Another great stay at the beautiful Inn on the Square
Pros:

This was our 4th stay at this hotel. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Keswick. Central, great location. Rooms are lovely, comfortable & clean. Breakfast is exceptional. Parking can be booked in advance, under the hotel.

Cons:

Cannot fault it.

Short, sunny stay in the excellent Inn on The Square.
Pros:

Excellent location, ideal base for Keswick and north lakes generally. Stayed on the top floor overlooking the square. Spacious room with an excellent shower!

Cons:

We decided not to eat in the restaurant, prices were very steap, but that is just personal preference and expectations.

Good comfortable hotel in great location.
Pros:

Excellent location
Friendly staff
Comfortable
Nice decor
Great breakfast

Cons:

Room very hot with no a/c or ventilation. Although a fan was provided, it was noisy.
No fridge in room.
Housekeeping was poor. Our bathroom was only (badly) cleaned once during our stay, and then only in request. Beds poorly made. Insufficient parking available. Public car park available but inconvenient for someone with mobility issues.
