Keswick Country House Hotel

8/10 Good
"Unfortunately we had a very soft mattress I spoke to the receptionist and our room was changed straight away where the bed had a firm mattress. All other aspects of the stay were excellent brilliant setting lovely food and excellent staff. The only small let down is bedroom wallpaper which could do with an upgrade."
