    There was nothing we didn’t like.

    The property was in a stunning location, within walking distance from local pubs and restaurants. Short bus ride or car journey into Keswick. The guest house was immaculate, Phil the owner was friendly and very helpful with advice about the local area. Breakfast was very organised with you making the selection the night before so it was served in a timely manner in the morning, there was a good selection and it was delicious. Thank you, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Perfect location, near to all the beautiful locations of Buttermere, Grasmere and Windermere. The Guest House has magnificent gardens with stunning views, near to Keswick itself, which is also a wonderful town to explore. Our rooms were refreshed and cleaned every day. Breakfast was an absolute treat- all the food was fresh and cooked as required. Tea and homemade shortbread greeted us as we arrived after a long travel day. Phil was so knowledgeable about the area and he was so willing to give suggestions about travel destinations and opportunities; a great conversationalist. We loved the guest house, so enjoyed meeting Phil, and his wife Helen, and we would definitely stay they again if we traveled to the UK in the future. The Lakes District is breathtakingly beautiful! I hope we can travel there again!
