A truly lovely couple Linda and Stephen made every effort to make the couple of nights stayed a genuine treat. Accommodation and facilities were superb and the overall feeling you are left with is one of wanting to return sometime soon. A pleasure in many ways. Plus the new showers were superb.

Stayed 3rd & 4th May 2013 - Stephen and Linda are so nice and welcoming, I honestly cannot recommend this place enough. All other B&B's I've stayed at come nowhere near the quality of this. The rooms are so immaculate it looks like we were the first guests to stay in them! Breakfast was fantastic - Stephens cooked breakfast is... More

We stayed for 2 nights at Avondale whilst doing the coast to coast bike ride. I cannot recommend it enough. The owners Linda and Stephen made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. The rooms are spotless, modern, well decorated whilst also keeping the traditional feel of a guesthouse. The shower was great and just... More

If your thinking of staying in Keswick this is the best place to stay. It is immaculately clean, very comfortable, and Stephens breakfast (which are gorgeous! a must to try is scrambled egg and smoked salmon on toasted granary bread.) are just what you need before setting out on a days walking. Stephen and Linda are the perfect hosts and... More

Thank you for all the compliments, they're much appreciated. It was fabulous to see you both once more and even better that you managed to bring Tania again. Tell her we'll make sure the American pancakes are still on the menu for her next visit. Don't know about the smoked salmon though. Ha ha, just kidding! :-) We hope you... More

Thank you once more for such a glowing review. It was lovely to see you again and we're really happy that you enjoyed your stay as much as before. Our vegetarian breakfasts certainly do seem to go down well. We reckon that they're probably the biggest in Keswick! Hope to see you later in the year. More

We were travelling back from a wedding in Scotland in February when we decided to stay the night in Keswick on impulse. We actually booked a room from a layby outside town and arrived about 30 mins later. As soon as we stepped through the door we knew that we had made the right decision. I can only echo the... More
