“Two features are especially praiseworthy at this excellent small hotel, a 17th century former coaching inn situated in England's only mountain forest, with magnificent views over Skiddaw; the warmth of welcome from Kath and Liam, and Liam's cooking. Rooms are cottagey and comfortable, and fellow guests, many of them walkers, soon start chatting or playing Scrabble in front of the fire in the cosy sitting room.”

The Cottage in the Wood
“Old fashioned, family run hotel in a spectacular Malvern Hills position.”
They say
“The Cottage in the Wood Country House Hotel and restaurant is a former 17th Century coaching inn situated in the heart of the Whinlatter forest near Keswick, in one of the most dramatic and unspoilt areas of the Lake District national park. The hotel is a superb example of luxury Keswick accommodation and the natural beauty of the area compelled the famous author and walker Wainwright to write “that the north western fells were the most delectable of all” and “I have sometimes tired of tramping the same tracks, but not here’.”
