Leanne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The rooms are a good size but remember this is a traditional hotel so there is lots of old wood and floral curtains. The pool is a good size with Jacuzzi. Food is ok but cheap so you get what you pay for. Breakfast was ok but could be better. The staff are very friendly especially the chap with the tattoos but they are over stretched. The chap with the shirt on is very grumpy.

Happy Family Stay.

I was quite surprised how beautiful the place was, our room was very spacious and comfortable. I was very happy with the two 50 inch TV. The bathroom was clean and tidy. The kids were very happy with our time there.
Leon, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fantastic location, staff were exceptional - especially given they were dealing with a very large group booking. Free Spa / Pool area is good and great after a long walk in the fells. Some areas of the hotel need a little TLC for the 4* rating.

Castle Inn , A great place

Stay was excellent , especially the staff. Elizabeth in the restaurant remembered me from the last time and asked about the family . She is a treasure and should be treated as such- and no ,,she did not pay me for writing this

Peter, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was spacious but facing parking which came as a surprise. Breakfast and dinner options are good. Pool facilities are good. First breakfast only one person doing everything who was stressed and abrupt and complained so out loud. The other morning there were more staff so ok. In general staff are helpful and the stay was pleasant.
Excellent Lamb Henry!

8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel with good leisure facilities.

Booked a mid-week break to get away from it all. Had room 104. Lovely suite, with sitting area. Bed was comfortable, but the room was very warm. No A/c, just a fan. Thank goodness we didn't stay during the July heatwave. Food in the restaurant was very tasty, but I would call it a bar not a restaurant. Good choice for breakfast.

We have stayed here before and returned as it is a wonderful location and the facilities are excellent. The hotel is under renovation but didn't affect our stay at all

The rooms we stayed in were very clean, the staff were helpful and well staffed nothing was any bother for us. We made use of the tennis court which was also included and free! Lovely beer garden and the flower gardens were beautiful and well kept. View of the lake and hills from our room was wonderful. Parking was good with ample free parking bays. Good selection of breakfast choices ranging from continental and full English. The evening meal choices were not that good as menu was a bit small which had fish, pie, burger, steak, and sausage. Our first two evening meals of our visit were laced in salt however after ordering the steak on our third evening meal we kindly told the staff that we would prefer no salt, which the staff did for us and got to admit the meal was very tasty. Would highly recommend this hotel 😃

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel, currently undergoing refurbishment. But no impact on experience. Staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of nice touches in the room. I have already recommended it to several people and I will certainly return. We were a family of 5 and the kids also remarked on how impressive it was, they enjoyed playing tennis and having a swim after dinner. Food was wonderful with an excellent choice, we enjoyed both our dinner and breakfast. *Highly recommend *
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed a quiet weekend in the Lake District in the Castle Inn conveniently located near Keswick. The hotel is comfortable and in the late stage of being upgraded; this was happening in the background and did not impact nor disturb. I did feel the staff were a bit thin on the ground; however, they could not have been more friendly or helpful, they really made us feel welcome. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
Edwin, 5-night trip

The room was excellent and so were the rest of the facilities. The staff were friendly and very efficient. Although renovation work was being carried out during the day it did not interfere with the enjoyment of our stay.
