Kings Head Hotel

Keswick town centre and Derwent Water may be five miles to the North but that doesn’t stop the Kings Hotel from being a good little budget property. Located within ten minutes drive of Castlerigg Stone Circle, one of the most dramatic prehistoric monuments in Great Britain, this cosy character hotel with its oak wooden beams and millstone affectations offers stunning views of St Johns In The Vale and Thirlmere, a three mile lake sitting on the south-eastern flank of Keswick best views are from the road on the western shoreline.

Starting life as 17th Century Coaching Inn the hotel has become increasingly popular with walkers and climbers eager to bag the lofty Helvellyn mountain that towers over the property.

This Keswick hotel offers an award winning menu which has acquired something of a legendary status on account of the thick-cut ham and local chutney served at breakfast.

The rooms are clean, the staff attentive and the guests can enjoy a tipple or two in the recently refurbished Bar Restaurant which serves a good selection of wines and malt whiskies – R4U
