Guests choose from 13 en-suite bedrooms, each uniquely sized due to the building's 300-year-old architecture, with Superior rooms featuring Sealy super king-sized beds and seating areas. Four rooms overlook Market Square, while others provide courtyard views. LB's Pizza House and Casa's Sports Bar, located on-site, serve stonebaked Italian-style pizzas and broadcast major sporting events.

Discounted parking is offered at the nearby Central Car Park (CA12 5DF). A complimentary breakfast includes options like toasted tea cakes or hot cross buns, depending on the season.

Dogs are welcome in most rooms and public spaces, with provided beds and bowls.
LB's Pizza House offers stonebaked pizzas with homemade tomato sauce and mozzarella.

“The Kings Arms Hotel sits squarely in the heart of Keswick, making it an ideal base. I found the rooms well-appointed and comfortable, especially the beds, and the staff genuinely friendly and helpful. The breakfast is a standout feature, and though parking requires using the central car park, the hotel manages the payment, simplifying the process.”
