Not to expectations especially how much they charge
Pros:

Location
Parking although more expensive than surrounding car parks

Cons:

Bed hard and un comfy. Shower was hot and wouldn’t adjust. I’d say it hasn’t been commissioned properly which is required after installation to set correct showering temperature. Breakfast was tasteless with cheap ingredients. Hash brown tasted of old fat. Toast had been done a while before we got it. Cold and was like old toast that had been sat there for a long time. Black pudding a cheap tasting one. My partner only ate the scrambled egg and bought another breakfast from town square. Staff wearing dirty aprons. Sent link to pay again even though I’d paid two weeks in advanced.

Good location and breakfast
Pros:

The location in the centre of Keswick was good and easy to wander around in the evening after we had arrived. Breakfast was very nice, cooked to your requirements. We had reserved a parking space in the hotel's small car park which was good from a security aspect.

Cons:

We had problems finding the rear of the car park due to the one way system in Keswick and spent a bit of time getting lost before we finally did get to the right place. The room was very hot, the towel rail giving out enormous amounts of heat. The display panel did not light up, so there was no where obvious to switch it off or down. We did resort to opening the windows. The wardrobe was ok for shirts or short items but not for anything long. Also there was no room safe.

Would recommend!
Pros:

Amazing breakfast! Great location. Really lovely lounge and reception area.

Cons:

Not much of a view from our back property room, but all we had to do was walk out the front door for a great experience.
