Lovely hotel in the centre of Keswick
Pros:

The location is in the heart of Keswick and central to all the restaurants and bars. The hotel is well furnished and the staff were helpful and pleasant the place is spotless

Cons:

The rooms were very small and although it is well furnished there was too much furniture for the size of the room. Also due to the heatwave was extremely hot as no air conditioning so had to have the window open . Need to consider with climate change adding this to rooms

Cons:

There was no air conditioning in the room, which was terrible given the hot weather—especially at night. We were given a fan, but it was poor consolation.

Had a great time, better room location away from main corridor and I can leave the dog alone in the room if needed.
Pros:

Excellent location, good breakfast choice, staff very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Paying extra for a dog when I’m sure he makes less mess than a child
