We had a terrific time and once we arrived the area was just breath taking. The host had a fire lit in the lounge and tea was served upon our arrival (it was tea time, you know). The rooms were good and the house was a beautiful Victorian style place. You could walk to the neighbouring hotel for dinner and... More

I can only echo the previous two reviews; it's one of the best B&B's we've ever stayed at! We couldn't fault it, everything was just right. Furthermore, the location is excellent as all the usual attractions of the Lake District are an easy drive. It's also very quiet, being set back some ay from the road. Keep up the good... More

My friend and I decided to enjoy the long weekend in August by going to the Lake District for a few days. Its a longer drive than we anticipted from London (6 hours), but well worth the visit. The scenery from the B&B is spectacular with rolling paddocks, nestled in between the surrounding mountains. I'm really glad we booked this... More

I have just spent 4 brilliant days (not including the weather !) at Greenbank. Janet ~ the owner ~ & her family made me so welcome ( a pot of tea & biscuits as soon as I arrived ) The house is situated in stunning gardens & woodland. Being away from the road makes it very peaceful, so nice to... More

We stayed for 3 nights and we enjoyed the stay. The surroundings are beautiful, and we were very pleased with the room. the shower was only a hand held but the bath was nice after a day's walking. There is a honesty bar downstairs and we were offered to have our things cleaned if they were too grubby after being... More

We are very regular visitors to The Lakes and usually choose to stay in Keswick (or maybe Hawkshead) but thought we would try somewhere a little more out of the way as the towns can be busy at weekends - and I think we have found our perfect destination for the future. Janet was lovely from the minute we arrived... More

Greenbank will take your breath away with the most beautiful views. My wife and I stayed in Rockery Cottage, it was really lovely , it was very clean and comfortable and Janet and her sister made us feel very welcome. We would recommend staying there to anyone and can't wait to go back ourselves. The lake district would be lovely... More

We enjoyed everything about our visit from the warm welcome on arrival to or departure four days later. The rooms were comfortable, and two well furnished lounges with lovely views were a very nice touch. More

Very friendly family, clean rooms all with great views. 10 minute drive from Keswick, but far enough away from roads to give peace and quiet. Ideal location for some supreb walks. Catered for a vegatarian with issues. Can't recommend this place enough. Looking forward to returnng at some point. More

Visited with my wifes family just before Easter. What a great location, a short walk from Derwent Water and a short bus ride from Keswick. Met on arrival by Janet with a lovely cup of tea and the friendly atmosphere continued during our stay. Bedroom was nicely laid out if not a bit small (probably to allow for the ensuite).... More
