The owners couldn't do enough to make us welcome and comfortable. They seem to have anticipated our every need and provided accommodation which was furnished and decorated to a high standard. The breakfast menu was extensive, generous and delicious. The location is perfect for a break in Keswick and within a very short walk from the centre of town, the theatre, the lake and the bus station. We are regular visitors to Keswick and Dunsford is the best bed and breakfast accommodation we have found. Already booked to return next year.

Lambourn United Kingdom

The guesthouse is situated in the heart of Keswick. Deb and Keith were wonderful hosts. They were friendly, full of local knowledge and breakfast was amazing. We can’t wait to come back.

Lauren United Kingdom

Deb and Keith were great hosts. They were extremely welcoming and helpful with local recommendations. Tasty breakfast with plenty on offer. Parking available around the back. Great value for money. Walking distance to Derwent water and local pubs/restaurants. Would definitely return to explore more of the area.

Alex United Kingdom

The breakfast was gorgeous, lots of choice. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Very clean and extremely good for such a good price.

Laura United Kingdom

Stay at Dunsford and you are welcomed as if you are one of the family. Your hosts are always on hand with everything taken care of, from the excellent breakfast, advice on local attractions, walks, bike rides, and extras for the room such as fans for hot weather, I even got a lovely birthday surprise! The location is perfect for Keswick town and as a base for walks etc nearby. Parking is ok on the quiet street and private parking also available around the back. We will be looking here for availability on our next trip!
