I liked the location and the garden. The rooms are in need of updating and they were not cleaned during our stay. The television worked on the first day only. The toilet flush needed attention.

Very DIRTY, unpleasant, tired, old Hotel. Staff was kind and pleasant. So terribly disappointed in the condition of this hotel. Rooms were very dirty, dumpy, not well appointed and in dire need of repairs, paint, and attention. The only reason I did not give one star is because the hotel staff (Howard, Sue, and Paul) were delightful and gave wonderful custom service. The staff is doing the best they can with what they had to work with. Our bed was so uncomfortable and the sheets looked dirty. Housekeeping never changed our sheets, nor gave us toilet paper or towels. Just gross. We can say, the hotel courtyard garden is beautiful, but everything else wasn’t good. Breakfast and cleanliness in dining area was even questionable. We got free breakfast cause the hotel had “boiler issues”, but I don’t recommend the breakfast either. It has parking which is hard to come by in Lake District I’ve been told, but parking is not worth staying at an old dirty hotel. Sadly, its past its prime.

We cancelled our reservation upon arrival. The furniture is old and filthy. The bed was broken. The room felt cold and institutional. Property is old and not very well kept. Photos are very misleading.

Though we came pretty late to the property, we had staff to take care of our check in etc. And also morning breakfast was very good, and the staff were very nice and friendly. Overnight my friend had to work in lobby area for his work, and staff made sure that he was comfortable there.

Verified traveller

You cancelled my booking less than 48 hours before arrival because of a water issue. Despite that, I continued to receive emails regarding my stay, asking if I wanted to upgrade my stay, check in experience and now this… I was unable to find alternative accommodation in the Keswick area at such short notice and continuing to receive emails from yourselves (presumably automated and not checked?) were not helpful. I suggest you modify your automated reply system.

Didn't get the room we booked, looking at a wall as a view until my partner sent bespoke an email then we got the room we booked in the first place plus they were no house keeping for the room unless you asked for it . Room needs updated. Dining room not open, had to order off bar menu. Staff painting in sitting area around us while sitting there.and will not be back at this hotel again

We booked an over night stay at this hotel for a great price at short notice. Love the location, a picturesque walk into Keswick takes around 25 Minutes. Our room although didn’t have a view was immaculate. The staff were extremely friendly and professional.
