Friendly staff and room fairly comfortable. A great location and lovely garden. This hotel is tired and in need of updating. Breakfast was ok. Some issues with the hot water. Could be cleaner.

Verified traveller

You cancelled my booking less than 48 hours before arrival because of a water issue. Despite that, I continued to receive emails regarding my stay, asking if I wanted to upgrade my stay, check in experience and now this… I was unable to find alternative accommodation in the Keswick area at such short notice and continuing to receive emails from yourselves (presumably automated and not checked?) were not helpful. I suggest you modify your automated reply system.

We booked an over night stay at this hotel for a great price at short notice. Love the location, a picturesque walk into Keswick takes around 25 Minutes. Our room although didn’t have a view was immaculate. The staff were extremely friendly and professional.

Unpleasant stay
Our room was fine but the bathroom had a puddle next to the toilet and as a whole could only be described as grotty. The grouting had black mold on it and where there had been handles in the bath (broken off) there was also black mold. We asked to change rooms but unfortunately there were no other rooms available. Reception did move us the following day to a deluxe apartment which was lovely but we had no idea if was self catering with absolutely nothing provided like soap, tea, coffee and having had a drink at lunchtime couldn't drive anywhere to buy these. Dinner in the hotel on the first evening wasn't great, my burger overcooked and onion rings had disintegrated, wrong puddings came out and when the correct ones did, cold custard and the inside of the puddings were stone cold. The staff were lovely and did everything they could to help but I would never stay here again unless it was completely refurbished. It may be cheap for the area but you get what you pay for.

Stayed for 2 nights with a dog. Hotel in the process of refurbishment. Our room was lovely, great view of the large beer garden with a short walk to the lake. Very friendly staff and good food. 20 min walk into Keswick which is very dog friendly too. Will be back.

Avoid! The hotel advert is not a true representation of what we had seen. The hotel was so outdated it was like going back to the 80’s, the bathroom was disgusting 1) unfinished filler everywhere 2) mould everywhere 3) cobwebs everywhere so not been hoovered in a while. All in all waste of money.

A gem of a place!
Great hotel and although not spanking new it has the most fabulous location on banks of Derwentwater and is super dog friendly, Keswick town just a 20min walk away. Fresh decor in bedroom and super comfortable bed.Lovely staff especially Sue, breakfast and bar meals were good. Beautiful sprawling gardens were the perfect spot to enjoy a drink in the evening sunshine.We can’t wait to return!

This was an excellent hotel if travelling with your dog; the welcome and outdoor facilities are very good. The room was warm and attractive. It was a shame the nice restaurant wasn't used for evening meals. The bar area got pretty crowded and is fairly basic. The TV was very obvious and needed subtitles on if it's to be helpful. The staff were helpful and courteous.
