About

Nestled near Keswick within the picturesque Lake District National Park lies Lake District Castle Inn Hotel, originally a coaching Inn dating back to 1770. Surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Cumbrian mountains and with views of the serene waters of Bassenthwaite Lake, our charming and relaxed hotel offers a tranquil retreat for those seeking relaxation and adventure alike.

From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll be greeted with genuine smiles and a level of personal service that feels more like visiting old friends than checking into a hotel.
