Room is spacious and sparkling clean with nice view of the lake. It is an old building in traditional renovation. If you like the atmosphere of staying in an old English house you will definitely love it. We had a nice and quiet break from busy life there. Breakfast was nicely served. Close walking distance to hiking trail. It's a few minutes drive from town centre.

We had never been to that part of the lakes before so we weren't sure want to expect, the village itself it pretty and clean but definitely lacked amenities. Dalegarth B&B had the important things that we look for, Top of the list, cleanliness, and i think they do the best breakfast we've ever had. Lot's of choice, cereals, fresh fruits, yogurts, and a massive list of cooked items. No limits on food either. Very generous. The whole building is cosy warm, you get to decide whether to keep your radiators on or turn them off. Nice white sheets and towels and a stunning bathroom, We only had a couple of niggles. I'm personally not keen on Velux windows in a room, I like to be able to see outside, The pillows were a little to flat for us too. We had room 6 and we soon realised, room 5's bathroom was attached to our room and the people in there on the first night were chatting and flushing the loo throughout the night keeping us awake, Not that' the owners could have done much about that. The 2nd night we had new neighbours and never heard them once!!! Craig & Clare are welcoming, open and friendly, but they're definitely hands off hosts , which again we really liked. They've there if you want or need them with the press of a bell otherwise you only see the at breakfast. Clare is an amazing cook.

Strongly recommended - superb breakfast!

Extremely well run and homely B&B just outside Keswick. The breakfast was a particular highlight - especially the a la carte menu. Small things (like tea & coffee in the room with fresh milk, flapjacks in reception and USB charging sockets) make a big difference. I also appreciated the excellent advice provided by the hosts on hiking routes and where to eat in Keswick. I only stayed for one night but will stay longer next time.
