Historic Lake District hotel on the market for 'substantial amount'
The Keswick Country House Hotel is being marketed by Colliers for a "substantial" amount and is located in Keswick, Cumbria, on five acres of landscaped gardens just a short walk from the town centre.
The 73-bedroom hotel, which includes two suites and four junior suites, is spread across the original 1860s main house and the neighbouring Old Station Annexe.
Colliers said the hotel has seen continuous investment and refurbishment under the same private ownership for the past 24 years.
Julian Troup, head of the hotels agency team at Colliers, said: "There is substantial demand from both domestic and international hotel buyers for high-quality hotels in tourism hotspots such as the Lake District.
"We anticipate a healthy level of interest in the Keswick Country House Hotel.
"Last month we sold the 70-bedroom Ambleside Salutation Hotel and Spa for in excess of the guide price, adding to the high volume of UK hotel sales that we have concluded already this year, and demonstrating the continuing confidence in the market from a diverse range of buyers."
The hotel is situated within the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (Image: Supplied) For the financial year ending June 30, 2024, the hotel recorded a net turnover of more than £4 million, driven mainly by the leisure market, including independent travellers and group tours.
The property features The Lonsdale Restaurant and Garden Room, which can seat up to 140 guests, a bar and lounge area for 100 guests, the Keswick Suite, a study, and a snooker room located in the station building.
Furthermore, the Barmore Suite offers flexible space for small private events or board meetings.
The site also includes 38 staff bedrooms across the main hotel, a detached accommodation block, and a separate chalet.
Additionally, the hotel is situated within the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts around 18 million visitors each year.
It offers open views towards Skiddaw and Latrigg and is also located near the recently restored Keswick to Threlkeld Trail, a scenic path for walkers and cyclists built on the old railway line that runs alongside the hotel.

Reaction to US and EU trade deal
TURNBERRY, Scotland (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said the United States and the European Union had reached agreement on a trade deal that includes a 15% tariff on EU goods entering the U.S. and significant EU purchases of U.S. energy and military equipment. The deal also calls for $600 billion in investments in the U.S. by the European Union, he told reporters. This follows a U.S. deal with Japan on July 23 that cut tariffs on auto imports and other goods in exchange for a $550 billion package of U.S.-bound investment and loans. Major financial markets were still closed. The euro ended last week around three-week highs at $1.1738, while the STOXX 600 <.STOXX > hit its highest since early June last week as optimism built for an EU/U.S. trading deal. Following are comments from business leaders and companies, and market reaction to the announcement. COMMENTS: MICHAEL BROWN, SENIOR RESEARCH STRATEGIST, PEPPERSTONE, LONDON: "The EU is going to be hit with a 15% tariff which is pretty punchy but it's half of the 30% they were threatened with and it's well off the 50% that Trump had been throwing around at the start of the month so that's good news." "This is more a case of the risk of no deal being removed as opposed to whether it's 15%-20%, I'm not entirely sure that matters so much at least not in terms of how markets are going to trade in an hour or so when things get up and running for the week." "The two obvious reactions that you would expect are upside in the euro and upside in equity futures. I don't think equities in particular needed much of an excuse to rally and now they've got one." ERIC WINOGRAD, CHIEF ECONOMIST, ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN, NEW YORK: "This is very similar to the deal we reached with Japan." "We will need to see how long the sides stick to the deal. From a market perspective, it is reassuring in the sense that having a deal is better than not having a deal." RICK MECKLER, PARTNER, CHERRY LANE INVESTMENTS, NEW VERNON, NEW JERSEY: "It's really in line with the Japan deal, and I assume investors will view it positively as they viewed the Japan deal. The reality is there will be higher tariffs, which may lead to more inflation, depending on how much of it is absorbed by the manufacturers and how much of it is passed on to consumers. I think from the administration's point of view, they probably have begun to address the balance of trade issues. The question remains whether using tariffs as a way to address these imbalances is positive for the global economy or just a tax that helps with jobs here in the U.S." Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
