Location

“With its central location, this is a sound choice in Keswick for families ready to explore the Lake District. The family suites are designed to offer space and privacy, and I especially note the exclusive Hikers Picnic Afternoon Board, a unique touch. Though dog-friendly, the hotel maintains standards, with most areas being dog-free; this will come as a relief to those with allergies.”
