The Map House Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

Greeted with a lukewarm warm reception upon arrival. No assistance offered to take the luggage to the room which was up three flights of stairs that got narrower towards the top. The breakfast server huffed and was visibly annoyed and upset when I dared to ask for a second coffee! I suggest that they invest in a coffee machine instead of serving single cup sized cafetières. The family room was a good size but had fairly low ceiling beams which were pointed out by 15 signs which made the room look more like a building site than a bedroom. No refrigerator in the room and the safe did not work. The location is around 6 miles from Keswick. Nice swimming pool but access via the door to the changing rooms does not work all of the time.

It’s extremely good hotel where you can truely feel the people life in Lake District

房間在餐廳樓上，廁所裏瀰漫著廚房飄上來的味道，住了幾天之後，所有掛着的衣服上都有了這個廚房的味。連續幾天都有蒼蠅或者密封進房間，很難趕走。房間説有10平米，但是相當轉不開身。餐廳環境很不錯，早餐選擇很豐富，量大，服務員態度非常好。

Big room, good service

Before arriving at keswick, the entrance was small and easy to miss. The hotel was rebuilt from an old house of 5-600, and some rooms were old. But the scenery outside is good, the boss is very friendly, and the breakfast is good.

I have grave misgivings about hotels in the busiest parts of the Lake District, especially at holiday times. Obviously they will be relentlessly overcrowded, with harassed and unfriendly staff. I’ve wanted to go back to the Proper Lake District for a while though so took a risk on the King’s Head. It’s easy to find on the ear popping main road up from Grasmere, just beyond the impressive hulk of Steel Fell, close to Thirlemere. Parking anywhere in the Lakes is hideous and expensive. Not here. Relaxed and plenty of room. It’s a long building with a pleasant bar restaurant area and beer garden. I found a rather pleasant residents lounge where a lady called Jo checked me in and made me feel welcome. It does get busy with passing trade but the staff look after their residents. They flogged me decent real ale and Jura whisky (the proper stuff). Breakfast is briskly table served from a menu and is well presented. I didn’t eat otherwise there but the food is popular and well priced. The road outside is busy and a bit of a racetrack, and the occasional fighter jet roars between the mountains on low altitude practice, but the relentless bleating of the sheep opposite soon returns things to normal. I was a little sorry to depart, but the manager said he hoped I would come again. I believe I will, and will even bring my wife.

We drove here with our dog, and it was a fantastic stay! The hotel is about a 10-minute drive from the town centre, but the scenery is stunning, and both breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious. The room was small but cosy, and they allow dogs for a very small extra fee, which was great. Every member of staff was incredibly friendly, and the food at the partner restaurant really impressed me—it even made me fall in love with British food all over again! For the price and experience, this trip felt absolutely perfect. I loved every moment of it!

The breakfast is delicious and the location is great. It's close to the lake and suitable for hiking. The area of ​​a triple room is sufficient. The parking lot is small and a bit difficult, but the manager is very nice and helps solve the problem in time. In addition, Keswick Lake and the town are great and suitable for hiking. The scenery on the road from Windermere to Keswick is beautiful. In comparison, it seems that there is no need to go to Lake Wen.
