Make the most of summer days with Daniel Thwaites’ inn, The Royal Oak in Keswick. From mid-week breaks to sizzling summer-inspired dining with friends, it’s time to get out and enjoy the change of season.

Summer getaways

Beat the crowds at the airport and treat yourself to a relaxing escape to The Royal Oak. Check-in, unwind and enjoy a glass of wine – or a pint of Thwaites ale - before heading out to explore the local area. Discover the lake's four main islands: Lord’s, Derwent, St Herbert’s and Rampsholme with three smaller ones as well. Or why not wander along the Derwentwater Walk for 10 miles of glorious views around the lake's edge?

After a busy day sightseeing, nestle down for a delicious, homecooked meal before slipping off for a cosy night’s sleep. Small details make a big difference, which is why Daniel Thwaites ensures every room comes with a few little extras including deliciously crumbly biscuits and fresh milk for a morning brew.

Based on two people sharing, prices for a one-night stay in a Standard Double Room (B&B) start at £125 per room.*
