Friendly pub with rooms with good access to the Northern Fells.
Pros:

Friendly owners; good bar food and beer; relaxed atmosphere and friendly to hikers.

Cons:

Accommodation felt secondary to the main business of the pub.

No breakfast on offer, we had to buy this from the local coffee house which has the same owners.

Nice location and pub. Room small but to be expected. Location good but lack of shower gel/shampoo in room let down.
Pros:

Location was very nice and close to public transport to get in and out of Keswick

Cons:

We had no shower gel or shampoo in the room. They had run out and a member of staff eventually had to take a shower dispenser off the wall of another room so we could shower ok.

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.
