superb b&b near keswick

convenient locationoff-road parkingvaried breakfastlocal knowledge
I found the location to be very convenient for accessing both the town and nearby walking trails. the off-road parking available was a definite advantage, providing security and ease. breakfast was a real highlight. It offered a wide variety of options beyond the typical fry-up. gary's local knowledge was invaluable. He provided excellent recommendations for walks and scenic drives.
the shower cubicle in my room was somewhat small, though it was functional.

Off-road car parking is available at the rear. This provides secure parking and eliminates parking hassles. the secure parking made day trips very easy. It was a relief to leave the car with no worries.
Rooms

My room included ample tea and coffee making facilities, supporting a relaxing stay. the room was spotlessly clean. Its tidiness was nice, though the bed was a bit small.
Dining

The breakfast included options such as a full english breakfast, porridge, salmon, and kippers. the variety was excellent. I could choose a different breakfast each day, though, sometimes, it was a bit slow.

Sue and Gary had lots of knowledge of the local area! They advised us to catch the boat across to Catbells. They also suggested restaurants we could visit. The B&B was a short walk down the railway track into town.
The room was very small! The shower cubicle was very small too. I think the bed was small and not very comfortable.
