Scafell Hotel i Keswick

Hotel staff were really good. Even though the hotel claims to be dog friendly, you cannot take your dog into the breakfast dining area and are asked to leave your dog in your car whilst you eat. Fortunately, a member of staff on hotel reception offered to look after our dog so we could have a breakfast. No mobile signal at all in the area and can only get wifi in hotel reception.

Had a great stay at the Scafell Hotel. All the staff were attentive, friendly and professional. The hotel has a great feel to it. It's an eclectic mix of the new and old. The room was a good size, you know how much kit you have when you're walking and the bathroom was fab, hot water, hot towels, great shower and bath if you needed to soak. We loved the hotel, the Riverside bar, where the food was very good and reasonably priced. The location is amazing. We have stayed at several locations throughout the Lakes and would happily return to this one. There really is something about it!

Borrowdale is a great location, and the hotel could be good value, if only the rooms had been redecorated in the past 10 years and/or it didn't cost £130 a night. Very old fashioned. Lounge areas were OK. Food in the bar was mixed; 2 of 4 meals good. Staff friendly enough.

All the staff were excellent ! !!! Food was good Location great Only negatives Room smelled musty & the shower wasn't powerful but the service, food & location made up for it.

Our room was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and had all the amenities we wanted (except for WiFi, which my son was a bit disappointed about). WiFi is only available in a designated public room on the ground floor. When we asked to book for the restaurant, we were advised to eat in the bar (which I hadn't known about), as it was more child-friendly; this was great advice. Overall, the food was good and the service excellent. We had a good night's sleep in a room overlooking the river.
