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

A well-appointed and clean hotel. Lovely leisure complex containing a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Good food for both breakfast and an evening meal. Friendly staff. Would go back and thus thoroughly recommend it for a stay in the Lake District.

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.
