The Allerdale Court Hotel

8/10 Good
"Clean and spacious room with everything we needed for an overnight stay. Plentiful soft towels and nice toiletries in the bathroom. Very welcoming receptionist who gave us all the info we needed. The room belied the impression given by the filthy hotel stair carpet although the good news is a carpet fitter was actually at work replacing this on the upper floors when we arrived. We were at the back of the hotel which was quiet so didn’t experience any pavement noise which I’m guessing could have been a problem at the front. Parking was at a premium in the public car parks opposite, we were lucky enough to find a space and the charges were reasonable, probably isn’t an issue out of season. The hotel has an adjoining steak house which is convenient unless you’re a vegetarian. If you want something different it is surprisingly difficult to find anying that you couldn’t find in a shopping precinct in any town. The rooms are perfectly good for a short stay."

"We have stayed here several times and have always found it far better than its price might suggest. This time we were disappointed that there was no wi-fi in the room, not a problem we have had before. Hotels.com say all rooms have wi-fi with some in public areas but staff told us it is the other way round. Presumably we were just lucky the other times, but this is a big let-down"

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely family stay in Keswick from 17th to 22nd August and really enjoyed our time here. The location is excellent, surrounded by beautiful mountains and close to the lakes, with many Lake District attractions within an easy drive. The hotel was particularly good for our family. We stayed in a family room for six, which gave us plenty of space. My daughter especially loved the heated swimming pool, and the leisure facilities were a real bonus. Everything was clean and well maintained, with a sauna, jacuzzi, showers and changing/locker areas for adults. There is also a spa where you can book treatments and massages. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. You can enjoy the buffet or arrange breakfast in your room by ordering in advance. We also enjoyed the restaurant during our stay. Parking was easy, with plenty of spaces at both the front and back of the hotel, which was very convenient as we had our own car. From here, we could easily visit the lakes, mountains, wildlife parks and enjoy activities such as boat trips. Overall, it was a peaceful and enjoyable family stay. If you’re looking for an all-in-one hotel in Keswick with good facilities, parking and a great location for exploring the Lake District, this is an excellent choice. We would happily stay again."
