Oakthwaite Guesthouse

We stayed in a very elegant, super clean and comfortable room, which was just lovely after a long walk. Breakfast is delicious (lots of choice and combinations). Rebecca and Simon are very welcoming: from prosecco and cake on arrival and chocolates throughout the stay to detailed weather forecast information for the day and advice for walks (including the beautiful Styhead Tarn). Very happy!

Amazing little place, B&B ran with love and care. So many little touches which made our little staycation perfect. We do not normally choose to stay in a small B&B but this place has changed our opinion, hosts gave just the right amount of attention, breakfast was on time, hot and delicious exactly what we asked for, room was small but fully equipped with everything we needed and clean. We will definitely be returning. Thanks for making the stay lovely.

A fantastic little B&B in the heart of Keswick - absolutely spotlessly clean , modern and with lots of lovely additional touches such as Prosecco on arrival and homemade cake  - friendly owners and an absolutely superb breakfast- cannot give this place enough compliments , if your looking for somewhere to stay definitely try here , you won’t be disappointed

My wife and I travelled from Leicester to Keswick by car and we stayed for 4 days at this beautifully, clean, quiet and accessible bed & breakfast. Becky and Simon, the owners are very professional, friendly, knowledgable and helpful and made our stay very comfortable and pleasant. We are both strict vegetarians and they asked in advance what we'd like and adjusted their breakfast menu for us. Our climb to Mount Skiddaw was greately facilitated through Simon's detailed guidance. Their B&B is at a comfortable walking distance from the main town shopping centre, bus station and the Lake side boating, restaurants and so on. No hesitation in recommending it!

What a fantastic find, a real superb B&B in a great location within easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Keswick. We stayed in room 2 which is the super king, it was spotlessly clean and so comfortable, lovely  pillows and mattress .  Breakfast was amazing, great choice with quality products. Fantastic hosts and some nice little extra touches, lemon drizzle cake and Prosecco on arrival. We will certainly be back.

Great location, welcoming hosts and really good breakfast with clean comfortable room.  What more is required?
A very short walk to town centre with 
On-street car parking available outside guesthouse..

Cannot rate this B&B highly enough. 

We usually stay in hotels, and I was dubious about staying in a B&B, but I'm so so glad I stumbled upon Oakthwaite House. 

Firstly the rooms - immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. All the little touches are in the room (hair dryer, teas/coffees/biscuits, and some basic toiletries), as well as the offer of prosecco and cake on arrival. 
The top floor room we stayed in wasn't huge but that's typical of this type of house in the lakes (bigger rooms are available, but as we booked late they were all taken - and I'm not surprised!) As a bonus our room had a mountain view. 

The breakfast - amazing. A large selection of items to choose from, and tastes absolutely wonderful. Most definitely worth getting up for! 

Simon and Rebecca the owners are absolutely lovely and can't do enough for their guests. They take a genuine interest in what you're going to be doing/where you're going to eat etc. and are able to give recommendations if required. They are also super helpful and offer to print maps/provide leaflets. It felt more like going to visit someone you knew, which really put me at ease. 

The property is decorated as tastefully as the rooms, and is to the same immaculately clean standard. There are trays in the hallway to leave muddy boots which is brilliant as you don't have to take them to your room! (Although there are also trays in the rooms). 

Parking is on street, and there are lots of streets around the B&B if you cannot get directly in front of the property (although I believe there was disabled parking outside the property). 

The B&B is a five minute walk from town, and  a lovely park. 

As a side note, Simon and Rebecca have really worked hard to ensure the property is covid-19 safe. Sanitising stations on each landing/in the dining room; split breakfast sittings; updated housekeeping routine; and easy check in and out. We felt very safe here. 

My partner and I have already decided that we'd like to go back and stay at Oakthwaite House! 

Simon and Rebecca, if you read this - a genuine thank you. You definitely contributed to making Seb's 30th so enjoyable.

Simon and Rebecca are absolutely lovely hosts and people, they manage to make a stay feel like going to a home from home and could not be more helpful or welcoming. This is our second stay and will definitely not be our last stay! 

The rooms are simple but clean and all you need. There is tea and coffee sachets and a wee kettle, a tidy bathroom with toiletries provided and some storage space. We have stayed in the two back rooms which are slightly smaller but still ample space. The two front rooms are bigger but they are all kept nice, clean and all you need. 

The breakfast included is lovely! The stacker sets you up for the day, no lunch needed! The welcome Prosecco and lemon drizzle cake is a great addition, alongside the chocolates put in after each days room service.

Happily would stay again and recommended it highly.

Fantastic couple of nights with Simon, and Rebecca. No complaints at all. Room 2 is very spacious, with a really comfy bed, the Shower unit is marvellous with all soaps and shampoos needed. 
In room tea and coffee, plus treats were very welcome...

Breakfast was delicious both mornings with a great, and varied selection for all tastes. 
Fantastic location for Keswick town centre, the north lakes and beyond. 
Fabulous hoists! Thank you....

Just returned from a visit to Keswick and a stay at Oakthwaite guest house. We arrived slightly early but this wasn’t a problem for Rebecca who welcomed us with a warm smile, lots of good info on the area and a glass of Prosecco. The room was lovely, very clean and comfortable and the area really quiet. Both Rebecca and Simon made time to greet you at breakfast of which there was an excellent choice and the gave good info on things to do and see in the area. All in all a really nice break on a really lovey guest house. Would recommend highly. We will see you again. Thankyou.

En-Route to Scotland 

We stayed at Oakthwaite House late September for 2 nights.  Greeted by Rebecca with a glass of Prosecco which was a lovely touch.  Great location for town, only 5 minutes or so walk.   Excellent breakfast, plenty of choice.  The room also had tea, coffee, water and snacks which were replenished daily - really nice touch you don’t find everywhere.  Haven’t given it 5* as the  room was quite small, with the en-suite a big step up from the bedroom level and quite a small shower cubicle.  Parking is on the side road, which is narrow and quite busy so you might not get parked right outside, which wasn’t ideal for us as we had lots of luggage as on a multi stop mini tour of the UK.  Our luggage also made the narrow stairway awkward, but if you’re travelling lighter than us then you won’t have an issue.  Also had to take shoes off in the hallway, which didn’t bother us but may put some off.  Overall would recommend as the room was comfy and clean, and Rebecca and Simon were great hosts.
