Lovely scenery but tired hotel

Lovely hotel, very dated and needs a refurb but for hiking trip was value for money. Beer garden was stunning and lots of grounds to walk over.

Keswick hotel

Very helpful staff on reception. Great evening meal. Lovely choice and fresh & hot. Excellent service too… Our room overlooked the lake and was fabulous… Whilst the hotel is a little tired the staff were not at all. They were great. A great place for walking around the lake .

Lovely Stay In Keswick

It's a lovely hotel with excellent grounds to walk the dogs in. Although it could do with a paint touch up in places and some TLC The room we had was clean and the bed was comfy. The service was good however they appeared to be short staffed. The young waitress in the dining room serving evening meal works really hard, and she's a credit to the hotel. The food at both breakfast and in the evening was really nice. We would return to this hotel again if staying over in Keswick.

Business trip

Nice hotel. Staff were really pleasant. Nice bar and garden. Rooms ok. No problems. I would say decoration needed. Down side. Restaurant was quite limited considering nothing around. Set menu, cant eat in bar. Generally no problems

Clean and comfortable

Lovely location and good hotel. Rooms were clean and comfortable, hallways were very noisy/creeky and stairwells were dated. Good bar area and restaurant, with a very good breakfast. Unfortunately the evening meal service was not available, no prior notice was given of this and alternative plans had to be made.
Darren, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall it was a pleasant stay, the staff were really welcoming and friendly. Great location. Unfortunately no dinner service was available on the evening I arrived although I had requested this on my booking I wasn't informed until I arrived at the hotel. I wasn't particularly impressed at having to pay for parking and the berries at breakfast were still frozen! Other than than it was a really lovely stay, very dog friendly.

Great value overnight stay

Managed to get access to our room early. Always a good sign. Hotel and rooms looked very tired. Need freshening up. However it was clean and the breakfast was great. Great value
Christopher, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

In need of some TLC .

A hotel very much past its prime in need of some TLC . See photos - chipped painted wood work , ill fitting door hardware , mould in bathroom on grout , tiles , silicone & shower curtain . Bath panel damaged . Staining on walls , badly patched ceiling & curtains too short so lining hangs below . So disappointing when the photos online look so inviting & the property appears well kept . Absolutely not worth the price . Would NOT recommend .

Lovely warm welcome on Sunday afternoon from the lady on reception. Room clean and tidy, maybe a little dated but didnt spoil our experience
Janet, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Never again

This was by far one of the worse hotels I have ever stayed at. The bedsheet was stained. On check in it was obvious someone had been smoking in the reception. The room was absolutely awful it was dirty in poor repair, struggled to lock the door. The bathroom was outdated the ceiling paint was flaking off. I was not sure what was growing around the shower gel dispenser. The breakfast was adequate.

The bar and dining areas were cold. My room was warm and comfortable. Dining was very good. Charging for parking in their own car park was not good. My bathroom needs to be modernised with a better shower

6/10 Good

Night stay on the outskirts of Keswick.

We stayed for a night on the 6th of February 25. A nice welcome but I’d say that the hotel needs a little ‘love’ but it is currently getting upgraded so that may come. Our room was warm and the bed comfortable. Used the shower which also was good. Breakfast is self service and the food was warm and well presented. I would use the hotel again if I wanted a cheap place to stay. It is around a mile from Keswick and if you walk go the long way round because the quicker way is full of large puddles and can be a bit hazardous and you might need wellies !! One more thing is that book your taxi from the hotel because there are very few if any taxis in Keswick.
