The George Hotel

The George Hotel, Restaurant & Bar offers fantastic food, real ales and comfortable accommodation near the beautiful town square.

WELCOME! The George is the Keswick’s oldest coaching inn, carefully restored to its former glory. The hotel consists of a welcoming wood beamed bar, a cosy seating area with an adjoining a-la-carte restaurant and quality accommodation in all of its 12 en-suite bedrooms.

An 17th century coaching house, The George was the Inn of choice for the Earl of Derwent Water on a journey to join the Jacobite rebellion, from which he never returned. The impression of the 330-year history of the Inn is indisputable, in the heavily beamed rooms full of antique objects and furniture.

The bar is perfect for a quiet drink of the local Jennings cask ales and the hotel's own ale, alongside homely fires, which glow through winter nights. We offer some of the best food to be found anywhere in Keswick and not only are we home to the legendary Gigantic Pies (have a look at the photos! ! ) but we also offer traditional food with a modern twist, using locally sourced and produced ingredients. All our dishes are prepared with care and beautifully presented, to be enjoyed in the comfortable dining room or in the cosy bar areas – the choice is yours!

The George is also ideal for those seeking a distinctive stay in the Lake District, ideally located for your holiday or short break - within a short walking distance to Derwent Water and with a number of fantastic walks in the surrounding hills. We also offer free parking & have permits for a long stay car park very close by.

So come and fill your lungs with clean, fresh Lakeland air and we'll make sure you're well fed, watered and rested.
