“Excellent place to stay with the wonderful garden and hospitality. A walk from Boot & Shoe after dinner back to house in a total darkness is quite an experience.”
“I'm sure the people who have taken over this Hotel are trying their best to bring it back to the way it must have been when it was in its former glory days. The staff are very friendly and helpful under the cicumstances, the rooms large & comfortable with plenty hot water available. The rates are very good considering the proximity to the Lake District with good transport connections on the doorstep. Needless to say but I'll be back !”
“Excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff. Fab breakfast. The room was clean, had everything we needed. Some areas are tired but you can see they are working hard to upgrade the tired areas. Thank you your kindness and hospitality.”
“Mainly stayed for Keswick Convention. Walkable distance from Base Camp and Main Tent at Skiddaw Street.
It's quiet and near a scenic view from a river nearby. The lawn of the Hotel brings rabbits and relaxing atmosphere to guests.
Friendly staff and great self-served breakfast. A good balance of price and service.
Will definitely visit again.”
“We had lovely views the weather was notbthe bwst but didnt put us off going for a walk and taken all the amazing views in only bad thing was we had a tv but no tv signal ”
“It’s hard to comment properly as we arrived late in the dark but even still the staff on the desk were so friendly greeting us, and super helpful and understanding when I realised I’d made a mistake with the booking. It’s lovely and quiet despite being so close to the motorway. Immediately put at ease and reassured that it’s a great place to stay, even if as it is for us just an overnight stopover mid journey. ”
“Beautiful scenic location. Hotel condition and all furnishing as new. Room extremely comfortable. Staff impeccable, not to be faulted. Food superb. Bar prices high. Lounge a bit bright…. Need table lamps rather than ceiling lights to give better ambience. Overall excellent.”
“We had had two very nice nights’ stay at the Fleece as part of a tour of Hadrian’s wall.
The pub/hotel has been refurbished to a high standard with quality materials, joinery and fittings.
We stayed in a superior room that was very well maintained and much larger than we expected.
We ate breakfast both mornings. There was a buffet (cereals, juice, toast, pastries, yoghurt, etc.) and a good range of dishes cooked to order.
Dinner was also excellent with a good choice, high quality food and……
“Great for overnight stay with dog. All staff friendly and helpful. Hotel is dated and rooms could be cleaner however bed was comfortable and bar and dining area clean with great breakfast choice. Large enclosed gardens and 15 minute walk into Keswick from back of the hotel (off road country walk)”
“The overall status of the hotel is nice, we arrived quite later at 1:00am, but the housekeeping starts knocking doors from 9:30 all the way to 10:40 (about 4 times) to ask people to check out... they really did what their boss told...”
"Absolutely love this place!!! Lovely location .
