- Defty (9/5): -
- Peter (10/5): Character, Comfort and Convenience - Acorn House has so much character, having historical significance with the town. It is a guest house, with independent rooms but a shared guest lounge and dining room. The rooms and beds are very comfortable, and the breakfast made to order and wonderful. Off street parking is provided free of charge, in a town where parking is at a premium, and the town centre is only a couple of minutes walk down the street. We even walked to the lake and the stone circle. The hosts are warm and welcoming too, just adding to the charm of the place
- sylvia (9/5): Holiday in Keswick. - Quiet and peaceful area near to the town centre. Excellent breakfast. The owner's were pleasant and friendly. Bathroom was a bit on the small side but was very clean and met all our needs.

- Jan (6/5): Comfortable, well located but lacking the personal touch. - Good central location but still quiet. Great location for overnight stop on Cumbria Way. Key box and code check in - very efficient but very impersonal.
Breakfast ordering by text - no personal interaction. The responses were quick but impersonal.
I missed the personal touch of talking to a real person

The staff are lovely and clearly accommodate their guests well. We arrived early and it was no problem to park up and check in at midday. We were really thankful for this. There's nothing to dislike at this place, everything is perfect for a visit to the Lakes!

Clean place and well located for the town
Easy parking The bed mattress was a bit lumpy so we didn’t sleep too well
- Lenka (10/5): Welcoming and comfortable - Great location, comfortable bed, and excellent breakfast. Clean and welcoming place. The radiator in the room couldn't be turned down, so the first night was very hot in the room, even with the window open.
- Kevin (8/5): - Comfortable room and central location Felt it was a little overpriced, and the promised 'award winning' breakfast was underwhelming.

- Linda (10/5): Another wonderful stay at the Acorn House. Thank you! - We have stayed at Acorn House several times because it is walking distance to Theatre by the Lake, town, Museums, and the bus station. We like the friendly hosts, the delicious breakfasts, everything about the place.
- Ian (9/5): Perfect for a short or long stop over with everything you need from hotel position to parking. - Position to Keswick and walking in to the town was minutes. Perfect position. The on site parking was a bonus that is a real help staying over as parking can be at a premium.
Breakfast was excellent.

- Tina (10/5): -
- Maggs (8/5): - The room was lovely and very comfortable and quiet. The bed was so comfy but could do with firmer pillows as difficult to get comfy reading my book sitting up, with the type of headboard being metal slats
The breakfast was very tasty but strangely no sweeteners available. The shower was roomy but the floor of the shower was very slippy once using the shower gel. Could do with a non slip base and/ or a grab rail.
There was also quite a lot of black mildew trpe spots around the bottom of the shower

- Nichola (5/5): Clean, close but old fashioned - Good location, parking and the breakfast was lovely. It was very old fashioned. The shower head wouldn’t stay up and kept moving across the shower. There was black mould under the soap tray. The chairs facing the bed were unsettling.

- Adrian (10/5): Great location, lovely rooms and the most amazing breakfast. A first class place to stay. - Friendly welcome, warm house and room was nice after returning from a long walk. Our room had the most amazing shower. The breakfast was the star of the stay. Locally sourced, great choice and cheerful team left nothing wanted. Only staying for one night, I wish we could have stayed longer.
- Terence (10/5): Weekend away. - Location. Ideally located for Keswick and surrounding areas! Short walk into Keswick Town Square. Very quiet considering the approximation.. Ample parking which is a bonus, Janet and Chris allowed us to book in early which gave us basically all day to spend in Keswick. We really appreciated that gesture! Acorn House is traditional and very comfortable. Rooms are well kept and have everything one could possibly require. Breakfast is excellent with plenty of choice. Checking in/ out is most pleasant and help is on hand with cases bags etc.. There is nothing that is too much trouble. Couldn't ask for any more!! Terence is nothing i/we didn't like...

Great breakfast, really friendly staff.
Nice and warm.
Comfortable bed, but duvet was far too heavy. We had a room in the roof space, so it felt small with a sloping ceiling. My husband kept hitting his head. The window was high so you couldn't see outside.
The bathroom was small with only a small shelf for your toiletries. Also very dark in there. Shower didn't have much pressure

- Alexandru (10/5): -
- Martin (10/5): Lovely hotel - Good location for getting into Keswick, on site parking and one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while.
Very friendly atmosphere and staff who are very attentive. Our room was in the top of the hotel (which we knew when we booked) and had a roof light. We had heavy rain during the night which was loud on the roof. Wouldn't have been a problem if the weather was dry.
Try to get a room on the lower floors if available.
- Liz (10/5): Ideal accommodation in Keswick - Super friendly staff and comfortable accommodation. Very handy for the centre of Keswick while being tucked away in a nice, quiet corner of the town. Delicious breakfast.
