Owned and run by the Edwards family for almost 20 years Acorn House provides the perfect “home from home” experience when visiting the beautiful town of Keswick.

The bed was comfortable. Very well laid out room. Quiet part of town. Short walk to explore the town. Breakfast choices were very nice including options for gluten free. Our hosts were very nice and helpful with suggestions.

Rickerby Grange offers accommodations with free WiFi in Keswick, located conveniently a 20-minute walk from Theater by the Lake.

We loved the stay. 4.5/5. Would have given a solid 5* if there was a cupboard in the room. But it was never a bother or anything. But I expected one.

Located 4 minutes' walk from Keswick's Market Square, The Edwardene is an award-winning guest house offering free WiFi and on-street parking.

So much character and a lot of thought put into this place. Even the poem a day book in the hallway! What a lovely thought. I only encountered staff upon check out and they seemed absolutely delightful. I stayed in a single room and it was perfectly cosy and comfortable. The toiletries were luxurious and you can even buy them if you want to. They smelt soo good and if I wasn’t traveling light I’d have been very tempted. Very looked after hotel :)

    Beautiful hotel in a great location. Rooms are super comfortable. WiFi is great (no signal there at all). Stunning scenery. Dinner was great - it’s a fixed menu but was lovely and great value (£35 per head for 3 courses).

    We loved Glaramara. The staff were professional, proactive, self-starters and charming with it. Rooms were cosy, modern and well appointed for plugs/USBS and lighting etc. Food was great and most of all the fresh vegetables in good quantities a rare treat. The owner is clearly very hands on keeping check and running the hotel with energy and passion

    Great location, 1 mile from Scafell pike so can walk there. Food was very good. Room was clean, tidy and modern. Nice log burner with sofas to relax on, looking out onto the hills, after a long day hiking. Would stop here again definitely. Thanks

    This small hotel is comfortable, warm and friendly. The relaxed vibe is supported by the quiet efficiency of the owner and staff. Everything we needed was catered for. The breakfasts were delicious. We couldn’t stay for evening meals this visit but the other visitors were very complimentary. Will definitely return.
