It all started out so well, we were up in Keswick as my husband was running the Karrimor 22k challenge and we asked if we could park in the hotel prior to the run which they very kindly permitted. On our return to check in we were told that it was policy that children under 5 are not permitted and... More

This guest booked two double rooms each for two adults through a booking agent. There was no mention in the booking form or at any time before arrival at check in of a 9 month old child. The booking agents form clearly stated our policy of welcoming children over 5. There was no contact with us about facilities for babies... More

We recently stayed at the Lairbeck Hotel for the purpose of competing in a triathlon local to the area. We had many teams and spectators alike which meant that we basically took over the whole hotel for the weekend! With such a variety of people competing and with severe weather conditions, arrivals were sporadic and in some cases very late.... More

We have been staying here for years. We have always been made to feel most welcome its friendly and fabulous accommodation. Malcolm and Jennifer are the perfect hosts.

I had read the previoius reviews and have to say our experience (me,wife and daughter) was very enjoyable. I initially booked the Hotel through Booking.com requesting the family room for 10-12 May. Having rang the Hotel to confirm the booking I was informed the family room was taken for those dates and Booking.com had made an error by continuing to... More

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

Thank you for your review in which you quite rightly say that you have not stayed at Lairbeck. Elsewhere in the review it says you stayed in February 2013 - you might wish to correct that. I have printed in full both emails that I sent to you. They are long but they set out our approach to any special... 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
