the Four Poster bar from Appleby Castle!
