Keswick Hotel, adjacent to the station, was in the CK&P plans from the outset. It served as the station hotel although it was owned by a separate company headed by the CK&P Chairman. This view on 9 May 2009 is south-eastwards across the station forecourt. The frontage of the station building is to the left, off the photograph. During World War 2 the hotel and some rooms in the station itself were used by Roedean School when its staff and girls were evacuated here from the Sussex coast.

Keswick station looking north-west in August 2019. As the trees along the platform edge have grown they now obscure much of the platform from the 4-mile long Lake District National Park footpath that follows the railway through the station site.

The area beneath the canopy is now part of the Keswick Hotel, seen in August 2019. A replica totem sign is seen.
