Highfield Hotel Keswick best lake district hotel views cumbria lakes book
The views from our room in the Highfield Hotel in Keswick where simply stunning. You look right over Derwent Water towards Borrowdale, my favourite Lake District valley.


An impartial review of the Highfield Hotel in Keswick, Lake District

 
For those familiar with my blog – you will know how much I love the English Lake District, and as a base when staying in hotels & B&B’s I often head for Keswick as there is enough going on there with plenty of pubs, restaurants, shops and other activities if the weather is not the best for walking! It’s also not as manic and touristy as Windermere!
 

The Highfield Hotel, a superb location in Keswick

 
The Highfield Hotel in Keswick is a great place to stay as it is only a few minutes walk to the town centre but has amazing unspoilt views over Derwent Water and the surrounding mountains towards the Borrowdale Valley, which is one of my favourite views in the whole of the Lakes.

Rooms in The Highfield Hotel, Keswick

The rooms are modern and tastefully decorated, the views from the rooms at the front of the hotel are incredible, and the garden is a nice place to relax on a morning or evening. The breakfasts are really nice too with plenty of choice. Parking is also free at the rear of the hotel which is a bonus in Keswick.
 

The Highfield Hotel – highly recommended

 

All in all when taking into consideration the reasonable price of this 3 Star Silver Award Hotel, the views, location, decor and food, the Highfield Hotel is a highly recommended place to stay in the Lake District – just look at that view from the room above!
 

The Highfield Hotel, built in 1885, looks impressive from the front in a classic Lake District style using local Slate, and the garden is an excellent place to relax.

I hope you've found this info useful and it helps to plan your own adventures! I share my stuff simply to help others enjoy the great outdoors and reap the many physical & mental health benefits of being in nature.

I send an e-newsletter every few months about my latest walks, adventures, photos & exclusive stuff that isn't on the blog if you are interested. Subscribe below:

Not all my stuff goes on this blog - Give me a follow to see what else I've been up to: 

More people enjoying the outdoors is great - but a small minority are leaving rubbish behind. No one gets paid to clean up natural beauty spots, (I know I'm mainly preaching to the converted) but please take all your litter home and also don’t scorch the earth with fires & BBQs which takes years to recover. You'll be an absolute outdoors legend if you pick up & dispose of any rubbish you do see from others. Finally, when sharing your pics online, please also consider encouraging responsible & sustainable enjoyment of the outdoors too. We're all influencers to some extent!

COMMENTS SECTION

I’m always interested to know if people find my stuff useful to plan a walk, or if you have any further tips to help others (some of these write uyps are old now) – so any feedback is welcome, just leave a commnet below and I’ll get back to you…
