Food was relatively nice but quite pricey for what you get. Pleasant enough.

Spent a couple of nights at the Skiddaw Hotel, Keswick last weekend. Firstly the receptionist was extremely helpful, the staff provided good service and went out of their way to be of any assistance. Food was good and nicely presented. Unfortunately, because of the hot weather and lack of air conditioning, both nights were spent in stiflingly hot room. We... More

We really enjoyed staying at this hotel. Perfect, central location in Keswick for the sights we wanted to see. Nice to have the option to put the car in the car park behind the hotel for free.

The hotel is slap bang on the high street and has a deal with the adjacent public car park so you can park for free with a pass. On the whole an excellent stay with just a... More

Our 2 day break through Travelzoo was excellent value for money included afternoon tea, dinner first night, £10 off following night and bottle of wine in the room. Nice touch that. We found the hotel staff to be fine on the whole except... More
