A really excellent and lovely little guesthouse on the outskirts of Keswick, It's excellently located, right next to a former railway line that provides a useful shortcut into town, and within walking distance of Skiddaw, Blencathra, and Derwentwater. The room was clean with good facilities, and breakfast was always delicious and filling. Gary and Sue, the owners, were extremely approachable and knowledgeable about the local area, and gave me some great advice about how to get the most out of my stay. They also went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and welcome -- for instance by letting me put some wet clothes in their boiler room to dry off, and lending me an umbrella.

I think the advert suggested that they offer packed lunches for walkers. Technically this is true but they don't do it as standard anymore. However, the reason for that is because you can buy a lunch 'meal deal' from the nearby Spar at the petrol station, which is only 5-10 minutes walk away, and save money based on what they'd have to charge you.

Self check- in was easy and the apartment we stayed in with our 2 dogs, was spacious and well equipped, the zip and link bed was huge and extremely comfortable, with lovely plump pillows and also memory foam pillows. We had a full size dishwasher, microwave and full size fridge in the kitchen area and also 2 large tvs in the room, one in front of a 2 seater settee, the other to watch in bed. There was also a beautiful en suite bathroom and plenty of white fluffy towels supplied, you could also have your room cleaned daily if required, there are 2 campsites but it was still very peaceful, we had a wonderful stay.

The venue itself as you pull up is lovely. Very quiet and peaceful. We had a drink in the bar area which was really nice and our room was really good. Expected a pull out bed but it was a full size single which was really comfortable. The room was well equipped and was above my expectations for what I paid.

Everything was great. If I had to pick one thing the bar service was a little slow but I wasn't in any rush and was just enjoying a leisurely drink anyway.

Super clean. Nice outdoor space although not private as overlooked by several houses. Kitchenette was useful. Lovely light & quiet room.

Very small shower & tiny sink could only wash hands in. Described as apartment when a studio room. Enough facilities for b/fast & snacks. No space to prep a meal. Only heat up food. Very early check out with no flexibility.

Looking forward to a VERY special experience due to the price, BUT it was just OK! We stayed a 7 different places over our week away - this was by far the most expensive! But it was the worst value for money - we stayed a places for half the price that were better. We were fine paying the money, but in return had hoped for something really special, and it wasn't
