Well appointed B&B a short walk to Keswick centre. Parking can be difficult but when you find a space you don't need to move it again.. Breakfast is full and excellent quality and the hosts are lovely. Great walks around the local area for all levels which the owners are very knowledgeable on
Currently staying here.. Its a beautiful find in Keswick, with an amazing view from our room and you are literally spoiled rotten. Everything has been thought about. So clean and comfortable. A credit to the owners hard work.
Third time here.lovely guest house Heather is a wonderful host cannot help you enough.great breakfast will be making many more trips here.
I had a great time staying here.Heather was kind and attentive, the room was lovely and cosy, and the bed was very comfortable.I would like to stay here again.
We had a super lovely stay at the West View guesthouse! Hosts: Heather and Craig are the most friendly and welcoming hosts that you can meet. We were a bit uncertain on which ones of the numerous trails to choose, and they gave us excellent recommendations on beautiful hikes and places to visit, alongside with maps to borrow from them. Room/house: We chose the small room for our stay. However, despite the size, we had enough space to store our clothes for 4 nights. Worth to notice the availability of a big, shared space with the other guests, with two large sofas, some games for children, and a lovely view of the mountains. Breakfast: Excellent breakfast! You can help yourself with some milk/yogurt and fruit/cereals/nuts, and have a cooked breakfast as well. We had a tasty English breakfast (including big Cumberland sausage) and pancakes that kept us full until lunch

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
