The full story

About The Ruddings

The Ruddings is a renovated boutique hotel in Braithwaite, a village west of Keswick that works particularly well for exploring the Newlands Valley, Whinlatter Forest and the north-western fells. The property combines contemporary rooms and suites with food and drink on site, while some accommodation is suitable for guests travelling with dogs. Its location offers a quieter alternative to central Keswick without sacrificing easy road access to Derwentwater and the town’s attractions. For walkers and cyclists, the surrounding routes are the major draw and give the hotel strong year-round potential.

Before you book: room types, dining times, spa access, pet policies, parking arrangements and package inclusions can change. Check the current property and Booking.com terms for your dates before travelling.
