Property information

Dalegarth Guesthouse Portinscale is family run. Located in the quiet village of Portinscale, we are only a one-mile drive or stroll to Keswick. The walk into Keswick takes between 15-20minutes and is flat, on a good path and away from the road and also has great views of the Coledale Horseshoe fells, Catbells and Skiddaw. Being in an elevated position in the village gives us great views of Derwentwater. If you're not lucky enough to have booked one of our four lake view rooms, you can still enjoy the lake views from the dining room and the guest lounge. The house also has stunning views of the surrounding fells across the award-winning garden. We have a large onsite free car park (one car per room) so once you arrive you can choose to leave the car behind and explore on foot, bike, bus or boat. General check-in time is 4 pm-8 pm. Please do not book if you cannot arrive by 8.00pm
