About the hotel
Premier Inn Keswick is a 71-room budget chain hotel on High Hill, at the western end of Keswick and a few minutes' walk from the town centre and the Derwent Pencil Museum. Some rooms look over the river, and the hotel has a Thyme Bar & Grill restaurant serving breakfast and evening meals.
Rooms range from standard doubles to family rooms sleeping four, plus accessible rooms with a bath or roll-in shower and superior rooms with king beds. Up to two children eat breakfast free with a paying adult. It suits families and walkers who want a cheap, central base, but on-site parking is very limited, so arrive early or plan to use the town car park.
On-site parking is very limited (29 spaces, £13 a night) and the charger is a public GeniePoint unit, so neither is guaranteed.
Rooms: Standard Double, Standard Double, river view, Accessible Twin (bath or roll-in shower), Family Triple, Family Triple, river view, Family Quadruple, Superior Double (king bed).
