Lake District Castle Inn  

Set on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake just outside Keswick in England’s Lake District. Close to Derwentwater, Mirehouse & Gardens, the Lake District Wildlife Park, Skiddaw Mountain and Castlerigg Stone Circle. A family-friendly base for fell walks, wildlife spotting and lake-side escapes.

Housed in a late-1700s coaching inn with 45 modern guestrooms, many enjoying lake or fell views. Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms (some with deep soaking tubs), flat-panel TVs and tea/coffee facilities. Quiet gardens, a family-run vibe and easy motorway access make it relaxed and unpretentious.

Indoor pool, spa pool, steam room and sauna plus a health club and fitness area. Outdoor tennis courts, mini-golf, table tennis and an arcade/games room keep everyone busy. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, free on-site parking, picnic spots and children’s playrooms round out the offerings — perfect for wake-up-to-lake-mist mornings.

Conference space, meeting and presentation rooms and a computer station support events and work trips. 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and laundry/dry-cleaning services available. Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property.

Two on-site restaurants and the Castle Inn Tavern serve hearty evening meals and local beers. There’s a bar/lounge and 24-hour room service for late arrivals. English breakfasts are offered daily for a fee.
