“Skiddaw Hotel occupies a prime spot on Keswick's main square, which is ideal for exploring the town and accessing Derwentwater. I note the Brasserie 31 gets consistent praise, as do the family-friendly amenities and dog-friendly accommodations, but the bar area can get overcrowded and there seem to be issues with room ventilation that need addressing. The Greta Suite event space is a definite plus for private gatherings.”

great locationfriendly staffextensive breakfastmissing outlookconstant noisepaper-thin wall
The location is great for exploring. Staff members were friendly, helpful, polite and efficient. The breakfast menu had an extensive selection. I liked it.
The room had no outlook. There was a constant noise. I presumed it came from the ventilation system, it was there both day and night. The noise was unpleasant the whole time. I could not stop it. The walls and doors felt thin as paper. That was bad.
