    A stunning b&b in a quiet part of Portinscale, just 20 minutes walk to Keswick town centre. Debbie was very friendly, informative and cooks a smashing breakfast. I stayed on the top floor with a lovely view. Highly recommended for couples or solo...

    Very clean, great location with beautiful scenery. Close enough to walk the 15 minutes into Keswick or 2 minutes walk to local pub restaurant. Debbie was a great host, nothing was too much trouble. She even prepared a packed lunch for our trip up...
