A very nice place to stay.
Pros:

Such a welcoming place to stay with any help offered if needed. Atmosphere was very friendly throughout our stay. The food was very enjoyable and no one should leave hungry with very decent portions for the bigger appetite. I would definitely return when in the Keswick area.

Cons:

I have no remarks to make.

A great choice close to Keswick with free parking and a warm welcome.
Pros:

Friendly and welcoming staff. Clean and well presented room. ample parking. The village of Braithwaite is small and quiet. Would certainly recommend. Bar food was really good.

Cons:

The room was very warm in the midst of a heatwave. A fan would have helped.
