A countryside setting can mean more space and easier parking, but fewer places within a short walk for an evening meal or drink. Compare restaurant opening, public transport, taxi availability and the distance to Keswick before booking.

Country-house hotels also vary hugely in scale. Some are intimate properties with only a small number of rooms; others are full-service hotels with leisure facilities, events and extensive grounds.
