Gilcrux Hotels

"Very friendly and efficient staff, clean rooms, lovely breakfast, highly recommended."

"The hotel is showing its age, but is quite clean. Room was good but basic, the room heat control was difficult, had to contact the front desk where they promptly turned on the electricricity. The room got cold at night and I tried to get the heat to work with no success, but then at 05:20 the heat came on magically. I assume they have the heat control on timer to save energy. The very large unheated outdoor pool was good but swimming would be difficult with all the large waves."

"Easy self check-in, good sized room, comfy bed, excellent breakfast, decent sized private parking. Pub nearby. Perfect for a last minute break."

"Excellent breakfast. Clean but very dated rooms. Great view of the lake. "

"Stayed 18th April, four of us girls, and it was just the perfect place after a full day hiking. The room was spacious, clean, and had nice little touches, biscuits, water, milk, which made a difference. Beds were really comfy, exactly what you need after a long walk. The spa was spot on, swim, sauna, jacuzzi, just what we needed to relax. Great value as all four of us could stay in one room, which made it more fun and easy. Staff couldn’t do enough for us, really welcoming and helpful throughout. Outside area was lovely too, perfect for sitting out and catching a bit of sun. Would definitely stay again."

"The staff were very helpfull. The person on reception carried my case up for me. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The only problem I had was that I have leg problems and there is no lift. Because the hotel is 300 years old there is no way a loft could be installed. I'm glad I stayed there."

"Lovely hotel with ample parking. Easy walk into town for food or a visit to The Theatre on the lake. Excellent breakfast and bar facilities. The only suggestion I would make is bottled water in the room would be a nice touch."

"We had a family room, it was clean, comfortable and the bathroom was newly renovated. The adjoining room with the bunk bed was very spacious. This is an old building, so no elevator and narrow corridors but we had help with our luggage up the stairs. Location is adjacent to the pedestrian area (lovely for a walk around) and parking is off-site about 5 min walk away. There is a bar and restaurant on-site and the food was good. The breakfast in the morning was excellent with a fruit and cereal buffet and hot items to order from the menu. I would definitely recommend staying here."

"We had the most amazing bank holiday weekend staying at this lovely B&B in Keswick! As two friends who love hiking, it was the perfect base for exploring the Lakes. The location couldn’t have been better – close to beautiful trails, stunning views, and the town centre for a well-earned meal after a long day out. The room was spotless, cosy, and really comfortable – exactly what you need after a day on the fells. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly, giving us great tips on walks and local spots we might have otherwise missed. Breakfast each morning was a real highlight – fresh, delicious, and set us up perfectly for our hikes. You can tell a lot of care goes into making guests feel at home. We honestly had such a fab weekend and didn’t want to leave. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, friendly place to stay in Keswick – especially if you’re planning some outdoor adventures!"
