Traditional city centre hotel, great location, excellent value (low season?). The young lady on reception duty, spotted my request for a quiet room , well done - stayed at a 4 star in Liverpool the night before and they didn't!
Young chap also on reception gave me a bit of the history of the place - thank you . Room was fine, old building so high ceiling, nothing flash but it had some character. The lounge is beautiful with original features.
Stayed at this guest house last night and it was very clean and great location to the town centre, we had a lovely room and a massive super king bed. Lovely breakfast in the morning and a car park on site which is good....
Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Rooms are always clean and fresh. Would recommend this hotel as right at the train station and just a short walk to clubs/bar and restaurants.
I was so surprised to book such a great hotel! My son, who studies in the UK, said this would be considered a luxury hotel there. It has its own private entrance and a very spacious bathroom. The Lake District gets quite cold in the evenings during summer, but the heating worked perfectly. You can see sheep on the hillside right outside, and it's not a far walk to the town. Sitting in the courtyard, you can enjoy the scenery. The owner is really nice and responds very promptly when you need something. The instructions provided via WeChat were very detailed. A truly satisfying stay!
In arrival I was told that booking in was only at 3pm and on my email letter of confirmation it clearly stated 2pm. It looked as if the lady DS not believe me and so I fortunately had the confirmation email on my phone to show her. She then told me she would make and exception and allow me to book in an hour earlier! I find it frustrating that I should even hear the word “exception” as I was not in the wrong in the first place.
The only other suggestion I have is that there should be a non-slip mat available to use in the shower as well as a handle to hold onto when showering and wanting to wash one’s feet. I am sure you have mane elderly visitors and it would prevent them from slipping in the shower in the slippery floor and falling.
Apart from these two things I slept well and found the view over the pond with the birds a lovely one. All nice and clean and can recommend the hotel as a safe one to stay over.
Cross the bridge and go straight to the shopping area. Not far from the car, there is a weekend second-hand market. Breakfast is delicious. The room is clean and the window is full of spiders.
The room was clean, no obvious dust, the bathroom was small but clean. The quilt cover was stained, the room was not soundproofed, and you could hear the sound of cars passing by. The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was good, the food in the hotel restaurant was also good, and the hotel was located by the lake, which was convenient for enjoying the beautiful scenery.
An classic, elegant ”old style” hotel in a picturesque, quiet location near the lake. Its convenient that trailheads for some of the popular hikes ( Lake Circuit, Catbells, Wally Crag ) are at the hotel. Its a 20 minute bus ride from Keswick town, which is 40 minutes from Penrith station. Staff very helpful. The included breakfasts are excellent with a range of tasty hot and cold dishes. We spent an enjoyable four nights.
Clean and basic . All that was needed for a short stay

Great
AAnonymous UserGreat hotel with a decent location in the middle of the Lake District. You can walk/ cycle to Ambleside which is 5 miles away. Low fells are easy to hike for great views of the area around.
The hotel is more like a private house with rooms. We got a small suite with bedroom, bathroom and living room. We could just about see the lake from the living room.
The bathroom only has a bath and no shower head which was a difficulty for washing hair. Except for that it was very well organised.
Breakfast was at a nearby pub - The Good Sport. It was a limited selection on the menu: full English, breakfast rolls, toast or porridge. You also got a 10% for dinner in the pub too.
GGuest UserIt’s a lovely spot with a fantastic view and a welcoming host. The breakfast was delicious, and the fireplace adds a cosy touch. Just keep in mind that being an older English house, it might not be as spotless as some other places.
DDarryl JonNice and peaceful stay at the hotel. The facilities were clean and the bed was very comfy
The only downside was the cleaner tried to enter my room in the morning without knocking
