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!

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!

Rivendell Guest House is a Victorian townhouse, built in 1894, offering a drying room and bike storage. It is situated 350 metres from Keswick town centre and Fitz Park, within the Lake District National Park.

Artful full English breakfast. You will be asked if you would like the black pudding, and you should say yes. Keswick seems to have a lot of similar B-n-B operations going. I can think of no reason to look further. Lovely hosts.

    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.

    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!
