It’s a lovely spot with a fantastic view and a welcoming host. The breakfast was delicious, and the fireplace adds a cosy touch. Just keep in mind that being an older English house, it might not be as spotless as some other places.

This is without any doubt or fear of contradiction The finest b and b in the whole of the Lake district You must visit This Period farm house dates back to 1550. The gardens are to die for attracting all types of birds and mammals It's a hoot watching the farms chickens Compete with nature. 😀 The house it's self has a dining room lounge for guests with plenty of seats and a beautiful open fire The decor is period and very tastefuly Presented I stayed in the double room with ensuit Beautiful views from the window seat to the garden and bassenthwaite lake beyond I slept like a log ...in a very comfortable and warm bed ... Mrs Lockwood is the perfect host with decades of experience And is a brilliant cook she goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome with bakes and plenty of drinks Breakfast was a delight with a great deal of choice This is a staggering property in a beautiful part of the lakes You must visit ...... .

The house is in a beautiful location and we were greeted by Alfie. We were made welcome from the very beginning and looked after well. Our twin room was perfect with amazing views. We were recommended a walk to the lake and took a picnic, beautiful scenery and incredibly relaxing. A must do! We were provided with a delicious cooked breakfast and fresh bread. We will absolutely be visiting again and we wished we’d stayed longer than 1 night.

This is a delightful property with a lovely host.
It isn’t anything flash but if you’re looking for quaint and original then this is perfect. It is an older house so has the creaky floor boards and matching decor.
Bathroom is clean and newer. Slices were provided on arrival and a beautiful English breakfast included the next morning.
Was able to go for walk down to the nearby lake and take in the surrounding beauty. Would be a great place to base yourself for exploring the lakes district further.

Great b and b near K
A very pleasant establishment just outside Keswick. Free parking and local bus stop. Room is in a really old terrace cottage full of character. The proprietor had a roaring fire going and she offered some homemade cafe to have with a brew. Breakfast was great - the eggs were fresh and provided by the hens in the garden. Can't wait to go back
