“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.”

a decent stay
town centre great location friendly staff breakfast selection small bedroom street noise inconsistent housekeeping
the hotel is located right in the town centre. this makes it easy to access everything. the staff were friendly and helpful. the breakfast offered a good selection of options.
My room was quite small, this was a bit of a squeeze. the noise from the street was noticeable, especially in the morning. housekeeping restocked tea and coffee on some days, but not others. I had to ask for supplies.
