Set in Keswick and only 5.8 km from Derwentwater, Dalegarth Guesthouse Portinscale offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated guest house is located 14 km from Buttermere and 35 km from Askham Hall. Guests can make use of a garden.

An absolute little gem of a place!! Well where to start.. when I say this is an absolute little gem I really mean it, and that is all down to Clare and Craig who run the place to absolute perfection! They really put everything into making sure that their guests are well looked after and that nothing is too much trouble. Firstly, ahead of arrival, you get a link to a web page (the guidebook) with all the information on that you could possibly need during your stay; from check in and out procedures, to local information on eating out, car parking, walking, shopping, activities, to everything and anything else in-between! I loved this! The area is beautiful, with gorgeous views from the house and the village is so peaceful. Just far enough away from Keswick but close enough to get to easily and enjoy the town. We really love Keswick anyway, and Derwentwater too, so the location is just perfect for us! On arrival we were met by Craig who directed us to our parking spot and offered us help with our bags if it was needed. We then headed around to the house and met Clare, whom showed us around. There's a lovely lounge area to relax in, and a bar where you can get a drink on an evening if you wish to. There is tea and coffee in each room with UHT milks, but what I loved was that fresh milk is available as needed too - you just take a little jug to your room from the milk in the fridge! There's also other drinks like hot chocolate, fruit teas, decaf drinks here to help yourself to. The room was lovely and really clean, with comfortable beds too. Smart TV in the room and free WIFI access were a bonus, although we didn't waste much time with technology! If you want any advice or tips on where to go or what to do, don't hesitate to ask Craig - he's full of information and more than happy to help! Clare's cooking skills are amazing too! Her flapjack is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts - set us up well for our days out!

Offering river views, Babbling Brook Guesthouse is an accommodation situated in Keswick, 3.4 km from Derwentwater and 17 km from Buttermere. Each accommodation at the 3-star guest house has mountain views and free WiFi. Guests can access the guest house via private entrance.

Honestly one of the nicest places we stayed in. Everything was perfect! Location was spot on, breakfast was fab and Carol was an amazing host. We were quite late arriving on our first night due to traffic delays but Carol was still around in the evening to check us in and let us know where everything was etc. The location is a short walk from Keswick centre and perfectly located to major roads if driving to any local hikes etc. Couldn't recommend this place enough and will definitely be coming back!

Food was good, people were lovely, room was comfortable with a nice shower. Location was very convenient. We were concerned about having to rely on onstreet parking but it was not a problem at all.

    We had a delightful stay at the Beckside Guest house. Tracey was a lovely and welcoming host. Our room was really tidy and had a wonderful mountain view. The breakfast had fresh fruits and multiple choices of warm dishes. We were extra delighted for the vegetarian breakfast options. Plenty of fee parking near the guest house!

    Great location, quiet but close to the town centre. Excellent facilites with complimentary coffee, teas and homemade cake in the cosy common room. I had a single room which I found vey comfy and roomy. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and our hosts, Nicky and Paul, were very accommodating, friendly and helpful. I had a fantastic time at their guest house; I would highly recommend it and I'll try to stay there again in future visits!

    A thoroughly enjoyable stay at this beautiful, well situated guesthouse. Chris and Liz were great hosts friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast in the morning was fabulous - a real plus! There was a great choice, and everything was cooked to perfection. Goodwin House is 5 minutes walk from the centre of keswick but the road itself is so quiet - perfect!
