Keswick Country House Hotel

Keswick Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Keswick Country Hotel is an old building, with lots of character. The staff were all incredibly helpful. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel in 2024, and were keen to return. This time, we paid for half board. We were so glad we did. The food was superb. The breakfast was amazing - the items on the hot counter were being topped up so regularly that it didn't matter whether we went early or later, there was always plenty of food. The evening meal was also excellent. The menu varied from day to day, with a wide selection of meat, fish and vegetarian options. As a Coeliac, I have to stick to a rigid gluten free diet, and I often dread eating out because of the risk of being 'glutened'. But there was no need to worry at the Keswick Hotel. I've never been so well looked after. The whole team were aware of my gluten free diet, and I never had to explain it to any of them. Before I could ask, they were explaining to me what food I could have, and how the chef could vary almost all the dishes to make them gluten free. The person who showed us to our table each day had a special sheet, edited by the chef, showing everything I needed to know about any dishes that might have gluten. I have never felt so reassured in any restaurant since I was diagnosed in 2007. Free parking (in Keswick!) was also very useful. We had a lovely room, with a stunning view of Latrigg and Skiddaw(?). When the room needed servicing, it was done very quickly and discretely. Well done Keswick Country Hotel."
