Pros (+) Location and dog friendly
Cons (-) Our room had a gap round the door and the corridor light came on throughout the night. With the dog this just agitated him and resulting in him barking when ever it happened. Not a great nights sleep!!

Pros (+) The room was so cute and cozy, we both slept great and had a lovely time. The breakfast was amazing! There was loads of options including traditional and more healthy options and great veggie options too. Location was top notch and loved the separate entrance at night.
Cons (-) The bathroom was just was we needed, but could do with some updates I think it's just a little tired but all still functional and fine. The toilet was pretty noisy but I think that's probably because it's an older building and honestly wasn't a big deal the location of the place and how cozy it was and the great breakfast made up for it.

Pros (+) Lovely location, rooms small but very comfy, warm, clean and quiet! And all of the staff were fabulous, all really helpful and friendly and good with each other. The food was super tasty
Cons (-) If I was being picky I would say I’m not keen on dogs on the restaurant on the seats in the afternoon but all else very good

Pros (+) The location was perfect. Central Keswick spends to access everywhere in Keswick on foot. The staff were fantastic. They were always so friendly and welcoming when we came down for breakfast and when we went into the bar for drinks: they also made a huge fuss over our dog which was lovely.
