Keswick Villas

The hotel is in a good location, just in the small town on Devon Lake. The room standard is 16 square meters, but it feels like it should be more than 20 square meters. Clean and hygienic. The service attitude is good, we arrived early, and the front desk gave the room without saying a word. The restaurant in the hotel is also very good and the dishes are delicious. Some local elderly people say that they have been eating in the restaurant for more than 20 years.

This hotel remains a must-do destination. I visited recently for the first time in 50 years. Delightfully, this historic building remains well looked after and well-run. Significant thought has gone into maintaining and extending the estate. The hotel’s wealth of historic features and furnishings remains. (The billiard room is a sight to see!). Stunning cocktail bar. Rooms remain comfortable and well-thought out. We had a deluxe room with lake view and a very comfy bed. Modern touches included a TV fitted into the bathroom and the spa is of the highest quality. Our complimentary visit to the wildlife park revealed its heartening ethos of conservation and we were lucky to witness a bird of prey experience in the grounds of the hotel. The deputy manager Richard is attentive and supportive. I am looking forward to seeing what the hotel does with the historic walled kitchen garden, which uniquely has a mountain stream running through it.

So nice, but not very easy to find, the scenery is OK
