History of the Highfield Hotel in Keswick
Highfield hotel in Keswick was built in the late 1880’s as two private residences using local Borrowdale slate from only a few miles away. Beautifully proportioned and ideally situated to take advantage of the magnificent lake and mountain views. The Highfield Restaurant has great views and was recognised in “The Times” newspaper (by Squaremeal.co.uk) during May 2007 as one of the UK’s Top Ten most Scenic Restaurants.
The hotel incorporates many historically features for which the Victorians were famous – balconies, turrets, bay windows, a veranda for your pre-dinner drink and even a converted chapel which is now a guest room "The Woodford Room". The hotel has been thoughtfully restored and refurbished to offer the highest quality accommodation yet still maintain the original homely feeling. There is complementary Internet access available for guests use. (Please note that Highfield hotel and restaurant is fully non-smoking).
Highfield is family owned and personally supervised by owners Howard & Caroline Speck, they are supported by a great team of people who's passion for customer service is evident the moment you walk in the door.
