This is a really comfortable, pleasant place to stay. The rooms are excellent, clean, spacious with modern fitments. Breakfast is of a very high standard and the staff throughout are helpful and cheery. Great location, just a short walk into town to all the attractions of Keswick.

The rooms are spotless, beautifully decorated, beds have wonderful crisp bedlinen and there are lots of little thoughtful "extras" (e.g. home made biscuits with the... More
