Keswick Country House Hotel

Keswick Country House Hotel

8/10 Good
"Nice old hotel next to the river and park. Unfortunately for us it was a night of a very bad storm and the sash windows rattled like crazy followed by a bit of a breeze in the room but it was otherwise a very pleasant stay. Staff are very friendly and helpful, just a ten minute walk the town centre and 15 mins to the lake and free parking."
