Lovely friendly people, lots of info, easy walk into town, great breakfast and dog friendly
United KingdomThe stay was very enjoyable. The owners were very welcoming and check in was simple. Rooms are adequately sized with modern on suites and big tvs. Tea/ coffee making facilities were useful. Our room had a pretty decent view. Breakfast was included and was pretty tasty and kept us going till lunch. Reasonably easy access to Keswick via old train line. 15-20 minute walk. Price was competitive for time of year.

United KingdomSet in a Victorian house, Gary and Sue provide excellent hospitality and very generous breakfast. Their location is an easy walk into the center of town without being in the center of town.
United States of AmericaGary and his wife are excellent hosts in this clean, comfortable accommodation. It is quiet and within a 15 walk from the town square. Hiking is close by. Breakfasts are generous and can cater to special eating needs, in my case, nondairy. We enjoyed our stay.
