Sorry but didn't enjoy this stay as the room was cold and situated in some strange converted building behind the main hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful, firstly putting the heating on and then bringing an additional plug in heater, we did not enjoy the room it was too cold, had a roller blind which we had closed permanently due to ground floor location, so overall was very disappointed.

We stayed in a very spacious family room on the top floor which was great , it was lovely & clean with comfortable beds. The staff were very friendly. The pool was great for the teenagers and a nice little spa area. The hotel does look old fashioned and needs a revamp but with that said I can see some areas have been updated and overall it doesn’t effect having a good stay here!

We enjoyed a quiet weekend in the Lake District in the Castle Inn conveniently located near Keswick. The hotel is comfortable and in the late stage of being upgraded; this was happening in the background and did not impact nor disturb. I did feel the staff were a bit thin on the ground; however, they could not have been more friendly or helpful, they really made us feel welcome. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely hotel, currently undergoing refurbishment. But no impact on experience. Staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of nice touches in the room. I have already recommended it to several people and I will certainly return. We were a family of 5 and the kids also remarked on how impressive it was, they enjoyed playing tennis and having a swim after dinner. Food was wonderful with an excellent choice, we enjoyed both our dinner and breakfast. *Highly recommend *

The rooms we stayed in were very clean, the staff were helpful and well staffed nothing was any bother for us. We made use of the tennis court which was also included and free! Lovely beer garden and the flower gardens were beautiful and well kept. View of the lake and hills from our room was wonderful. Parking was good with ample free parking bays. Good selection of breakfast choices ranging from continental and full English. The evening meal choices were not that good as menu was a bit small which had fish, pie, burger, steak, and sausage. Our first two evening meals of our visit were laced in salt however after ordering the steak on our third evening meal we kindly told the staff that we would prefer no salt, which the staff did for us and got to admit the meal was very tasty. Would highly recommend this hotel 😃
