AA Rosette-Awarded Steakhouse in Keswick's Market Square - Inn On The Square
Award-Winning Dining
Brossen Steakhouse holds an AA Rosette Award for its locally sourced dishes. The hotel offers an exclusive hot chocolate station and special seasonal menus throughout the year. Three on-site bars provide versatile areas for dining, from the chic lounge bar to the more casual back bar.
Pet-Friendly Accommodations
The hotel allows up to two dogs per room and provides pet baskets, bowls, and a dedicated dog spa with a washing station. A tag is placed on the door to signal when a dog is inside, allowing guests to leave their pet briefly while they shop or eat. Dogs are welcome in the front bar, back bar, and a designated dining area near reception, and receive a complimentary sausage at breakfast.
Rooms and Design
Guest rooms blend Scandinavian-style design with Cumbrian elements, offering scenic views of the Lake District fells or the market square. Room categories include Town rooms overlooking the square and Herdwick rooms with fell views, both equipped with walk-in showers. Secure underground parking is available for £12 per night and must be pre-booked.
Location and Accessibility
The hotel sits directly on Keswick's market square, a 10-minute walk from Derwentwater Lake and within the Lake District National Park. Guests have immediate access to local shops, bars, restaurants, and the twice-weekly market on Thursdays and Saturdays. The building includes a lift and wheelchair-accessible rooms with emergency cords in bathrooms and grab rails.
Entertainment and Activities
Live sport events are broadcast in the hotel's bars. The hotel hosts regular community activities including quiz nights, a Christmas treasure hunt, and a casino evening. For outdoor guests, secure bike storage and a drying area are provided, and the hotel is close to golf courses and walking trails.
