10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is in a quiet rural area out of town. It would be beneficial if you have a car, but there is a good bus service and the bus stop is across the road from the hotel. When we were there the hotel was being renovated but we never found this a problem and everyone was very helpful, lovely staff.

Great family friendly hotel near Keswick

Staff were very friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The leisure facilities are fabulous and our children loved it. The roaring log fire was our favourite spot to sit and play a game or two.

Lovely hotel, great facilities, highly recommended

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Castle Inn. Situated in Bassenthwaite, it's just a 15-minute drive into Keswick. There's also a bus that gets you there in 20 minutes - the bus stop is right outside the hotel. There is free on-site parking, and from the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. All the people we encountered were lovely, from the receptionist to the bar and restaurant staff. We had a family room, consisting of a king-size bed and two singles. There was a lounge area with TV, large wardrobes, a second TV facing the double bed, and a desk area with lots of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk, biscuits, water, etc. The beds were really comfortable, and there was a fan in the room. The bathroom was clean and well-equipped. A bath, separate shower cubicle, and plenty of complimentary toiletries, even toothbrushes and toothpaste. The view from the room was lovely - it overlooked the gardens, tennis court, and putting green. The restaurant served a good selection of meals, with plenty of options for the kids and vegetarian options too. I had the Cumberland Curl (sausage), with mash and vegetables, which was very tasty! On-site facilities include a gym, heated pool, hot tub, sauna, and steam room. The kids loved the pool! Breakfast was excellent, with continental and cooked options available. Although the hotel is currently being renovated, this had no impact on our stay. We will definitely stay here again when we next visit the Lake District.

Lovely hotel, large rooms.

Lovely welcome, great pool area and restaurant was nice. The rooms are huge and they have everything you need. The hotel is undergoing refurbishment which is desperately needed but the staff were brilliant and we felt very happy there. Location is good and the grounds are beautiful.
Lesley, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not great value for money

Pros: Great location and the rooms were in very good condition. Server at dinner and breakfast beyond lovely, (but was absolutely rushed off her feet so drinks took a while). Cons: Receptionist seemed to do the minimum e.g. She gave minimal information about pool, where there were no towels available and no staff anywhere. And no apologies for that when I went along to get towels (it's quite far between the two). Pool also hard to find/ not well signposted. Only downside of the room was significant mould behind shower door. Food on the more basic side in terms of hot breakfast. If the room was cheaper I'd be less fussed.

Refurbishment - not made aware when booking

There was a refurbishment taking place which we were not aware of from booking through Hotels.com There was painting and carpet laid across the flooring on the way to the pool and room. The workmen were friendly and helpful but the hotel was not as we would have expected for the ratings we had read. The Safe in the room didn’t work. My daughter found a hair in her folded towel and the shower water stopped coming out out of the shower head in the middle of my daughter’s hairwash. She has escema and her skin looked very sore. An enjoyable stay but not what we had expected
