Working at
The Kings Arms

At The Kings Arms, we’re all about teamwork, warm welcomes, and a bit of Lake District magic. We’re a small but mighty crew who take pride in what we do – whether that’s serving up a cracking roast, mixing the perfect G&T, or giving guests a proper night’s sleep. You’ll get stuck in, have fun, and be part of something that feels more like a family than a workplace.

This weekend is the perfect time to pop over….it definitely feels like Autumn but we are looking forward to a dry weekend. 🍁🍂
There’s something special about a stay at the Kings.

Each of our bedrooms is individually designed with antique furniture, textiles, prints and brimming with character…..no two rooms are the same.

Recharge in the picturesque village of Hawkshead….starting with breakfast and then spend the day exploring the villages, lakes and mountains of the glorious Lake District National Park.
A great day spent hiking up Great Dodd, off-road driving….a pint and dinner at The Kings…..👌
