Skiddaw Hotel  

It is set in a lovely part of the Lake District and quick accesss to the shops.

The pillows were to hard and the extractor fan in the toilet was only supposed to carry on running for a couple of minutes after the light is switched off.When myself and my Wife went to bed and settled down it was still running a hour later so this added to the hard pillows you can guess i did not sleep to well.Other than that it was ok.

Comfortable surruondings and friendly staff. Good restaurant sevice and room was fine with good bathroom

Restaurent sevice good but staff did not engage I.e a bit over professional.

I stayed here with friends for one night and, despite my negatives below, would do so again. My room was clean, staff friendly and I'd definitely recommend trying the excellent restaurant for your evening meal. Location-wise it sits right in the middle of Keswick, with Derwentwater Lake and Hope Park no more than a 10 minute walk from the front door.

Just a couple of negative points - 1. The hotel sits on the main high street and right next door to a pub/nightclub. On the Saturday night I stayed I found getting to sleep difficult due to the noise on the street outside generated by clubbers which lasted until 3am. 2. When booking I paid £10 extra to upgrade to a "Summit Single", which according to the website was a "spacious room with bathrobes and luxurious toiletries". Despite this, the room was no bigger than your average basic Travelodge effort and the luxurious toiletries consisted of a tiny bar of soap, and small bottles of shower gel and shampoo - i.e nothing more than you would expect to receive as standard.

Friendly staff, good reception/dining room staff, comfortable room. Perfect for a short walking break in Keswick.

The location was good.The staff were excelent so helpful and friendly.Hotel was very clean,the food was excelent and good value.

We found the hotel just great ,no complaints at all .

Friendly staff good food and a nice relaxing atmosphere

Good breakfast

Bed too small. No sweeteners in the room or at breakfast, had to ask for them. Only terrestrial TV.

Good service convenient dog friendly

The excellent location in the northern lake district for walking or driving to beautiful places, The hotel is very good and the reception staff were excellent.

The quality of the food and the limited choice of the buffet breakfast was disappointing.

The hotel was warm and comfortable the staff very polite and helpful It is situated in an ideal position being able to park out the back was also an asset. Would use the hotel again and would recommend it to others. Thank you all for a lovely 3 days.

Being located in the centre of Keswick it is an ideal hotel to serve the local area, particularly for sight seeing. Lovely views and easy walk to shops and facilities. Food and service is excellent and staff very friendly.

A nice bath.

This is the 2nd time I have stayed at the Skiddaw Hotel albeit 20 years ago. The Hotel in my opinion is now a little dated, with creaking floors, sloping walls, and guest rooms tucked into every nook and cranny. If I stood on my tiptoes and tilted my head to the left, I had a view of a mountain if I looked over the top of the air conditioning units on the flat roof directly outside of the window(room 17). The room was unusually warm, and the room dry even though the heating was off. The bed was a double(is that still common practice(not where i've stayed lately it isnt)).As for the cost, £180 a night!!. And another thing, you provide credit/debit card details and are informed at the time of booking that no fee would be taken. How come an £80 non-refundable deposit was taken?
