This is a lovely hotel in a beautiful location within walking distance of Keswick. We chose Lairbeck for its family room that allowed us the 5 of us to stay together. We all had comfy beds and a warm welcome. A family with 3 primary school boys is not always welcome in a good hotel. However the owners made us... More

Not stayed here as the owners would not even accept our booking. We had intended to book two rooms to include a single room for our son. We explained he has a disability and wanted his room to be near ours, for convenience. The owners' responses were far from welcoming as our booking was not accepted over the phone. We... More

We have just returned from a fabulous weekend in Keswick. We stayed at the Lairbeck Hotel and I have to say what a wonderful place to stay. The accomodation was the cleanest I have every stayed in. The food was good. The bed was so comfortable. What made our weekend was the lovely couple who run the hotel. They are... More

The hotel is well situated just outside of town, the standard room was spacious and very comfortable. we had a lovely weekend there and would highly recommend it. The food was very good, simle but well cooked and presented. The owner and his wife were very friendly and helpful. Although we are not" late night people" I could see how... More

This was definitely a great place to get away. The room was perfect, the view awesome, and the staff were very friendly. The only negative, and it's temporary, is that it was a bit hard to find because road construction closed the main road to the hotel. I know the construction has gone on a bit longer than planned, but... More

The Lairbeck is the sole Michelin listed hotel in Keswick with fabulous views of the surrounding mountains from the bedrooms and the magnificent gardens. You feel very close to Skidaw. The entire area feels very un-English and very Swiss with a definite treeline visible on all the mountains. Derwent Water is a stroll away with a 50minute boat trip round... More

It is 20 years since I was in boarding school in south africa but oh how quickly it all came back! We felt like an inconvenience to the "host" rather than welcomed paying guests. It is all rules and cufews. No help with bags - food mediocre - no better than I would russle up after work. You have to... More

We came here after having a bad experience at The Swallow Hotel (Carlise) which was dirty and dated! The owners here were very accomadating and we got to lovely rooms. We had the 'housekeepers room' which was more modern and very much to our liking. The view out into the garden was lovely and so peaceful. The room was clean... More

Very good hotel at a quiet location, on a 10 minute walk from the centre of the lovely town of Keswick. The owner is very friendly and makes time for his guests, and his wife serves a very good breakfast. The hotel has a nice garden. My room was very nice and was well equiped. The building itself has much... More
