Lovely old pub. Room a little compact with our dog but fine for one night stay on way to Scotland. Everything clean. Food and drink a little expensive.

Great traditional pub
What a beautiful traditional pub! Full of beams and roaring real fires, it was a historical gem. We stayed for 1 night as a stopover on our journey to Scotland. The food was exceptional, although a little limited on vegetarian/pescatarian food. Tirril is very quiet and only a short walk to Penrith along the Eamont Way. It's well signposted especially when having to navigate the busy roads at Penrith on foot. Overall, a charming, friendly place. We will return.

Beautiful 300 year old English inn which oozed character and charm. Friendly, warm staff who made us all feel welcome and like old friends. Lovely food, nice bar drinks and comfortable, newly refurbished rooms. Great breakfast. One night stop which was very enjoyable. Big thanks to Mary the brilliant barmaid for her great service, banter and humour!!

Queens head Tirril
Wonderful 3 centuries old, traditional pub with excellent, clean and modern rooms. Ample parking. Nice covered outside area, essential in this British summer weather. Very reasonable priced accommodation, (and breakfast included) when you consider, its just a short bus ride to more expensive Pooley Bridge and Ullswater. Only one negative. The plumbing in the room has a saniflow type system, which is very loud when expelling waste water. Can hear it from the other rooms. Not good if you need to go in the middle of the night. Would definitely stay again though

Friendly welcome, great location. Bedroom and bathroom very modern. We stayed in Rm 7 the only negative was the blind did not cover all the window, with the light on standing in the shower and the window facing car the car park and other houses, we had to not use the light in the bathroom to ensure privacy. So a new blind would benefit. Homemade food was great abd best breakfast we have ever had. Good value for money, easy reach of the motorway.

Old world charm
7 ensuite rooms in an old English inn. Plenty of squeaky floor boards and ancient beams but thick carpets and a recent makeover has given it a lift. Close to the m6 and only 1/2 an hour from Keswick

The pub has lots of character and the staff were friendy and welcoming. However, after a long days drive on route to scotland we were very disapointed to find they were not serving food due to a staff shortage. This therefore necessitated a drive out. I would have preferred that they had emailed me earlier in the day as soon as the problem was known. Breakfast was ok, but again staff shortages meant we waited over 45 minutes for our food. The staff ( singular) was very nice and clearly working hard, but knowing the hotel was fully booked i would have thought they would sraff accordingly. So, a little disapointing but overall a nice place.

Couldn't recommend this place enough, very welcoming and nothing was too much, staff very polite and humorous, pub/hotel is very old around 300 yrs i believe but did not define the stay, it is one of those places it is what it is for the money thats in no way saying bad it does what it says on the tin, onto the breakfast absolutely amazing and tberr was no limit or request was too much, also the beer is very good, will i be returning? ABSOLUTELY! This place is also 5 min drive from ullswater and penrith 5 mins opposite way, great location and very quiet couldnt recommend it enough, see you soon guys

Nice staff but very dated interior and overpriced
Pro's - Hotel is in a lovely location, staff are very friendly, decent sized car park and the meals were very nice. Con's - I know it's over 300 years old but the interior is very dated, carpets very worn, rooms not the cleanest, ancient plumbing (water spurted through my sink whenever someone else in the hotel used a toilet or shower) and there was a really bad fly infestation in the dining area which was unpleasant.

Not recommended
I knew it was an old property when booking. The photo shows the state of the bathroom sink. Cleanliness obviously not a high priority. For business travellers, the late breakfast will probably mean you will have to leave it. I won't be going back

Pleasant and lovely service
Service is great and the restaurant has nice food at an affordable price. We stayed in a twin room for 2 nights and found the stay pleasant. Only negatives is the room felt a bit dated and the TV was about the same size as my phone, but the ensuite had a proper bath which made up for the small TV
