“The welcoming staff and reasonable pricing for drinks and food are definite highlights, especially given its convenient location a short walk from Keswick's centre. Rooms are kept clean and functional, providing a solid base for exploring the area, though some bathroom updates would be welcome. It strikes a good balance as a friendly, dog-welcoming inn with a traditional pub atmosphere.”
