Keswick, the popular tourist destination in the north of the Lake District, has something to offer visitors at any time of year. The town offers a variety of shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing, and excellent mountain biking opportunities, while the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre.

Had a lovely break nice and relaxing the steps going into lodge where a bit spaced out could do with the gap not being so big between slats but would go back
Alison
We had a couple of meals at the local The Pheasant which were excellent. We would definitely return to Robins Nest and recommend to family and friends.
