An excellent Keswick Guesthouse

This is a great guesthouse in the centre of Keswick, an ideal location with access to all the walks direct from the doorstep. I had an excellent stay with the highlights being a friendly and attentive host, super clean room with a comfortable bed (big plus after a day out walking) and an awesome breakfast with loads of options. Highly recommend if you’re looking at visiting the area :)

Top quality B&B

Excellent, high quality B&B. The welcome and check-in set the tone for a first class visit. Our room was spacious, immaculate and comfortable. The breakfast choice was great, really liked the option to have a lighter avocado on sourdough as a change from the full English, which was also lovely! Thank you, we will definitely be back!!

Fantastic Stay

Liz and Chris were fantastic hosts, we had a wonderful stay and the room and bathroom were absolutely spotless. Lovely quality duvet, and fantastic breakfast of yoghurt and fruit, homemade granola, cereals, tea, coffee, toast and local jams, and a full English breakfast. They also offer vegetarian options and avocado and poached egg on toast. The options were vast and high quality. They go above and beyond for guests, and catered specifically to my partner being gluten free by providing gluten free bread and granola at breakfast. We will certainly be back and will be recommending Goodwin House to family and friends. Thank you!
