Wow – we absolutely loved our stay here! The hotel is beautifully designed, cozy, and full of charm. The location is perfect – just a minute from the lake and surrounded by the sweetest little shops in magical Keswick. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. Breakfast was simply fantastic – a high-quality menu with delicious options made to order, plus drinks and homemade granola. Truly one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in a hotel! Our room was gorgeous and thoughtfully decorated, and every day we were treated to fresh homemade cookies waiting for us – such a lovely touch. There’s also private parking which is very convenient. We honestly enjoyed every single moment and didn’t want to leave. We travel a lot, and this is by far our favorite hotel. We will definitely be back!

Breakfast was great as were the hosts. There was parking, which although a little tight, is a real bonus in Penrith. Lots of nice little touches…coffee and homemade pastries on arrival.

The location is great - short 5 to 10 minute walk to the town centre. The are multiple hiking trails accessible from the accommodation and also from Grasmere more generally. The cleanliness of the accommodation was incredibly high. The pillows and bed were incredibly comfortable. I appreciated little extras such as a mini fridge, kettle, teas and biscuits. Michael was a lovely host who provided lots of information on hiking trials and good spots to eat. Very friendly and kind. I will definitely return in the near future.
