Stayed two nights when attending a wedding. Had an incredible four poster room with a view of the lake. Spacious room, decor in keeping with the grand nature of the hotel as a whole. Although there had been some downfalls with service prior to arriving (useless person taking the booking and payment) once we were there we had no real... More

Dear Reviewer Thank for your kind words about the grandeur of the hotel. We do take great pride in the hotel and how it looks and the constant investment that keeps it looking so. As regards to your very hurtful and unkind comments about the receptionist and duty manager I do feel that a response is needed. The booking was... More

Firstly I must apologise to Jonathon, Debbie, Bev and Gary and the rest of the staff for the delay in writing this review. We married here on Sunday 16th September 2012. It truly was a stay to remember, the weather wasn't in our side which meant we couldn't marry at the picturesque pagoda but we married in the intimate Glenridding... More

Just returned from a fabulous 4 night break from this hotel. We got upgraded on arrival to a lake view room which was amazing. The beautiful room would however be worth paying extra for, especially for a special occasion. The staff are great and provide a service to be proud of, whoever runs this place does a fab job. The...

We stayed here for one night following three nights in Keswick. We were not disappointed and luckily for us the sun came out to shine on the last half of the day and the day we were leaving! The difference between a cloudy sky and a sunny Lake are remarkable. Inn on the Lake is of course excellently situated -... More

We stayed here last year in a lake view balcony room (see my review sept 2012 "luxury on the lake") For my birthday this year my husband brought me back again and we booked one of the luxury four poster suites with a stunning lake view. The room had very recently undergone a massive refurbishment with new bathroom and completely... More

Food excellent and service was very quick. We attended a wedding and the organisation was brilliant, nothing was too much for the Staff, who... More

The fact that we are determined to return to this lovely hotel is the best possible recommendation. First and foremost, the staff are all highly professional, courteous and friendly - from the general manager right across to the concierge and room staff. We have rarely felt so immediately and warmly welcome in a hotel. We were met by a porter... More
