“Very good Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Just briefly to say that I and my business colleague recently stayed at the Skiddaw Hotel, and I must say that it cannot be faulted - my room was very nice and looked newly updated, the food was great and the location was perfect, and not forgetting the very helpful staff.
I will definitely book this hotel again on my next visit to the Lake District

“New Years Eve at The Skiddaw Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed in The Skiddaw hotel for 3 nights over the New Year period and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Service and friendliness of the hotel staff outstanding. A gala dinner was served each night to a very high standard - party on New Years night was a lot of fun.
Would highly recommend a stay in the Skiddaw, though ask for re-furbished room.

“Great hotel in excellent location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

We have just spent a lovely weekend at the Skiddaw hotel. It was a special offer which included an upgraded room and it was very pleasant with everything we needed including coffee making facilities.. The decor was light and cheerful and
the cleanliness of room and bathroom could not be faulted. The bath widened out at the shower end which made it very comfortable to use. The bed was large and comfortable too.Dinner was included in the offer so we had two excellent 4 course evening meals, well cooked with plenty of choice and more than we could eat. Breakfasts were great too with lots of choice. The hotel is situated right in the centre of Keswick and has free parking in the large car park immediately behind it.so that was very convenient.

Room Tip: Perhaps a room at the back if you are there on a Saturday morning, to avoid the noise of the market...

“Fantastic christmas at the Skiddaw”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

What can be said but absolutely FANTASTIC the hotel, the staff the whole package. Could not ask for more.The room we had was slightly dated but perfectly clean, we had our 2 miniature schnauzers with us(we were in a dog room) but we have been offered an upgraded room for next year. The food was excellent and plenty of it. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and always very pleasant. We enjoyed the whole christmas experience. Thanks Neels and all your staff. Hope to see you all again soon :-)
