Ben cooks wonderful breakfasts and they are both so accommodating (anything you want, they're willing to try!). Of the 3 weeks we have spent traveling, this was by far the best place and experience! Fiona had great suggestions for what to do around town, got us discounts for a boat tour (highly recommend), Ben got us a coupon for free coffees (we bought a great scone!) and overall they provided top notch 5-star service. Lastly, it was my birthday on our last morning there and they decorated the dining room and made a sticky ginger cake and sang happy birthday to me. Such a wonderful memory! I can't wait to return. They are such a treasure in our world and I'm lucky to have met them.

Delkeith is a delightful family run B&B in the heart of keswick surrounded by rolling hills and only a couple of minutes walk to the town. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Our bedroom was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, and the homemade flapjack left in our room was a beautiful touch. A fabulous stay, and we would definitely visit again.

Breakfast was amazing. Lovely fresh fruit salad followed by huge cooked breakfast. As a previous review mentioned-the best black pudding! Cereal and yoghurt were provided for those who could fit it in. It was easy to walk into town and down to the lake from the property. My room was a very spacious single-much roomier than others I have stayed in. Anne and Paul were great hosts and I appreciated a late checkout to fit in with my travel plans.

Set in Keswick, 1 km from Derwentwater and 8 km from Cat Bells, Allerdale Guest House provides free WiFi.

Whinlatter Forest Park is 9 km from Allerdale Guest House, while Theatre by the Lake is 1 km away.

Mat and Leigh were the loveliest hosts, they were so helpful with recommendations for walks around Keswick (and even printed off maps and everything!) and things to go/places to eat in the area. The homemade bakes were delicious and I loved the traditional date loaf I had on my last day in particular! Breakfast was amazing with plenty of alternative options apart from the standard full English (which was also really good), I especially enjoyed the salmon breakfast. The guesthouse was perfectly located, close to town and also a good starting place for various walks around Keswick, which is such a beautiful place. It's the perfect base for someone who wants to visit the Lake district but doesn't/can't drive, there are so many places you can go and walks you can do without a car (and there's always the Launch if you get too tired). My room was lovely, a great place to rest and recover after a long day walking. The bed was also very comfy! Thank you, I had the best time and I hope to be back again soon!

    The guest house is located in a beautiful spot, on a little hill. It's close to the pub and also there is a bus that goes to Keswick. The location is perfect. Emma is a great host. She literally thought about everything! There was even a dry cupboard to dry our hiking clothes wnd dry boots. Highly recommended, we would stay again.

    Great location - close to town but quiet. Spotlessly clean and comfortable rooms. Really nice breakfast, lots of choice and plenty of food. Hosts were really friendly and couldn't be more helpful. The bathroom had an amazing view of the mountains.

    We had a delightful stay at the Beckside Guest house. Tracey was a lovely and welcoming host. Our room was really tidy and had a wonderful mountain view. The breakfast had fresh fruits and multiple choices of warm dishes. We were extra delighted for the vegetarian breakfast options. Plenty of fee parking near the guest house!

    Great location, quiet but close to the town centre. Excellent facilites with complimentary coffee, teas and homemade cake in the cosy common room. I had a single room which I found vey comfy and roomy. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and our hosts, Nicky and Paul, were very accommodating, friendly and helpful. I had a fantastic time at their guest house; I would highly recommend it and I'll try to stay there again in future visits!

    A thoroughly enjoyable stay at this beautiful, well situated guesthouse. Chris and Liz were great hosts friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast in the morning was fabulous - a real plus! There was a great choice, and everything was cooked to perfection. Goodwin House is 5 minutes walk from the centre of keswick but the road itself is so quiet - perfect!

    lovely guesthouse with great hosts Colin & Sarah. Very clean and comfortable with lots of nice touches. Homemade cake on offer with the option to give a donation to mountain rescue. tea/coffee facilities in room with fresh milk and bottled water available from fridge or hallway. Great choice for breakfast cereal, fresh fruit salad, porridge, full English or selection of eggs on toast. Very close to Keswick town, 5 min walk, couldn’t fault anything
