Great room, fabulous patio and garden and wonderful staff. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order. This hotel has a home from home feel. Cream teas every afternoon, tea and coffee whenever you want and a small bar if you want alcohol. Guests are allocated their own parking space which is wonderful in this prime location. Next time we are in the Lake District, we will definitely book this delightful hotel. Thanks to all the staff that work in this establishment, we had a fabulous week.

We stayed in the Seductive Suite, it was a beautiful room with the decor, lots of space, beautiful bathroom, we loved the mood lighting and the bed was so comfy. We loved the special touches like the vanity area and the under floor heating and the tv on the wall in the bathroom. It was the best hotel that we have ever stayed in and it was my boyfriend’s birthday as well. We will definitely be coming back.

Great vibe in centre. Keswick Launch boat trip on Derwent Water brilliant way to see the surrounding mountains. Stopped at Windermere on way home & walked up Orrest Head, hard going, but so worth it for the awesome views. Delicious meal in San Pietro Italian to finish.

The location is a great place for walkers to enjoy without having to get in their cars and drive elsewhere. The walks from the town are many and of various choices between easy and difficult. A hard walk up to the High Street with its fantastic views of all the lake district fells or a gentle stroll up the Troutbeck valley to the Tongue are both enjoyable and relaxing in their own ways to name but two of the many.

Pretty hamlet with 2 excellent pubs serving great food. Easy walking area from the hamlet and access to more challenging walking not far away. Away from the tourist traps of the Lake District. Would recommend eating at The Hare and Hounds for upmarket gastro pub food. The Masons Arms also serves good pub food. The Punchbowl at Crosthwaite is a 10 min drive away and is a very good restaurant
