Our room was beautiful and spotless when we arrived. Check in was really easy and the welcome email gave us all the information we needed.
We visited in January so a lot of the local pubs were closed but we just travelled out of the village. I can imagine that when everything is open you wouldn't need to leave Hawkshead. We did a walk locally up to Latterbarrow and it was a great view over Hawkshead.
Poppi Red was closed for our first day but we had breakfast there on the second day and it was amazing. if we'd stayed longer we would have had dinner there as the menu looked great and the staff couldn't do enough for you.
Highly recommend.
No parking but the car park was seconds away and reasonably priced. It wouldn't put me off staying again.

Noisy peasant guests. A couple come back to the property around 12.30Am shouting and using foul language. They had obviously come back from the local pub, and couldn't get in because they must have forgotten the door code.
I heard them, but I totally ignored them when they were at the door. I thought why should I get out of bed and let them in when they shouldn't have gotten into a drunken state, and forgotten the door code.They were council estate types foul mouthed I must stress. The language coming from the females mouth was appalling. Pure disgusting grammar.
After several attempts to get Into the property, they gave up, and must have went and slept in the car.
The following night was even worse. They were intoxicated again, and were up and down the stairs all night, clashing doors etc.
Someone tried my room door when I was in bed. I was terrified to get up and investigate, in case I was assaulted etc.
This was not poppi reds fault. God didn't equip the proprietor, with a crystal ball, but the whole episode spoilt my supposedly quiet weekend away.

The location is perfect. The accommodation is 5star. Best we have stayed in, in the lakes.
We have booked again for September.
Unfortunately the Bistro was closed, so we couldn’t eat there. However we was informed after booking that we could cancel if we wished. They close for 2 weeks in January
8.0
The room was clean and fresh. The bed was comfortable with good amenities such as coffee and coffee maker, tv etc. The electronic keypads for getting in were good, it meant it was more self service and you didn’t worry about key cards. The location is really central in the small village to all the shops and eateries and easy to get to some good walks. We walked to near Sawrey which was only a couple of miles.
Everything was closed except the Red Lion which was nice and welcoming. This was due to the time of year though and to be expected after Christmas and with the weather.

We loved our stay here at the Hive. The location was great, a lovely little village with a lot of things around to do. Our doggie also loved the walks around! I would 100% recommend to anyone

Compact, comfortable and well fitted out room
Lack of a cooked breakfast option as the cafe was closed was unfortunate

Very clean and well presented accommodation. Excellent and courteous service from very professional and efficient staff. Great breakfast, all in all, a great experience. I would definitely stay there again.
Though the room/bathroom are very well presented and super clean, they are on the small side.

Lovely place, dog friendly, clean, small cafe / restaurant downstairs offering beautiful food, super friendly staff. Great location, it is a tiny village that has it all - from CoOp and pharmacy to places to buy clothes and pubs. Bus stop available. Nice things to do and see (walks, Beatrix Potter etc) nearby. Would definitely recommend.
It is not a thing I did not like but thought to mention that a small folder with wifi password, information about local activities and possibly smart tv with access to Netflix app would be nice on a rainy day.

The staff were exremely attentive, and the room was spotless ,with all high quality bedding and furniture. the room was decorated to a very high standard and the food was excellent, this includes the breakfast and the meals served in the bistro. This is a gem within the gem of Hawkshead. Value for money and great service is a rarety these days and this establishment oozes both.
I couldn't stay longer.

This is a charming little hotel. Very good communication prior to arrival. I liked the fact it was self check in, with no keys. The room was small, but perfect for what we needed. Plenty of tea, milk, sugar etc.
The restaurant and staff were very good. On our first morning, we had limited time for breakfast due to running a marathon. I explained to the staff our need for a quick breakfast, asking for food which was not on the menu. They happily brought out what I asked for in a prompt manner. Breakfast the 2nd morning, was much more relaxed, and I had a very nice full English. Our evening meal was very nice, with very friendly waiters.
The one thing I did not like, was the door into the bathroom. This was a sliding frosted glass door. Which meant if the bathroom was used during the night, the light flooded the bedroom. And every noise form the bathroom could be heard.
9.0
That everyone was nice polite and very helpful in a smallish room which was warm comfy and had everything we needed
That no one mentioned how much the parking fees were in the car park for 24 hours!
