Lovely hotel, can’t wait to visit again.
Pros:

Great location near to town and the views from my bedroom were beautiful. Breakfast was great and staff were really friendly - thank you.

Cons:

Unfortunately I was woken up by drunk guests at 23:30 because it’s an older building and not particularly well sound proofed but this is no fault of the hotel and I can’t imagine they get a lot of party goers staying there - I was probably very unlucky!

A very restful place to stay, close to town, surrounded by beautiful views
Pros:

The views from the dining room were gorgeous, and the breakfast very good quality. A lovely hotel, with polite, attentive, welcoming staff.

Cons:

Soundproofing between rooms wasn't great: I could hear my neighbours TV (and some conversation) until the early hours. The lack of official reception was a bit odd - nowhere to officially check in or leave keys, just an office that said 'do not enter' and signs that led nowhere!

Despite the few problems we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay again.
Pros:

Great breakfast, wonderful views from breakfast room and lounge. Afternoon coffee and cake very welcome after a wet walk. Great location, easy to get down to the lake and into the town. The staff were all extremely helpful and welcoming.

Cons:

VERY difficult to find the car park, not signposted and when we did find the lane it seemed like just an entrance to another hotel. Found by a process of elimination. There were noises from above about midnight when we were trying to get to sleep. The room was quite small but adequate.

Excellent location just a short walk to Main Street and also to the Lake.
I arrived earlier in the day and phoned the Hotel reception, they confirmed I could park in the private car park and check in later.
Enjoyed the Superb breakfast.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike.

Exceptional customer service and care in an historic and comfortable accommodation.
Pros:

The host telephoned me when I failed to arrive at my scheduled check in time to see how I was and even stayed on the phone with me with step by step directions to the location (as I managed to get myself lost despite it being a very short walk from the town centre) the host even gave me use of their umbrella when I went out for my evening meal - above and beyond.

Cons:

Nothing.

Special place to stay to visit Keswick
Pros:

Beautiful views from bedroom window. Room was large and comfortable being Victorian building high ceilings and lot of features still there.
Staff just so pleasant and helpful. Quiet location but just 10 minute into Keswick town centre.
Afternoon cake and tea/coffee included. Breakfast very good and varied choice.
