Top Keswick Hotel Reviews

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The property is in a nice quiet area with plenty of parking. There is also a bus stop right outside. Our room was great with a great view of the valley. I think the stay is good for a relaxing evening with lots to do in the property and around. They have some vegetarian options in the menu as well. They have spa treatments that are advertised for 7 days a week, but don’t seem to operate on Sundays or Mondays, which is bad if you’re planning to spend the weekend there. Not the property if you were planning to get a massage after a long hike. As it is a period property, there are no lifts to the rooms, so you may need to carry your luggage up the stairs through a maze of doors although I think it’s only one floor so should generally be okay.."

Armathwaite Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in quiet grounds with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. Food was excellent would recommend the Hotel without hesitation"
