This 17th-century Elizabethan inn has a peaceful location in the Troutbeck Valley, with weaving footpaths that link the nearby ancient hamlets. It offers à la carte cuisine, and is 1.5 miles from the former home of Beatrix Potter.
Rooms at The Queen's Head Hotel have traditional furnishings with a contemporary twist. Each comes with a multi-channel TV and facilities for making tea and coffee.
There is free WiFi in some of the rooms, and space for free private parking on site. Each morning, a full cooked breakfast is available, and in the bar a variety of drinks can be enjoyed.
Windermere is 3 miles from The Queen’s Head, and Ambleside is just over 10 minutes away by car.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.
