Weekend base for cycling weekend.Good location in centre of Keswick.Free car parking directly behind hotel with pass provided.Can be a little noisy late Friday and Saturday night but not enough to stop you sleeping.Staff are very friendly and helpful allowing us to store bikes in conference room and boiler room.Food in restaurant is not very adventurous but decent bar/conservatory food...

The room was very clean and a good size with a good sized bathroom. As other reviewers have mentioned that the public car park adjacent to the hotel is used by hotel customers, just make... More

We spent 2 nights at the Skiddaw after looking for a decent size hotel with a central location for our first family trip. The hotel is slap bang on the high street and has a deal with the adjacent public car park so you can park for free with a pass. On the whole an excellent stay with just a... More

What wonderfully friendly staff. Front front of reception to waiter & waitresses - I thought the service was attentive, low key and friendly. I took my Dad and Mum and son for Mothers day lunch as my husband had to go abroad last minute with work. The food was ample, delicous and the service was very good. I have recommended... More

Our 2 day break through Travelzoo was excellent value for money included afternoon tea, dinner first night, £10 off following night and bottle of wine in the room. Nice touch that. We found the hotel staff to be fine on the whole except... More

We enjoyed a 2 night DBB break at the Skiddaw and were very impressed with the hotel. Clean comfortable, well located in the town centre and all the facilities we needed. Car parking could be a challenge as they only have 4 spaces, but the arrangement with the ajacent public car park was fine and seemed to be well managed... More

The location in the centre of Keswick was a bonus as there was more to do ( and plenty of pubs to visit on foot) in the rain. There is a lift and quiet lounge on the first floor (no TV ) for a relaxing read (when its raining which was most of the time) .The hotel staff were helpful... More
