Weekend stay
Stayed at the castle inn hotel for 2 nights last weekend. Was a bit of a mixed bag to be fair. Good things: - great location - The room was clean, very quiet, plenty of space, the bed was really comfortable and the bathroom lovely - Great breakfast, plenty of choice. The breakfast room was nice with lovely views Not so good things: - the restaurant was not great. Menu was average and pretty basic (we would have really struggled to find something to eat if we would have stopped another night). The restaurant area was not that great for a hotel, we likened it to a weatherspoons, why they did not use the breakfast room at least for hotel guests is beyond me! - The staff….virtually all staff really need to go on a customer service course. Never once did I feel valued, most of the time they said the minimum possible with no ‘thank you’s’. A couple of examples; on day 2 our pass key stopped working so I went to the reception desk. She sorted the issue but just passed the key back to me saying ‘that’s done’. No ‘I’m sorry about that’. Also, in the restaurant when you got your food there was no ‘how is your food’ we were just left to it, when they came to clear the plates away the waitress just took them without saying a word. Overall just basic common sense things that they are not doing which doesn’t reflect well on a 3 star hotel with a spa. Despite the issues I would recommend for the location and the lovely rooms, just go elsewhere for an evening meal

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.

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
