Hotels in Keswick

Where to stay in Keswick

For restaurants, pubs, shops and a car-light break, start with hotels in central Keswick around Market Square, Main Street, Station Road and The Heads. The northern shore of Derwentwater is within walking distance from much of the centre, while the bus station gives useful links into Borrowdale and other parts of the Lake District.

Hotels south of Keswick towards Borrowdale trade some town-centre convenience for immediate access to valleys, woodland and the southern end of Derwentwater. North of Keswick, the Bassenthwaite area offers larger grounds, spa facilities and easier access to attractions around the lake.

Compare more than the room rate

Parking, breakfast, dinner, spa access, dog charges, family occupancy and cancellation terms can all change the real cost of a stay. Check the exact room type and rate rather than assuming every room at the same hotel includes the same facilities.

If you are travelling without a car, compare the walking route from the hotel as well as the straight-line distance. A central base can be more useful than a rural property for evening meals and public transport, while a countryside hotel can be the better choice for early starts on nearby walks.
