- Brian (10/5): Exceptional - We recently stayed at the Allerdale Guest House for four nights and were made very welcome by our hosts Leigh and Mat. Our bedroom was of a very high standard matched also by the breakfasts which had a wide range of options from an extensive menu. Leigh is particularly knowledgeable about the local area and she was helpful in helping us plan walking routes available in the local fells. The location is quiet although still convenient for Keswick town centre - just a 5 minute walk away. Keswick is a popular destination and the private off street parking available for guests at Allerdale House is a real advantage. Highly recommended. There was nothing we didn't like.

- Claire (10/5): Such a fabulous stay at Allerdale Guest House - The location was perfect. Our hosts were so friendly but at the same time gave us space to relax too.
The breakfasts were superb with plenty of choices if you didn't fancy the full English - loved the fruit pancakes!
Also, their local knowledge to find off the beaten track walks was great. They thought of everything including the paper bags of individual cakes to take on walks.
Thanks for a lovely mini-break. N/A

- Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fran (9/5): We had a delightful stay, and would highly recommend Allerdale. The compact space is made up for by the great attitude - Leigh and Mat are so welcoming and upbeat. Leigh is a fountain of information about the area, hikes, other things to do and see, as well as knowledgeable about directions for getting just about anywhere. There are plenty of breakfast choices for any diet. The facilities are charming, clean and mostly comfortable. Only hang up re the latter was the tiny size of the room. The room was charming but very small and the shower almost impossible for my 6’3” husband to move around in. Also, a minor quibble, but BYO hair conditioner and face cloth.
- Yichun (10/5): Perfect stay in Keswick - Spacious rooms and clean bathroom, well equipped with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.
Great breakfast with different options apart from full English.
Very nice and informative hosts. Nothing
- Brodie (10/5): Perfect property - Amazing decoration and fab staff within a good distance of the town centre Nothing it was perfect

- Michelle (10/5): Fantastic bed and breakfast in the heart of Keswick with fabulous hosts. - Great location. Walking distance to restaurants, lake, shops and attractions. Awesome breakfast cooked to order plus juice, coffee, tea, cereal, fruit and yoghurt. Quiet guesthouse, comfortable bed, very very clean room and property, great shower with good pressure. Tea and coffee in room with kettle and nespresso machine. Friendly, helpful, lovely hosts full of local knowledge and recommendations. Fabulous stay. Definitely recommend. N/A all fabulous.
- David (10/5): Excellent base for visiting the Lakes Distict. - Excellent hosts who provide great accomodation plus all the advice you need for exploring the northern Lakes District. All good
- Paul (10/5): Extremely comfortable and welcoming with superb breakfast. A very relaxing place to stay. - When we arrived Matt was there to greet us, help us with our bags and show us to our room. He also explained the time of the breakfast and asked us to let him know if we wanted anything different to the set menu. Our room was very comfortable, clean and well laid out with a comprehensive information guide and the wifi worked well. The following morning, after a good nights sleep we were greeted by Leigh who was extremely friendly asking what we wanted for breakfast, pointing out the cereal, juice etc. The breakfast was superb, very well cooked, well presented and very tasty. We were staying for the walking and Leigh clearly knows the area offering useful advice about the area and the different fells. She also provided cake each day which was very welcome with our coffee high up on the fells. In the evening it is easy to walk into town for a meal and to find somewhere good with recommendations from Matt and Leigh. As usual it rained on one of our days but it was great having somewhere to hang our wet clothes and leave boots to dry. In summary our stay was very comfortable, the breakfasts were excellent and we were made to feel very welcome, we plan to stay again! Cannot think of anything!
