In the heart of Lake District village, Hawkshead, the iconic Queens Head pub reveals a stunning transformation that blends tradition with contemporary charm. After a period of closure for extensive refurbishment, the pub now boasts 16 revamped guest bedrooms and an authentic makeover of its much-loved interiors.
As a proud member of Robinsons’ Individual Inns collection, the Queens Head has long been celebrated for its premium pub experience, offering not only cosy pub vibes but also a delectable array of culinary delights and libations. Now, with the sixth-generation family brewers injecting substantial capital into its rejuvenation, the classic pub has embarked on a new chapter.
Despite the facelift, the Queens Head retains its timelessness, with characteristic low ceilings, exposed beams, and snug corners that give off that classic essense of intimacy and nostalgia. Carefully curated lighter wooden features lend the space a brighter, airier ambiance while preserving the heritage and architectural integrity of the listed building.
Drawing inspiration from the surrounding beauty of the Lake District, the design ethos pays homage to literary luminaries such as William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, infusing the décor with subtle nods to their enduring legacies. Guests can expect to be transported into a realm where nature’s splendour collides with artistic expression, creating an atmosphere of tranquility.
For those seeking solace amid the serenity of the Lakes, the Queens Head beckons with its brand-new bedrooms, each a sanctuary of comfort and style. Reflecting the rural charm of the region, the accommodations are adorned with botanical wallpapers, warm hues, and rustic oak woodwork; evoking the timeless appeal of a traditional farmhouse retreat.
Whether you’re craving a culinary adventure, a cosy evening by the fireside, or a peaceful sojourn in a quaint rural village, the Queens Head Hawkshead stands as a beacon of hospitality and rejuvenation. With its illustrious heritage and newfound modernity, it promises an unforgettable escape into the clutch of the Lake District’s famous beauty.
