Lock in a great price for Skiddaw Hotel - rated 8.8 by recent guests.

to get started.

A rather mature town centre hotel. Great location Smallish rooms but amazing bathroom, obviously recently refitted

Stuart, United Kingdom

Bathroom amazing with great essentials and bed comfy. Breakfast excellent we both had smoked haddock and poached egg thank you another great stay😄

Clare, United Kingdom

Location is really good. Hotel is a little tired needs updating

Theresa, United Kingdom

We like staying in the hotel it’s very comfortable and very friendly

Carol, United Kingdom

The location is really good for the north half of the Lake District. It is centrally located in Keswick on Main Street. The interior is quirky with lots of steps.

Judith, United Kingdom

Perfect location lovely staff and good value for money. We've just come back and will definitely be booking again in the near future.

Rebecca, United Kingdom

Great location. Clean, comfortable room. Parking close to hotel. Friendly, helpful staff.

Sheila, United Kingdom

Booked a deluxe double and the room was more like a suite, don't know if this was a standard or because we are regular guests and maybe got upgraded on arrival ?

Tracy, United Kingdom

Bed comfortable had to change rooms on last night as booking. Com did not inform hotel that we booked room for dog. Our dog is elderly large Labrador and found the stairs difficult as we were in room61 which has two narrow staircases

Lesley, United Kingdom

Room was great, very comfy. Chocolate were a lovely touch. Breakfast was brilliant.
