We have stayed at the Lairbeck on several occasions, and each time we come away entirely relaxed and refreshed after enjoying this beautiful and homely hotel, delightful food, great company and fresh Cumbrian air. As always, our greeting on arrival was warm and inviting, where we went into the newly refurbished bar to enjoy a drink and a catch up... more

I went to this hotel after a phone call from a friend praising the rooms, food, views and owners. I was not disappointed. It was a little like staying with friends who knew how to be helpful. I was recovering from a minor operation and my recuperation was greatly helped by an excellent gin and tonic brought to me in... more

Over the years have stayed exstensively in the Lake District with preference made for the Keswick area. Found Lairbeck Hotel on the net and booked for a 7 night stay half board and what a fantasic stay it was. Everthing about the hotel, staff and it's management was superb. Would we recommend Lairbeck? - most certainly. Would we go back?... more

We stayed for a couple of nights in the Drawing Room which was... more

Reception by the owner couldn't have been friendlier. We were in the Drawing Room which is large and very comfortable with superb views to the south. We were there for 3 nights and had dinner each night. Food was excellent and the wine good and at a reasonable price for a hotel. Service in the bar and restuarant was friendly... more

I took a small party of school children to this hotel for a field trip in the Keswick area. None of us had been before but we were hugely impressed by the quality and style of this small hotel. It has a very relaxing and peaceful atmosphere from the moment you walk into the comfortable reception area. The bar boasts... more

What a gem! It's rare to find a hotel which ticks all the boxes. The hotel has such a homely atmosphere - it's a real beauty and so nice to see a traditional old Victorian building so well appointed and kept. Our room was clean, bright and tidy. The bed was extremely comfortable (a good thing too after a hard... more
