Great stay, but a change of mattress/ bed would make all the difference.
Pros:

Staff at breakfast were amazing. We were served on both days by the same lady who was very welcoming, friendly & extremely helpful. Her customer service skills were spot on.
We really liked the style/ decor or the room and bathroom which appeared to have been upgraded in recent years and it was very clean.
There were nice extra touches like chocolate truffles with the coffee machine and a bed spray to help sleep.
The toiletries in the bathroom were lovely and locally sourced.

Cons:

The bed was uncomfortable. The mattress needs replacing so much so that my partner had put a pillow underneath to prop it up & not fall off the bed!
We also accept we were in a great location in the centre of Keswick but at times it was noisy through the night with deliveries and waste collection (we needed the window open as the room was otherwise very warm).

Amazing stay!
Pros:

Absolutely lovely pub right in the heart of Keswick.
Staff really friendly and helpful. Amazing with dietary requirements - gluten free wasn’t a problem here. Breakfast was very filling - gluten free sausages & a sour dough like bread were a first for me. Evening meal was just perfect. If you like a steak, this is a must place to visit.
Room was lovely and modern. Bathroom with the rain shower was just perfect. Complimentary chocolates & a muddy boots tray left outside your bedroom door.
