We liked the room. It was traditional but looked as though recently refurbished. It was spacious and light. The pool, steam room and spa were great. I had mentioned it was a special anniversary and was handed a card by the receptionist. we will return maybe for a few days next time.

Good facilities, lovely grounds comfy bed. Reception was ok, but not really that welcoming compared to other places i have stayed. Changing room lockers in need of repair. Only getting one room key was a nuisance as this was needed to access the gym and the pool - not easy wgen there are 2 if you

This property is under renovations and for good reason. However, it should be completely closed to complete it. Nothing seems to be completely functioning. Staff was unresponsive and seemingly unwilling to help with requests. We called the front desk and asked for a hair dryer and a fan and they told us to look in the wardrobe. The room is 300sqft! We checked the wardrobe. They never called back and when I went down to ask about a hair dryer or a power converter that the room guide said would be available at the front, I was told that the keys don’t work due to Remodelling and the staff doesn’t come in until 10am. Apparently guests needs can only be scheduled between 10am and 5pm M-F.

The Castle Inn is situated approximately 4 miles outside of Keswick, it is surrounded by mountain views, fields and idealic views. The Bassenthwaite Lake is a 40 minute walk away, a Wildlife park is a 20 minute walk away and Dodd Wood Forestry/Osprey View Point is a bus journey away. The hotel staff made us feel very welcome, we're polite and answered any questions we had. Breakfast has a nice variety of food, the Tavern food was expensive but worth the big portion sizes, the leisure club area was very nice with a big indoor pool (unfortunately the stone sauna was closed due to maintenance) and gym. The room was dated, the air was very dusty (even with the window open we could taste and feel the dust in the air (thankfully we didn't spend a lot of time in the room). The bathroom was very modern, big with a nice sized bath, shower and plenty of space to get dressed. The room needs to be aired out and deep cleaned. I wish we were able to order food from the room, instead of going to the Tavern to order it (especially after a long day of walking or hiking).

Nice spacious hotel with friendly staff, lovely views, plenty of parking, the rooms are getting very tired but it was nice to see that BW have finally started the refurbishment of the bedrooms. The food in the restaurant is reasonably priced but not amazing, this is definitely another area of improvement required for this hotel.

The restaurant that the hotel used to have has sadly gone, the only place to eat is the bar, it was ok but not as nice as when we ate in the restaurant The room we had was nice but tired The spa area was nice but was spoilt by noisy children that were left to their own devices, using the spa facilities even though they were too young

Not bad hotel
The hotel itself was ok, bit outdated for the money, its not a spa.. its more a leasure center type feel, no warer in the eater funnel so when you've sat in the sauna you're goosed lol. Breakfast was ok..was what it was.. room not bad aside couldn't turn my heating off so was uncomfortable to sleep in, no extra pillows ( i know asl reception) but should be a general thing in the cupboard really. It wasnt BAD it was just ok.

Hidden gem
First time staying here and would definitely stay again. The staff were really friendly and helpful with all my needs. The meals were excellent and impeccable service. Yes the hotel felt a bit tired but it was in keeping with being in the countryside. The pool and gym were very clean.
