Completely redecorated and refurbished over the last few years, the Skiddaw Hotel must be the most centrally placed hotel of note in the Lake District. It is the hub of the town. Locals gather here, holiday makers meet here and walkers, climbers, naturalists, artists and poets have always, and still do, use it as a base. All the hotel’s 40 bedrooms offer a high standard of comfort. The Summit Rooms, a little bit more, with towelling robes, mineral water, and deluxe toiletries. Guests are welcome to use the leisure facilities at the Skiddaw’s sister hotel. Discounted golf can be played weekdays at the nearby Keswick Golf Club. Conference facilities are available, making the Skiddaw an equally good base for the business traveller.
