Set in Keswick and only 5.8 km from Derwentwater, Dalegarth Guesthouse Portinscale offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated guest house is located 14 km from Buttermere and 35 km from Askham Hall. Guests can make use of a garden.

An absolute little gem of a place!! Well where to start.. when I say this is an absolute little gem I really mean it, and that is all down to Clare and Craig who run the place to absolute perfection! They really put everything into making sure that their guests are well looked after and that nothing is too much trouble. Firstly, ahead of arrival, you get a link to a web page (the guidebook) with all the information on that you could possibly need during your stay; from check in and out procedures, to local information on eating out, car parking, walking, shopping, activities, to everything and anything else in-between! I loved this! The area is beautiful, with gorgeous views from the house and the village is so peaceful. Just far enough away from Keswick but close enough to get to easily and enjoy the town. We really love Keswick anyway, and Derwentwater too, so the location is just perfect for us! On arrival we were met by Craig who directed us to our parking spot and offered us help with our bags if it was needed. We then headed around to the house and met Clare, whom showed us around. There's a lovely lounge area to relax in, and a bar where you can get a drink on an evening if you wish to. There is tea and coffee in each room with UHT milks, but what I loved was that fresh milk is available as needed too - you just take a little jug to your room from the milk in the fridge! There's also other drinks like hot chocolate, fruit teas, decaf drinks here to help yourself to. The room was lovely and really clean, with comfortable beds too. Smart TV in the room and free WIFI access were a bonus, although we didn't waste much time with technology! If you want any advice or tips on where to go or what to do, don't hesitate to ask Craig - he's full of information and more than happy to help! Clare's cooking skills are amazing too! Her flapjack is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts - set us up well for our days out!

Boasting a shared lounge and views of mountain, Fern Howe Guest House is a recently renovated guest house situated in Keswick, 7.2 km from Derwentwater. The property has garden and inner courtyard views, and is 13 km from Buttermere. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

The guest house is very well-located for those who want to go on hikes E.g. Grisdale Pike just behind the village. Or, it takes 3-5 minutes to walk to the bus stop then 8-10 mins to the bus station in Keswick from where you can take another bus to go where you want . You can, e.g. enjoy Grasmere and Woodsworth´s Dove Cottage- 30 mins by bus from Keswick. Those who want to use their cars will be faster, however, concentrating on your steering wheel and gear change you will not enjoy the stunning scenery that much.

    We had a delightful stay at the Beckside Guest house. Tracey was a lovely and welcoming host. Our room was really tidy and had a wonderful mountain view. The breakfast had fresh fruits and multiple choices of warm dishes. We were extra delighted for the vegetarian breakfast options. Plenty of fee parking near the guest house!

    A thoroughly enjoyable stay at this beautiful, well situated guesthouse. Chris and Liz were great hosts friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast in the morning was fabulous - a real plus! There was a great choice, and everything was cooked to perfection. Goodwin House is 5 minutes walk from the centre of keswick but the road itself is so quiet - perfect!
