We arrived for a four day stay and were welcomed by Shaun, who gave us a great low down on the local area. The guest house is a short walk to the main street, so excellent base for shopping, the lake or fells. We stayed in room 5, it was a double room with ensuite shower. In the room there... More

Good value b&b in the heart of Keswick. Served as a good base for a solo hiking trip and the small single ensuite room was ideal for a former camper turned soft. Neat little room with all mod cons. Not masses of space for luggage if you don't travel light. Wifi available throughout but a bit sketchy in the single... More

The room was extremely clean and smart, we were impressed. Bed was comfy and both got a great few nights sleep. We liked the added touches like cotton wool/ear buds and straighteners. Shower was spacious and reasonably powerful but took a little while to get hot. We missed the bath after a long walk but that was the only negative... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Lakemere. We stayed in a large double at the top of the house and were delighted with what was on offer. Lots of attention to detail - wlaking books left in the room, good tea/coffee tray, hair dryer and HAIR STRAIGHTENERS!!!, cotton buds, etc. The room was very nicely decorated and comfortable. Bed a... More

Received a warm ŵelcome from the friendly owners. Lovely decorated room, quiet, good thick curtains kept out any light when asleep. Key provided for your stay, so come in and out anytime during the day. Breakfast was top class and a great range of provisions from full English breakfast and cereals, juice, fruit, toast etc, etc. We fully recommend Lakemere... More

Spent just one night, but was made to feel very welcome. Definately a home from home. Room was lovely - modern, clean and comfy with en suit, and was certainly as good as more expensive guest houses Ive stayed in before. Situated close to the town but in a quiet side street, not overlooked and ideally situated for for everything... More

My partner and I visited Keswick for a weekend break in November and looked at several bed & breakfast establishments on the internet before selecting the Lakemere. There were lots to choose from and we selected the Lake Mere as we liked the look of the rooms, however on arrival, we were disappointed that the photos on the website were... More
