Top Howtown Hotel Reviews

Keswick Country House Hotel

Keswick Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is a lovely old hotel built in 1869 for passengers arriving at the Keswick Railway Station The bedroom was clean and bright and the dining area was modern but in keeping with the old building as was the bar area. The main entrance was wide open when we arrived but later they had closed the doors it revealed the beautiful original revolving door. The only things I would say was the main hallway and stairs carpets had started to show signs of wear and could maybe need replacing and there is obviously no air conditioning in the rooms being an old building but we were provided with a fan but we cannot fault anybody the staff especially Ben & Emma who served us in the bar area and Lily who was our waitress for breakfast. Will definitely stay again if we are up in the area."

"Great stay, at a good hotel. The room was clean and had everything in it a hotel room needed, the bathroom could do with a bit of TLC and a proper shower instead of a bath and shower. Staff were lovely and helpful letting us park a bit earlier so we could have a walk around Kendal before check in. Lovely swimming and leisure facilities too! Breakfast was good both mornings as well. Overall a great hotel for a few days stay in Kendal !"

"Didn’t pay the extra £15 per person in order to use the pool - that’s extortionate when you are already a resident! Facilities looked nice however. Decor of whole hotel lovely. Waiter Joe was really good in the evening. Room suffers from road noise if you have to have the window open (it was hot!) - understandable as it is very convenient to the M6 junction."
