Really good bed and breakfast. Everything is perfect, into detail. Nothing is out of place. Nice bedroom with ensuite and small pack of toiletries. As much coffee, milk and sugar as you need. Incredible breakfast which you order the night before. Nobody is in reception but you feel comfortable as everything is easy. Parking spaces in the front door. I really recommend this place if you like to stay near Keswick.

Only stayed one night, but was impressed by the place. Room was clean and fresh but a little dated and needed a bit of TLC in places. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they were great at catering for me as I am gluten free and even I managed to have a full English breakfast . The location was brilliant for us as we didn't want right in the centre of Keswick, very quite and a peaceful nights sleep. Would definitely go again if up that way.
