Beautiful little hotel with stunning grounds. The staff were fabulous! Charlie, Brett, Andrea and of course Andy the chef. All couldn't do enough for us and were so accommodating. Honestly one of the best places I've stayed in a long time and the food was just exceptional.

The Haven, hotel in Bassenthwaite Lake

Located in Keswick and only 9.1 km from Derwentwater, The Haven provides accommodation with lake views, free WiFi and free private parking. With garden views, this accommodation offers a patio.

The location is beautiful. It is a private area, but also not too far from the centre of Keswick, probably a 10 minute drive and the most. If planning to get a taxi use the recommended local taxi drivers on Google as there is no Uber. Taxi to the centre should cost around £10. The house was very clean, had plenty of utensils and cutlery and little touches such as salt, pepper, oil, tea, coffee and hot chocolate were welcome additions that you do not get anywhere.

    Karen and Tim are the perfect, welcoming hosts and the guest house is completely charming. Greeted with a pot of tea and ginger cake on arrival, the standard of guest care never wavered. Breakfast is an event and the best we’ve had in our many weeks of travel. We booked the guest house based on the strength of its reviews and I’m pleased to say they were completely accurate.

    The perfect cosy b&b! Room was clean, spacious and well decorated. Views were sunning and you are basically on the lake, so many sights and amenities close by. Breakfast was to die for, don’t know how I’ll cope without it! So filling and delicious. There is a huge variety of options- all wonderful. The hosts are so lovely and welcoming with nothing too much trouble. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know!

    Comfortable place to come back to after a long day out, the cottage was clean and warm and very pretty too. Right on Bassenthwaite lake it is just off the main road so a convenient place to get around the lake District from. Hosts were very accommodating and make a lovely breakfast

    The cottage was perfect. Very well equipped, nice decoration, comfy sofas and bed. In general it felt cozy, homey and beautiful. We loved it. Tim and Karen, the hosts, went the extra mile for everything and we felt more guests than clients. They really are the best hosts ever.
