The location was perfect, the staff went above and beyond, and it was clean and comfy. There was only continental breakfast served on site, although cooked breakfast could be ordered the night before and involved nipping down the road to the King's Head Inn, two minutes drive or ten minutes walk away. The Continental breakfast was generous enough for us not to bother. The coffee shop stays open until 9 every night for drinks and light snacks. It is a small 15 bed lodge with a family feel, and a modern aspect, lovely skylights to let in both light and the view.
In the Lake District National Park, Inn on the Square has a central location by Keswick’s market square. This family-run property offers Scandinavian-style design combined with Cumbrian elements.

Getting here was already promising, then arriving and parking confirmed that we made the right choice for a hotel near Keswick. The hotel is situated in an idyllic area, surrounded by green hills and very quiet as it is just a bit off the main road. We had a lovely greeting before being shown to our room and were even given tips for late-evening walks. Breakfast and dinner were both exquisite, far exceeding our expectations.
All in all, we could not have wished for a quieter, better equipped, or prettier hotel for our 3-day Lake District trip.
Highfield features great lake and mountain views and its own private car park. The beautiful rooms have en suite bathrooms and tea/coffee making facilities.

The hotel, staff and food exceeded our expectations.
The hotel, staff and food exceeded our expectations. Real ale was well kept and a bonus. The highlight of the afternoons were the RAF jets flying up the valley at tree top hight. People would wait for their arrival.

The scenery is stunning!
The scenery is stunning! Shame about the closeness of the road to our bedroom window!
A cooked breakfast would be an improvement! The room was tiny! I did have another 3 days booked for the end of September but cancelled after our stay! Find somewhere different to eat other than The Kings Head which isn’t as good as they make out!

Gateway to both the Northern and Southern lakes.
Gateway to both the Northern and Southern lakes. A lot of good restaurants in the general area, but book early if in a large group . Hoards of people so visit important places early e.g. Castlerigg stone circle is MUCH better if you're the only group there. You can feel its 4500 years age. Book steam ferries before you go otherwise availability might be low. Ask prices at tea rooms before buying. We paid £33 for seven teas/coffees.

Thirlmere is out in the country, not in the rush of the general tourist population. It is easy to reach Keswick and Ambleside and delightful to come back to the peace.
The King's Head just down the road produces good food.
The countryside is majestic and inviting.
The location is great. Close to the town of Keswick and with plenty of scenic walking routes close by. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable with everything you might need. You could also feel the history of the place,
it was very cosy especially after a day on the fells returning to a roaring fire. The staff were friendly and more than happy to accommodate any requests we had. The breakfast was amazing as was the dinner service. We also had a Sunday lunch which again was very good. We will be back!
The whole property was homey, just what we wanted for a relaxing stay away from the city. We loved the full English breakfast served by the house owner herself. We felt very welcomed by Jean.
The home has a very traditional British and homey feel to it. The location is a perfect retreat as it is located at a scenic, accessible and quiet location. It’s in between Keswick and Ambleside. Plus the thirlmere infinity pool and waterfall is just a hike away which can actually be seen from our bedroom window.
A lovely overnight stay in this cozy farmhouse close to Thirlmere at the foot of the Dodds.
The landlady was friendly and welcoming and my room was very comfortable and had everything I needed. I particularly liked the fresh milk in the fridge and the Thelwell loo seat 😆
The tasty full English breakfast in a traditional dining room setting was perfect for setting me up for the day.
Just a 10 minute walk to the nearby pub and then on a little further to Thirlmere itself.
The location is in the middle of two towns, so literally on the highway. But it has great views.
Both towns Keswick and Ambelside are a 20 mins drive. So it's important to have a car if you plan to stay here.
Food is good, though the menu is limited. The outside seating has great views.
There are treks nearby the hotel, though I couldn't do any, but the trail started just behind the hotel.
Perfect location to get to Grasmere, Ambleside, Windermere and Keswick, which we were able to visit with ease during our stay. There was a mountain to climb metres away from the hotel and although it was too snowy this time, we would love to come back and try this. The staff were friendly and accomodating and my dog Bella loved all the extra love.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The location was in-between Keswick and Grasmere we managed to visit both of these places in one day. The hotel itself is both historic with modernisations with a very cosy feel to it. I came across this place by chance and was very impressed I would definitely stay again.
Brilliant continental breakfast - probably the best we’ve ever had. Good choice. Parking was free. Room was good - had all the basics (hairdryer / tv / bathroom etc) . Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great walks up to Helvellyn and over to Glenridding from the hotel
it was very nice and quiet, the bunks were Cozy, the manager of the property was very kind and put on the fire for me before she left. The barn is also easily accessible via bus, which makes the lakes and scenic hiking routes easily accessible as well.
What a delightful place to stay! A working farm with lambing about to start, Helvellyn above for a great day's walk, Thirlmere below and well worth exploring. A breath of fresh air.
Very friendly staff
Clean & tidy & comfortable bed
Great value for the Lake District
Perfect staff
Very dog friendly
Great little licensed coffee shop open till 9pm!
