One of the worst hotels in Keswick I’ve ever stayed at.
Pros:

Nice restaurant

Cons:

Restaurant closed at 8:30. Room had no heating or radiator and measured at 12 degrees through the night. That was a “superior” double room

very enjoyable, xmas decorations were up so very festive. Would definitely book again and recommend
Pros:

Location was great, very warm and comfortable and staff were very friendly. You did not feel cramped and on top of other customers

Cons:

we parked in Skiddaw caarpark and had to pay £12. Although I understand and was aware before we booked, it seemed a bit unfair when residents are staying in the hotel.
