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

Wonderfully charming

Wonderfully charming quaint b&b. Greeted on arrival by the very welcoming host who immediately set the fire away and brought me cake and biscuits, she was very helpful and informative regarding local walks. The property and grounds are superbly maintained and it was so peaceful watching the chickens roaming freely from my bedroom window and listening to the birds.

It was the most beautiful place to stay. Old worldly charm, delicious cooked breakfast and a little plate with cakes when we got back from a day out. There was a cozy open fire to sit and read by and our hostess was friendly and helpful. Would love to return one day.

What a fantastic place to stay! Everything about this place was just brilliant: beautiful old house and garden, sitting room for guests with open fire in the evening, great breakfast, a lovely walk down to the lake, easy to find, a short drive from Keswick, comfortable room, great host, felt welcome and at home. If I get the chance, I will be back.

Wonderful homely stay with instant lakeaide access

Really lovely, welcoming place to stay and a stone's throw from the lake. Loved the cakes on arrival, the lovely fire and breakfast. Perfect for us. Yes, it is particular to the owners, and that's what makes it lovely.

The original house dates back on paper to the 1500's with even original flooring in parts. The gardens and views around the old farmhouse are beautiful. The lady who runs the b&b is lovely and provides a fab breakfast. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely Tudor B&B

The most beautiful place we stayed during our trip to the Lake District and Scotland. It is gorgeous. The grounds are beautiful and the place so historic and lovely. And Karen is so generous and hospitable. We also liked petting Alfie, the rescue dog, when we met him outdoors!

If you love accommodation with a sense of history, this is a gem. Parts are centuries old but now with modern facilities. The setting is gorgeous and the hosts charming. This is an excellent base for seeing the whole of the Lake District. Keswick is a short drive with plenty of eating options but without the intense crowds found in Windermere.
