Company information

After enjoying successful careers in hospitality and IT, we wanted to do something completely different and bought Brierholme Guest House in Keswick. It has lived up to all our expectations. We love meeting visitors from around the UK and from overseas. We are starting to take up fell walking and can't wait to enjoy the many fells surrounding Keswick. John grew up in the area, so has lots of local knowledge which he loves sharing with our guests.

Property information

Brierholme is just a few minutes' level walk from the centre of the delightful market town of Keswick, yet located in a quiet position. We also have parking for one car per room and guests love the fact that they can leave their car and walk to all the bars, cafes and attractions of Keswick. Lake Derwentwater is one of the most scenic in the Lake District and, from Brierholme, you can walk to the lake shore in just a 10-15 minute stroll through town. If walking on the high fells is not for you, then a walk round Derwentwater is an ideal low level walk of about 8-9 miles. Guests also love the fact that all our rooms are en suite and have splendid views of the Lake District fells.

Neighbourhood information

Keswick is a wonderful market town that has something for everyone. We are surrounded by some of the UK’s finest scenery, ideal for walkers, cyclists, watersports enthusiasts, photographers and nature lovers, or those who just want to wind down and relax. The town is well known for its vast selection of independent shops. It also has some good bars, cafes and restaurants.
