Absolutely first class hotel. Staff and management could not be more helpful and the accommodation and food for the price was truly amazing. Room was small but clean and the housekeeping staff were spot on. Me and a good friend had an enjoyable stay for a couple of days hiking some of Cumbria best picks.

Great food, good service and a relaxed atmosphere.

Reviewed By Nick G

We stayed just outside Keswick over half term. We stumbled on the Coledale Inn by chance and booked for Sunday Lunch. We had a fantastic meal and ate there again later in the week. Service was fast and very friendly. The portion sizes are vast (and we like our food). The food is very flavorful. Dog friendly and lots of tables inside and out. Parking a bit tricky when busy. Genuinely a great spot to eat if you are in the Keswick area.

Underwhelming

Reviewed By BecJ43

This accommodation is more like a conference centre than a hotel. The room was a good size but the bed uncomfortable. The 7:30pm dinner service for all guests is annoying, we wanted to eat earlier but couldn’t. The reception staff member on check out, a man who could barely bother talking to us was unhelpful. We had paid for a packed lunch in advance but he was adamant it was not included so we had to pay. We have since clarified it was included. I wouldn’t stay here afain, not worth the price.

Really Cozy Twin Room, Good food and Beers

Reviewed By BuccaneerDave

Having been for several meals and beer at the Royal Oak on previous trips, we decided to stay for a couple of nights while we hiked in the area. Overall we had a really good stay. The breakfasts we had were all very good and with a wide variety including eggs benny, full english and salmon. The Sunday Lunch was very good. Lots to eat and all cooked very nicely. Beer selection is good and we had a few lovely pints. And no tv's in the pub! The twin rooms were good but small. The beds are very very close together. So close that if my wife walked in I think she would think I was cheating on her. That was the only down turn of the stay.

Amazing views, great location but a bit tired and overpriced

Reviewed By Ed64P

Very friendly staff and amazing views . However this is a 2 to 3 star boarding house type hotel charging 4 to 5 star hotel rates. I paid £175 a night and expected so much more. £110-£120 a night our stay would have been good. £175 a night just left s bad taste in the mouth. When I gave balanced feedback on booking.com the hotel replied with a very sarcastic and immature response.

Spacious and loved the wee extras it came with. Pre ordered breakfast each night, which made it super easy. Breakfast was lovely. So much to pick from and great quality. Vanessa was super helpful and friendly. Free parking on street, 5 min walk to the hustle and bustle of Keswick. We will ABSOLUTELY be re-booking Dolly Wagon.

Dated but ok for one night

Hotel is dated, though the rooms aren't too bad.Breakfast slow and looked like it had been on a hot plate for quite a while. Limited parking so had to use a public car park down the road that was quite expensive.

Perfect

Reviewed By Claire M

We stayed for one night whilst visiting friends in Keswick and we couldn’t have asked for more. Room 10 was tastefully decorated, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable. The breakfast was one of the nicest we’ve had. We will definitely return. Quite a few stairs up to room 10 but that was fine for us.

Superb.

Reviewed By P9262YFsimonh

We have walked past here on many occasions, but this was our first stay. The lady that greeted us was very smiley and happy and told us everything we needed to know. The room was top notch, comfy bed lovely views of the fells from the bedroom and bathroom, very clean and everything you wanted was in there. The service from the barman and the lady (they seemed to be the only 2 doing everything) was great. They we both pleasant, happy and had a good sense of humour. The food was very good, restaurant standard food. The breakfast was excellent and the service professional. We had a packed lunch which again was excellent - the best we had on our trip. We can't rate it and especially the staff enough.
