Everything about Portland House was perfect. Lovely hosts, beautiful room, perfect location, and more. Having options at breakfast is such a nice change from the mandatory English breakfast. Also, be sure to ask Rod for his fish-n-chips recommendation in town. Keswick is easy to get around by foot. The longest walk is from the bus station to the house, and... More

Spotless room, great breakfast and fantastic hosts. We have stayed here every year for the past 10 years as part of a large group. With some recent refurbishment and Denise and Rod in charge it's at its best ever. More

You just can't fault the Portland House. Rod and Denise are fantastic hosts, everywhere is spotless and the breakfasts are made to order. We wouldn't stay anywhere else and can't wait to go back in 2012. More

We stayed at Portland in September 2011. Good location in the center of Keswick, lovely hosts, very helpful, with a wonderful sense of humor. Denise and Rod prepare huge and tasty breakfast every morning. Quite a lot to choose from. The rooms are pretty and very clean, tastefully decorated. The breakfast room is lovely. Keswick is gorgeous and so is... More

I decided to drag the good lady up Scafell Pike, so I chose Portland House having searched for a B&B nearby last minute. We stayed for 2 nights in October 2011. The room was the smallest double but for us it was just right (even with my overly large bag!), the homemade shortbread was a tasty treat too. Rod and... More

My family & I (4 adults) stayed here for 2 nights and we all agreed that this was definitely the best b&b of our whole UK trip (we stayed at 7 B&Bs in total). This was largely due to the warm & friendly hosts Rod & Denise who were very welcoming & extremely helpful in giving directions & suggestions on... More

We stayed at Portland House for three nights. Having never stayed in Keswick before it certainly exceeded our expectations. The location and parking is a plus and Rod and Denise are the perfect hosts. We couldn't fault the accommodation facilities and cleanliness are second to none. The breakfasts are amazing, cooked perfectly and lots of choice. Rod was really helpful... More

I stayed here with my Mother for a weekend in October. She has problems with her back which makes walking up stairs or standing for long periods of time difficult. We booked this B&B for the downstairs room and as a result of the reviews on trip advisor. When we arrived we were met by Rod who explained various things,... More

Another visit to wonderful Portland House in September 2011. We just cannot praise this gorgeous B&B enough. Rod and Denise are the most welcoming hosts, with great breakfasts, loads of choices, and everything perfectly cooked. Huge bedrooms, absolutely spotless, everything provided in the room that you could possibly need. Unfortunately my husband hurt his foot whilst out walking on the... More

My wife and I stayed here with Jay-n-Sal for their 10th Wedding Anniversary. It was recommended to us by them from a previous visit. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left was perfect (apart from the weather!). There was attention to detail everywhere that you just wouldn't normally expect from a B&B e.g. torch by the bed... More
