The room was fine with a nice bathroom. Bed was comfortable. The food in the restaurant was very good and the waitress we had several times was excellent.

Right on the pedestrian only square in Keswick. Right by the old church/town hall. Perfect location. Beautiful hotel, winding staircase, all the charm of old world hotel. Rustic bar.
