    The hosts Fiona &Ben were excellent hosts, very helpful, friendly and we will definitely stay here again. The room was perfect and cleaned daily which we didn't expect for a weekend stay. Our breakfast was cooked fresh every morning and served on hot plates which is great, loved our stay at Glencoe guest house.

    Ben & Fiona were very friendly and welcoming. Glencoe is in a great location, literally less than 5 minutes to main square with shops, pubs, restaurants. On street parking was readily available. We stayed in room 3 with a lovely view of Skiddaw. It was immaculately clean, modern decor, crisp bedding, very comfortable. Choice of teas (flavoured, normal) coffee (including de-caff), hot chocolate and biscuits were topped up each day. Great breakfast, lots of choice from the usual English breakfast options with tasty sausage and bacon as well as smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with lighter options if you wanted: cooked fresh. Also available; fruit juices, toast, fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals. Our stay was perfect, excellent value for money, 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend.

    Excellent location just a few minutes walk from the town centre, and finding parking nearby wasn't an issue. Very nice room with plenty of space, good bathroom with great shower, and excellent range of breakfast options. Wifi was reliable, and the area was quiet at night.

    Our room was well appointed, with  quality linens and toiletries, a comfortable bed, and a beautiful view from our window (top floor). Breakfast was delicious, but by far the best thing about Glencoe Guesthouse are the hosts. Ben and Fiona were warm and welcoming, but went far beyond that. Our trip had been somewhat hastily planned, so Ben acted as our unofficial travel guide, giving us advice about walks, things to see, bus routes and transportation, etc., etc. He even helped us sort out our wonky phone.. No doubt about it-- Ben and Fiona made our trip extra special. We'll stay here again when we get to the Lake District.

    The pillows were a bit too soft. It would be good to have a choice of soft and firm pillows to suit all, but this is a minor point.

    Our Hosts were great, very friendly and accommodating and the breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect too.

    Nothing to complain about at all! Just to be aware of the parking- we arrived on Friday afternoon and couldn’t get parked near the guesthouse so had to use a nearby 24 hour car park, that was short walk away.

    Lovely little guesthouse. Spotlessly clean. Room size good with all the facilities you need. Breakfast options great. Couldn’t fault a thing!! Would definitely stay there again 👍

    Can't think of anything

    Breakfast was excellent and set us up for the day. Rooms were very clean and comfortable with a kettle and plenty of tea and coffee. Room also had a plug in fan which was great when the evenings were very warm. Guest house situated on a quiet street, less than 5 minute walk from the centre. Hosts Ben and Fiona were really welcoming and went above and beyond for everyone. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely to meet Dexter the dog also. Would definitely return.

    Nothing! This guest house delivered exactly what it promised.

    Firstly, I haven't stayed in a guest house for many years, always hotels or self-catering apartments, but my recent experience of The Glencoe may have changed that. It is excellent value for money, it's very clean and the breakfast is lovely. The owners (I wish I had asked their names) are genuinely welcoming, hospitable and approachable. The location is a five-minute walk from Keswick town centre, which is a thriving hub, containing restaurants, pubs and lots of small independent shops, galleries etc
