The room was pleasant and a good size. Beds comfy. The chap serving in the restaurant/bar was very helpful and accommodating as we hadn't booked a table. We got the impression from the website that bar food was available, but it is definitely a sit-down restaurant!
The breakfast room was well stocked, and the cooked option was hot and tasty.
Perfect for a one night stop over before we reached our rented accommodation for the week. Would use the hotel again.

Everything was just perfect. This was my first solo trip and I was more than a little apprehensive. But the Staff were so friendly and put me at ease - I most definitely will go back again. I loved the atmosphere in the Hotel; the decor and the ability to use the pool . Breakfast was also just what was needed.
One of the reasons I choose to stay here was that it was in quite a central location and there was lots to see in the surrounding area. Well done to all at Embleton. Thank you for a lovely few days.
On Keswick’s main street, 10 minutes’ walk from Derwentwater, The Kings Arms Hotel offers easy access to the Lake District.

The hotel was fantastic- cozy, inviting and delicious food. There was a fire in the fireplace on the chilly evenings. Breakfast was wonderful, and Debby, the associate, was helpful, gracious and kind. We would definitely return in the future.
Highfield features great lake and mountain views and its own private car park. The beautiful rooms have en suite bathrooms and tea/coffee making facilities.

A quiet little village in the north of the Lake District far enough away from the main towns of Keswick, etc. to enable you to enjoy the peace of the Lake District without the crowds. Some nice pubs in and around the village where you can experience the local atmosphere and mix with the locals. Best to have a car to explore the areas around the village.

Covers a Friday on an outward joyride <500 miles and an inward of similar distance on the following Monday. Allocated a large room at £119 on Friday and a noticeably smaller one on our return on the Monday at a rate of £129 - no explanation. The hotel allows dogs in dining areas and it was overrun, one customer had 3 dogs, all filthy. Hotel should allow in one area only

Good food, good beer and some nice wines. Friendly staff.
My room was a little overpriced for what it was (a small double) would be very cramped if two people sharing, but was adequate for the nights stay I needed. I travelled down from Scotland on my way home to London and stopped on the way overnight just to get a dinner and some rest.
The room was in front of a shared entrance so could be noisy and the other guest rooms were close so could occasionally hear talking and general noise. The window opens up onto the road and the car park opposite so can also get noisy if guests arrive or leave.
The location of the premises is perfect for access to walks and the lakes.

The whole experience was a joy from the Staff,Room,Grounds and the food simply outstanding.
A Hotel that would outshine many 5 star hotels in ambiance and that family feeling.

The Dining Restaurant and the amazing food & wine.
The Dining Restaurant and the amazing food & wine. Great staff, good humoured and very helpful. Cocktail bar is a must, Wow! Just stand and take in the view over the lake from the rear steps - Breath taking.
Lovely cottage in a nice location. Keswick easily accessible by bus and car. Close to the distillery, which is worth a visit. Can't think of any real downside to the cottage. I struggle to keep the fire going, though that was probably my inexperience. The beds were comfortable, nice size lounge and well equipped kitchen. Village pub less than a 5 minute walk. Nicve area with some nice walks, though ours were limited owing to the weather.
absolutely fantastic cosy cottage in a peaceful location close to Bassenthwaite village . fantastic views from the lounge and bedrooms. short walk to the village where there is a lovely pub called the sun inn who are very friendly and do great food . the cottage had panel heaters in every room so it’s always warm . good supply of logs and fire lighters for the stove. can’t fault out stay it was perfect. great base for walking.
Very quiet and charming place🥰 I visited Fidel every morning (alpaca)☺️ it was very clean and dishwasher is a big plus🥳 There is an agility area for dogs (I am traveling with two dogs) where they can run off leash. There is also plenty of space around to walk your dog on a leash ,And the sunset 😍😍😍 we will definitely come back here again 😍 Also very close to lake district park.
Excellent location on the flank of Skiddaw and a short drive to Keswick. Ideal location for the North lakes and surrounding area. We liked the farm environment and everyone was super helpful. The interior of our room was exceptional. The window was a bit small but as we spent most of our time out doors it isn't really an issue. We were able to plug in our EV for charging.
Breakfast was excellent, Nice food cooked and presented well. The room was lovely and the staff friendly and helpful, very highly rated. A member of staff even telephoned me before we had even arrived at the hotel to see if we wanted an evening meal at the restaurant, she was concerned that bookings would possibly stop us from doing so, a very nice touch.
Very comfortable room on the edge of Bassenthwaite lake. Generous tea tray provided with homemade biscuits. Flowers on the windowsill were a lovely touch. We made use of the fridge to keep breakfast & picnic foodstuffs.
The luxury shower gel, soap & hand lotion were also appreciated.
Avery nice hotel with attention to detail
Bedroom was spacious and plenty of drawers and cupboards lovely big bathroom with separate shower
Food was excellent and beautifully presented lovely atmosphere and the bar was very cosy with views across the countryside
Very special place. This gorgeous farmhouse was the perfect home base for our family visit to the lake district. You could spend your entire trip just enjoying the immediate surroundings. Everything was clean, comfortable, and like the pictures but more beautiful!
Gardens are beautiful. Bathroom was very nice.
Access to the fells Sale, etc. was excellent. They had two decent draft beers on tap.
Breakfast was very nice and a good selection from the continental area as well as the à la cart menu.
Plenty of good parking.
We have visited for years since our honeymoon. It has changed and lacks the finesse and detail like fresh flowers and a lounge to sit in which most hotels have. We understand the changes are needed for it to survive and be economically viable.
Superb location, very different vibe than a hotel or a typical lodge, feels like back in time. We loved how quiet it was, the view is also amazing.
Also the wi-fi barely worked and the phone reception is poor, great way to switch off!
I liked the room very bright and clean . Hotel restaurant is amazing , staff at the restaurant very friendly and cleaners around the hotel are very friendly . The lake view is stunning . Very unique hotel with its own charm
Well maintained, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped. Location was good, just 15 minutes’ drive from Keswick and very close to Bassenthwaite lake which is not busy. Games room is good - we played table tennis
Food was great: both breakfast and dinner were well up the standard we were expecting. The hotel staff were very responsive to our request for a room change. The location is just fabulous. And the hotel is very quiet.
Absolutely gorgeous old coaching inn in a secluded, peaceful spot in the Lake District. Dog friendly. Loved the old bar and beautiful gardens. The staff, (especially Tom and Sam) were brilliant. Food was delicious!!
The room was kept exceptionally well and clean and was in a great location for walks and only a 5 to 10 minute drive to keswick. Both Abby and Corinne were really good hosts.
location was very good and not too far to Keswick if driving but not if you were disabled as very hilly wild life was very good as we had red squirrels in garden every day
