    While clean and functional, the bathroom could be described as compact. OK for us, but I can imagine larger people having some issues.

    Location was good; a short walk into Keswick and nice views of the hills. Accommodation was clean and tidy. The drying rack was a thoughtful addition for wet hiking clothes. Breakfast was excellent!

    Could not fault anything.

    A lovely BnB. We were warmly greeted by Sharon who was the perfect host, nothing was too much trouble, even went out of her way to phone us whilst we were en route to warn us of a road closure. Perfectly situated to get to Keswick town, about a pleasant 20 minute walk. Rooms were warm and exceptionally clean and tidy, we felt very at home. Lots of nice walks on the doorstep which Sharon helped us plan with great advice. Breakfast was really tasty, freshly cooked and plentiful. We would not hesitate to stay here again, highly recommended.

    Having to leave.xx

    Firstly, such a warm welcome from Sharon the owner. We stayed in room2 which had a lovely bay window, sofa and was beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean. The little touches like toiletries, heated towel rail , tea & coffee making accessories. The cooked breakfast was first class & Sharon's homemade jams were delicious. My favourite was the porridge, Sharon made it just the way I like it. The location was about 1 mile walk into the town of Keswick. Just nice to walk off your breakfast or walking back after your evening meal. Last but not least & most important, The Bed!!! Sooooooooo Comfortable with lovely cotton crisp white bedding. Snoozzzzzzzzz..... Thanks Sharon for such a wonderful stay. Karen & Paul.😘🌷

    Not a real complaint, we picked the small room, and it was small. Being from the States we naturally assume large "small rooms" but we knew better from a London stay years prior that small can be really small, as in bedsize. This room was bigger than that.

    Order made breakfast from a selection, very filling and delicious. Everything from the porridge to the special waffles was excellent. Sharon was an outstanding host who would not leave us wanting for anything. Sharon also provided all kinds of suggestions about seeing the local sights, and dining options.

    Very well furnished and had a lovely feel to the bed and breakfast. Sharon was very conscientious and made you feel welcome. The best breakfast with home made products which were delicious. The bedroom was on the small side but we had a late booking. However it had everything needed to have a comfortable stay.

    Can't really fault anything about the property or host. Only minor suggestion would be to have a water carafe/glasses in the room

    My husband, mother in law, friend and I booked three rooms at Burnside. All the rooms were immaculate, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Our bed was like sleeping on a cloud! The rooms did face the road but we didn't find it noisy at night. Sharon the owner was fantastic- very friendly and gave such a warm welcome. The breakfasts were superb and plentiful with wonderful little touches like homemade jams

    None.

    Beautiful English charm. Our girls took the bigger room and we took the smaller one with a great sunset view. I could sit by the window all evening to watch the sunset and catch up with work till 10pm since it is summer time. Glad we stayed slightly away from the town as it gives us the opportunity to do more walks to town and to the lake. Sharon is really helpful and recommend places we could visit around Keswick. We came with little preparation and that helps a lot. Peter had so much to share with my husband about football as they were both Man U fans. Oh and I must definitely talk about the amazing breakfast. So sumptuous and lots of variety to choose from.

    Road was quite busy so could be noisy with the window open. Soon got used to it though.

    The location was excellent, a 10 minute walk to the town. Breakfast was excellent with a good selection of cereal and cooked food. Sharon makes the best waffles and pancakes.
