Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ravensworth House enjoys high praise for its central location in Keswick, making it easy to explore the town centre, with Jaspers cafe and Packhouse Court's wine bar just a short walk away. Guests appreciate the provision of free parking a couple of minutes away and the spotless, comfortable rooms, particularly the spacious Skiddaw suite on the ground floor that feels like a 'home from home'. While most find the rooms cosy, a few guests have mentioned the absence of bedside tables or accessible power outlets next to the bed in some rooms.

some issues need attention

missing bedside tables insufficient heating
I stayed in a double room and found a few things lacking. there were no bedside tables, lamps, or accessible power outlets. this made charging my phone overnight difficult. the quilt was also not warm enough. I was cold even with the extra blanket (a thicker duvet would improve things).

Awesome Central Stay!

central location free parking nearby restaurants
The location was SUPER central! It was perfect for easily walking to the pubs and restaurants nearby. Free parking was available around the corner. That was a HUGE plus. I'll definitely be back!
The room was quite cold. A better quilt is needed. bedside lamps would be really helpful, as there aren't any, and the LED strip lights cannot be turned off from the bed!

Many restaurants and cafes are just a short walk away from the hotel. Jasper's cafe is less than a two-minute walk and provides an excellent breakfast alternative. I LOVED IT!!!

ensuite bathroom good rate
The Skiddaw room had a very spacious living area. The bedroom was in the back, complete with an ensuite. It was VERY clean. The room rate was good and Jason and Alison sorted car park, a mere 2 mins away. Thank you.
I noticed led strip lights which cannot be turned off without getting out of the bed.
