4/10 Fair

Stayed here for 3 nights room was really nice overall the hotel and spa were in good condition. Breakfast was poor seemed like it was catering for coach trips full English was nothing to right home about. Hard poached eggs etc, I get there probably doing things in a budget but it can still be done well. Staff were not the friendliest bunch I’ve ever met either.

Fantastic hotel. A great place to stay if you want to explore the Lake District. The staff were always very helpful and easy to talk to. There were always good options during breakfast time and the spa was very relaxing.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Lovely staff but this wasn’t a four star experience. Room had a shower cubicle which was more suited to a 1 star property- surely even a non deluxe room for price paid should not have a shower cubicle in this state. Dirty facecloth stayed behind the towel rail for the duration of our 4 night stay. Dirty smelly cleaning cloth left in our room beside the tea making facilities (which were very good) one day. Lovely pool but changing rooms need a proper clean! Very good breakfast and service in the restaurant. Overall ok but advise you to book a deluxe room when hopefully you’ll get better experience than we had

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely place, clean, some maintenance happening, but didn't disturb our 5 days. Breakfast had plenty choices including Eggs Benedict or Eggs Royale, restaurant, lovely food. Staff very friendly and helpful. 20min drive from Keswick, which was handy for more restauarants, bars and the boat trip was brilliant. Tennis Court, mini golf a bonus on-site and swimming pool was good size and good to cool down as weather was hot for our trip. Being Scottish, it would be nice to have bar open a bit later,overall stay was excellent, definitely would visit again.

All the staff, especially those in the bar/restaurant area were excellent. They were very accommodating, warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Food was very good and reasonably priced. Room was lovely, although you do need some level of navigational expertise to find your room and your way around the hotel!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room was very clean and had just been renovated, making it feel much more comfortable. The front desk staff were not particularly friendly and could improve their customer service. However, the restaurant staff provided excellent service and deserve recognition. The swimming pool, sauna, and jacuzzi facilities were excellent. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely family stay in Keswick from 17th to 22nd August and really enjoyed our time here. The location is excellent, surrounded by beautiful mountains and close to the lakes, with many Lake District attractions within an easy drive. The hotel was particularly good for our family. We stayed in a family room for six, which gave us plenty of space. My daughter especially loved the heated swimming pool, and the leisure facilities were a real bonus. Everything was clean and well maintained, with a sauna, jacuzzi, showers and changing/locker areas for adults. There is also a spa where you can book treatments and massages. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. You can enjoy the buffet or arrange breakfast in your room by ordering in advance. We also enjoyed the restaurant during our stay. Parking was easy, with plenty of spaces at both the front and back of the hotel, which was very convenient as we had our own car. From here, we could easily visit the lakes, mountains, wildlife parks and enjoy activities such as boat trips. Overall, it was a peaceful and enjoyable family stay. If you’re looking for an all-in-one hotel in Keswick with good facilities, parking and a great location for exploring the Lake District, this is an excellent choice. We would happily stay again.
