Traditional Lake District stay on idyllic Lake Derwentwater

Mary Mount Hotel, Keswick, Lake District, Cumbria, UK

Property details

Scenic Lake District stay with beautiful views and lakeside access - includes breakfast, optional dinner, welcome drink and more
  • Traditional lakeside living: Situated just a stone’s throw from the shores of Derwentwater, the Mary Mount Hotel offers a warm and comfortable base from which to explore the Lake District’s natural beauty. Previously part of the Mawdsley family estate, this beloved landmark boasts breathtaking views of Catbells, perfect for admiring by the open fireplace.

  • Dinner with a view: Whether it's a full Cumbrian style breakfast or a tasty continental, start the day right before hitting the region’s scenic trails. The lakeside restaurant and bar, with its cosy indoor and garden seating, is a firm favourite amongst locals and guests alike. The kitchen focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients, serving up both classic dishes and daily specials.

  • Cosy home-from-home: The hotel's inviting atmosphere is elevated by modern touches: a cool palette of greys and plush furnishings adds a chic element to the building’s overall classic design. Head to your guest room to rest weary feet after a day in the mountains, making the most of contemporary amenities and comfy furnishings.

How to get there

The nearest mainline railway station is Penrith North Lakes, located around 35 minutes drive. For those arriving by car, the A591 is your main access route toward Keswick, which sits roughly three miles or a 10-minute drive from the hotel. Alternatively, you can explore the lake via the Keswick Launch ferry service, with Lodore Jetty available nearby.
