A nearly perfect gem with lots of interest around the area, and very close to the northern Lake District
Great atmospheric traditional bar and a bedroom that was much better than expected. What limited food available was excellent.
Would benefit from a few more choices regarding main courses.

Does Queen's Head Askham have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Queen's Head Askham have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Queen's Head Askham?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
