Skiddaw Hotel

Very good

Liked: Everything was lovely, staff were amazing and very friendly, the room was clean and tidy upon arrival. It's in the centre of Keswick and they offered a parking permit for £12.00
Disliked: No real issue of the hotel, however, we went during the recent heat wave and the room was incredibly hot. AC would have been nice but like I say not an issue of the hotel!

Exceptional

Superb

Liked: The location of this hotel is perfect right in the middle of the town. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was lovely. Will definitely be staying here in the future
Disliked: The parking outside of the hotel is a public car park so on busy days it’s difficult to find a parking space due to it being full

Relaxing

Liked: Room was spacious and clean. Bed was big and comfy. Staff were really friendly and the breakfast was good. The location was ideal, directly in the centre of Keswick.
Disliked: We stayed in a Saturday so the street outside was really noisy until about 1am - it didn’t bother us but may bother others

Very good

We enjoyed our stay and...

Liked: The room was quiet but for the afternoon/evening hours, since our window was just above an outdoor cafe/bar. We needed the circulation so we had to keep it open. By bedtime it was quiet again. The room was small, but that is usually the case in European accommodations. The beds were pushed together but they had set it with separate linens to accommodate 2 singles sharing the bed. The room had a sitting area between the bed and ensuite facility, furnished with a small divan, chair and coffee table. The furniture was not really needed and made the space seem even smaller. We only stayed one night so I suppose anyone staying longer would have found the sitting area accommodating.The room was very clean. The staff was extremely accommodating - twice retrieving 'lost' items, and even holding onto one we did not discover missing until several days after we had left town. We happened to be in Skiddaw later in the week, and on a chance we stopped by to inquire if they had perhaps found and saved it. They still had the item! This is an item that could easily have been tossed into the trash, not knowing it contained a dental retainer. That item would have been quite expensive to replace! The desk attendant tried to help us locate a taxi for our departing day's journey, but in the end none were available on short notice. Fortunately we discovered a public bus that took us right to the doorstep of our country guesthouse for a fraction of the cost!
Disliked: No elevator to our room level, which was only problematic when we needed to move luggage.
