Friendly welcome, small but perfectly clean, functional and contemporary room with black iron bed and cream furnishings (very simple without looking cheap). Slap in the center of the village, and a stones throw from everything. Breakfast was perfect, Cereal, Yogurt, juice, tea or coffee, toast and jams, and then offered a choice of stunning 'mains' from full English, to fish,... More

Right in the middle of Keswick. Very good food, especially the breakfast, room maybe a bit on the small side but OK for a couple of nights. Staff friendly & helpful. We were the only couple in the bar at 11:15, but still ready to serve. There is entertainment on a Saturday and can recommend the Irish Nights! Downside -... More

We booked a last minute break at Sweeny's, we had seen it on several recent visits to Keswick and it always appeared to be popular. We were surprised at how quiet Keswick town centre was as the weather was really good for the time of year. We booked in and were shown to our room (2) which overlooked the street... More

We found the room quite small and the food quite basic, it isnt somewhere we would recommend to anyone, werent very happy with the breakfast, watch out for the chap who cooks breakfast, he seems to be in his 50s or there abouts, we noted him smoking near the kitchen area, not pleased at all. More

Thank you for your comments and we are sorry that you did not entirely enjoy your stay. We have tried to carry out a full and thorough investigation, however this has been difficult in the absence of what was specifically wrong with your breakfast and what you found basic about the food. We have investigated the allegation of staff smoking... More

Me and my boyfriend regularly go for a lunch or dinner to Sweeney's. We always enjoy our meals there; they are tasty, nicely presented and generous. Staff are friendly and helpful. There's a nice ambiance both upstairs and downstairs at Sweeney's. They definitely serve nice bar meals there. More
