Our visit was due to local family illness! However, our initial reception was most friendly and most informative! Our room was excellent and our breakfast superb! A well run establishment that is a credit to Peter and Katie. Thank you both! P&P M!

Lovely place to stay
We had a fantastic 2 night stay here. The couple who own it are lovely and very friendly. The room was a good size, clean, bright & airy and we had a beautiful view looking out towards the mountains. Breakfast was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble for this couple.

Friendly hosts, delicious breakfast, lovely stay
We had a lovely stay, Pete and Katie were very friendly and the house is beautiful. The room was clean and comfortable with everything we needed and in the mornings we enjoyed delicious breakfasts with a beautiful view. We chose to stay at Link House as we were going to the Lakes Distillery and it is easily walkable from the guest house. It’s a little too far away from Keswick or cockermouth to walk into town for dinner but if you don’t want to drive there is the x5 bus which we used to go to Keswick and it stops right outside the guesthouse.

Great B&B
Lovely B&B near to Bassenthwaite Lake and the new Lakes Distillery. With a frequent bus route and good access to the A66 it is very easy to get around the Lakes from the Link House. We were down for a mid-week break and were made to feel very welcome by Peter and Katie. Our room was spacious and clean with views across to Skiddaw. A good selection for every taste at breakfast. Within walking distance is the Pheasant Inn if you don't want to drive for Lunch/Dinner which has a very good menu. Overall we were very happy with our stay. Thank you.
