Aceeptable (despite noise)
Pros:

Location was excellent. Breakfasts fantastic. Staff friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The location of our room (114) right next to and above the back bar. Loud nanging music til 2.00am, which wasn't expected whilst staying in the lakes.
Staff did provide ear plugs.

Wonderful.
Pros:

Lovely hotel absolutely spotless great location. Lovely helpful staff. Great breakfast.

Cons:

It was a little warm in the room, not sure if feasible but if the secondary glazing was removed we could have 2 open windows instead of 1. Already is double glazing. Wouldn’t put me off staying again.

An amazing hotel
Pros:

We had an amazing long weekend here, the hotel is stunning and the location is perfect. Our room was spacious and clean, and the staff were excellent and very attentive. We stayed during the World Cup and earplugs had been left in our room with a note, which I thought was a really nice, thoughtful gesture. We would absolutely stay here again!

Cons:

Nothing, everything was 10/10

First class stay in a love
Pros:

We stayed in one of the Herdy rooms which was a great size and loads of storage. Tea/coffee tray was provided with biscuits, and bottled water which was replenished each morning. The room was spotless with large bathroom and walk in shower. Staff were reallynprofessional, polite and friendly and the breakfast options in the morning were first class. We called the hotel a couple of days before and the hotel allocated us a parking space in the small basement car park below the hotel, which was really helpful and much appreciated. Location in Keswick was excellent and there was nothing really we'd note as a negative. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Cons:

Nothing to note. It's not the cheapest hotel in the town but this wouldn't put us off staying again.
