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!

Set in Keswick, 1 km from Derwentwater and 8 km from Cat Bells, Allerdale Guest House provides free WiFi.

Whinlatter Forest Park is 9 km from Allerdale Guest House, while Theatre by the Lake is 1 km away.

Mat and Leigh were the loveliest hosts, they were so helpful with recommendations for walks around Keswick (and even printed off maps and everything!) and things to go/places to eat in the area. The homemade bakes were delicious and I loved the traditional date loaf I had on my last day in particular! Breakfast was amazing with plenty of alternative options apart from the standard full English (which was also really good), I especially enjoyed the salmon breakfast. The guesthouse was perfectly located, close to town and also a good starting place for various walks around Keswick, which is such a beautiful place. It's the perfect base for someone who wants to visit the Lake district but doesn't/can't drive, there are so many places you can go and walks you can do without a car (and there's always the Launch if you get too tired). My room was lovely, a great place to rest and recover after a long day walking. The bed was also very comfy! Thank you, I had the best time and I hope to be back again soon!

    Absolutely lovely room in a great location too (we had hiked in Buttermere in the day with only a 20 minute drive to the guest house). The hosts were wonderful and provided helpful advice about the surrounding location. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

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!
