We stopped for 1 Night with our dog. Room was very clean and good size for the 3 of us. Location perfect for Keswick and easy parking behind the hotel. Bar down stairs was dog friendly and very cosy. We would definitely stop her again Thank you for a lovely stay.

Perfect location and clean rooms

The positives are limited - primarily the location within Keswick which is really good: close to the centre of town and very handy for the lake.

We stayed two nights in room 4 (the actual room is important) in August 2020.

The room had very limited storage for belongings. The large wardrobe was split - one half for housekeeping stuff and the other half locked. So, most things stayed in bags around the floor.

The shower was barely more than a trickle at the setting recommended which was the only way to get water at the right temperature. I'm all for avoiding waste of fuel, raw materials and water but the shower was completely inadequate.

While the room appeared to have been decorated within a few years its appearance was untidy (lot's of unfilled holes  in the walls). Positively the bed and linen were very comfortable and the room clean.

Now where the specific room number is important... This room looks out over a passageway with a garage. Night 1, 3.30 a.m. we're woken by a loud mechanical racket (sounded like roller doors opening/closing). Windows were open because it was warm. Night 2, 3.30 a.m. same story.  After about 15-20 minutes of intermittent noise and some conversations the noise vanished again. Peace restored. Coincidence/very bad luck or like that every day? Who knows?

The rooms are supposed to be dog friendly. In my opinion you'd be fine with a small lapdog but our dog is mid-sized and there was barely enough room to position a dog bed on the floor and be able to walk around the bed past the dog.

Managed to park on single yellow just the other side of the main road at the closest end of the Heads - unrestricted between 16.00 and 10.00 overnight. Tricky getting space in the unrestricted parking further along The Heads but the paying car park is also very convenient.

Surprisingly payment wasn't taken until a few days after the stay and we were overcharged because of an administrative error. I rang and was given an immediate refund for the error with good grace and no aggro.

Commercial garage next door opens at 3.30 a.m. (very noisily)

The room was very clean with contemporary decoration that fit in with the surroundings. The TV in the room had Netflix and the bed was very comfortable and we both got a good nights sleep. It also had easy access to car park and town centre. Would definitely stay again. Really enjoyed our weekend.

Weekend in Keswick

Very much enjoyed our first visit to Keswick staying here. Perfectly located for the town and lake, the room was very clean and had a comfortable bed with lots of soft pillows. Everything was top notch with a friendly owner who is keen to please 

Very comfortable room in centre of town 

A great location but a great weekend spoilt by £60 taken from my credit card without authorisation. I spilt a cup of tea on a sheet, no staff on site to report it to or help. Would not expect to pay £60 for laundering a sheet. The room was small and it is quite noisy. Shower really poor. 

Beware..75% of the room cost charged to my credit card for a split cup of tea

We’ve visited here before and had a great room so decided to give it another go. This time has been disappointing to say the least. The room appears to be half finished with bare plaster where they’ve rewired and in need of urgent decoration. In the room there is a good size wardrobe but 2/3 is locked so very little space for clothes. 
The shower hardly has enough power to rinse you down. Only half a toilet roll left so that ran out. 
Overall, I’ve stayed in better hostels 

The worst room I’ve ever stayed in

Booked a one night stay at Cafe Bar 26.  Self service check in, the bar downstairs didnt seem to want to get involved or help.  We reserved Room 4.  Initial impression was it was clean and tidy. Spacious. On returning to the room after the afternoon out in Keswick the room was really cool.  The radiator in the far corner was warm but it wasn't strong enough to heat the room.  The bathroom was cold and the radiator was off with no controls available to turn it on.  We had to huddle under the duvet to stay warm. Not a comfortable stay at all.  Had initially thought it would be a good option to return to in future but after that stay, we wont be back.  No option to contact anyone to raise queries, as booking information contained only an email! Not good service at all.  Very disappointing - Stay well clear of this accommodation.

Room Only; terrible!

We left after one night . A lot of nicer accommodations at similar prices around. 

- it’s noisy. Just above the pub. You can hear people talking, the music is really loud till late. 

- it’s dirty. It felt like the bedroom hadn’t been cleaned: hairs in the sink, yellow stains on the toilet seat, mud in the shower!! 

You don’t have the breakfast included. You can leave your luggage, but you have to leave it in front of the door (everyone can access it) so not really safe . 

Wouldn’t recommend. 

Avoid - noisy and dirty 

Me and my partner stayed here for two nights mid-week in august paid £80 a night which I thought was not bad for peak season. 
The room itself was bright and clean and in a good location but dont bet on having a good nights sleep if staying here.
First off the double bed we requested was simply two single beds with separate single duvets pushed up together.so much as sit on the bed and they roll away from each other. The mattress was like sleeping on the floor it was so hard. Maybee the floor would've been better as if you so much as wriggle a toe the whole bed creaks as if an elephant is rolling round on it. 
One limp pillow is all you are afforded. Two giant cushions which if you try to use as a pillow will leave you so far down the bed your feet will hang out.
Apart from the beds the music downstairs on the second night was absolutely appalling. Could be heard all the way up the street so you can imagine what it was like in our room. 
We came to our room at 10:30pm
Listened to the screaming and singing for half an hour then decided to ring downstairs to ask what time the music would be stopping 
Only to be told "this is the last song, or maybee one more" 
The music finally ceased 40 minutes later at twenty to twelve.
Needless to say I would not reccomend. I'm not against people enjoying themselves but when your trying to make business by renting out rooms too you should show some consideration to the people staying there.

Terrible stay

Perfectly adequate.  Nice clean rooms in central Keswick.  Check-in/check-out procedure very efficient (if a little impersonal as you never see anyone).  We had no problems with noise until the morning when the recycling bins outside were emptied.  Although we only paid £60, that's room-only so it's not the greatest value for money.  But given that they had availability at very short-notice in peak season, no real complaints overall.
