Should have asked on booking if there was a lift available as problem climbing stairs and was in room 11...staff were happy to carry suitcases up to room but obviously would have preferred something more accessible

Expensive and would not recommend, although staff were very nice
Pros:

The staff were excellent - really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was also reasonable. The central town location was handy and wasn't too noisy between 10pm-7am.

Cons:

Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying here, however, as it was expensive and the hotel itself isn't up to scratch and is a bit dated. The bed was exceptionally soft and uncomfortable - not what you need after a long day's walk. Despite the main downstairs area of the hotel having aircon, the rooms didnt and they were unbearably hot (even at night with all the windows open when it was around 10-15 degrees outside). They allow dogs, so if you're unlucky like we were, you could be woken up by barking in the early hours. Breakfast isn't served until 7.30am, so not ideal if you want an early start for a walk. Lastly, be warned - the parking is not free (£7-12 per day), and you're also not guaranteed a spot! We had to park on the other side of town at one point because there were no spaces left.

Great hotel in a wonderful town.
Pros:

Had breakfast in the conservatory as we had brought our dog along for the trip. Enjoyed watching the world pass by as we enjoyed our breakfast in peace and quiet whereas the restaurant area reserved for guests without hounds was much busier. Great location.

Cons:

Everything was good here.

Amazing birthday get away
Pros:

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay here. From the moment we were welcomed by Alandi at reception, we felt right at home. She was exceptional throughout our stay and couldn't do enough to help us.

All of the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. The hotel exceeded our expectations and was excellent value for money.

Breakfast was delicious, with plenty of choice from the hot menu as well as an extensive selection of continental options. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Highly recommended and we will not book anywhere else within Keswick now!

Cons:

Nothing
