The location of the Avondale Guest House in Keswick, Cumbria, could not have been more perfect for walking to dinner restaurants and to hike on the many surrounding hills. We could park our car when we arrived and not drive again until we left. Even better were Stephen and Linda, always helpful, friendly and always making the best suggestions. We... More

Thank you for posting your very kind review. You made it a pleasure to look after you. It was such a shame that one of you needed medical attention but at least we got it sorted out quickly. We really do hope that you'll make it back here some day. We'll save some Cumberland sausages especially for you! More

Having booked last minute and only booked one night we were made to feel very welcome. Stephen and Linda were lovely and very helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely, set us up well for the day. Great location. We would definitely return to Avondale and would recommend it. More

We had a 4 star experience at the Avondale Guest House over the bank holiday weekend. Stephen and Linda do everything to make sure that you have everything, and the breakfasts are amazing. Of special note is the whisky porridge with the oats soaked overnight and the black pudding sourced from Glasgow, but there is such an extensive range of... More

Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review. Linda's happy that you appreciate the amount of effort that goes into making everything as clean and sparkling as possible. The malt whisky porridge and the Stornoway black pudding continue to be a hit; long may it continue. Sorry you were unlucky enough to pick up 3 parking... More

Pleasant welcome, good comfortable rooms which were quiet and a great breakfast with large plates which were full - plenty of choice. Spotlessly clean. Linda and Steven always had a chat with us when we were entering or leaving. Just felt right. Would definitely like to return with more members of the family. More

Many thanks for reviewing our guest house. We understand your concern about too many people finding out about us. Honestly, we do sympathise! Don't worry though, we'll make sure that there's still a room or two left for yourself and family. Glad you had enough to eat and thanks for the circuitous recommendation! More

I have just got back from the excellent Avondale after occupying two double rooms for three nights there with my fiance, sister and brother-in-law (age range 27-30) and could not hold the experience in higher regard. We originally selected the Avondale from positive reviews we had previously read on tripadvisor, our requirement was simply a clean and comfortable base whilst... More
