"We were in Room 6 which overlooked the square but two lots of glazing meant we didn't hear any noise, the windows could be opened if we wanted though."

“The Kings Arms Hotel strikes me as a classic coaching inn, now family-owned and deeply rooted in Keswick. I noticed their thoughtful dog policy, allowing pets in most rooms, which really stood out. A wide selection of whiskies in the bar-over 40, I read-also caught my attention, alongside their focus on local ales, suggesting a genuine commitment to local hospitality.”
