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.

Comfortable
Nice decor
Great breakfast
