Really excellent stay
Really enjoyed our trip. Very welcoming and friendly hosts. The room was very well appointed and the breakfasts were second to none. It’s a perfect location just a few minutes from the main High Street. I’d fully recommend and I’ll definitely stay again.

An excellent Keswick Guesthouse
This is a great guesthouse in the centre of Keswick, an ideal location with access to all the walks direct from the doorstep.
I had an excellent stay with the highlights being a friendly and attentive host, super clean room with a comfortable bed (big plus after a day out walking) and an awesome breakfast with loads of options.
Highly recommend if you’re looking at visiting the area :)
