Our daughter, husband and two friends had already booked at the Pitcairn House so we booked without my normal checking things out. We arrived Saturday mid-morning and after a chat with Heather and Steve we felt they had chosen well. We went off to the Keswick Beer Festival and after sampling the beers came back late afternoon to see the... More

My daughter and I stayed at Pitcairn House at the beginning of our 2 week holiday to the Lake district and Scotland, and I must say that Heather and Steve helped give our holiday a very good start. We arrived after flying all night (and getting very little sleep) from the States and driving for several hours through the beautiful... More

Awaking on a glorious Saturday and having itchy feet, my girlfriend decided we should go to the Lakes and began the search for somewhere to stay. The first place we rang based on TripAdvisor reviews answered the phone and advised they had no vacancies and it was breakfast and they were busy so please don't phone at this time again!!!... More

Staying at Pitcairn House was my first B&B experience in the United Kingdom and what a wonderful experience it was! Heather and Steve were there to warmly welcome my father and I after we had been hours of traveling. Located walking distance from the city center (or centre) and a perfect little walk to the Lake where walking trails are... More

We booked Pitcairn House for our recent stay in Keswick based on previous Trip Advisor reviews and were not dissapointed. Steve and Heather are the best hosts we have met in our years of visiting The Lakes. They are very friendly and welcoming and keep the accomodation immaculate. The breakfast also is superb with plenty of choice, you also have... More

A spur of the moment decision to go somewhere found us googling the Lakes and after consulting Trip advisor we found this little treasure; perfectly positioned at the edge of town within really close proximity of everything we needed. It was an overnight stay with the intention of us relaxing and taking in plenty of fresh air (and alcohol!) This... More

We have been regular visitors to Keswick for a number of years as keen walkers and have experienced a number of very good bed and breakfasts during that time , however this is by far the very best . We have stayed at Picairn several times now , on our own and with our dogs over the past few years... More

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Pitcairn House more by good fortune. Planning a last minute visit to the lakes over the bank holiday, we were delighted to find availability for 2 nights at such a wonderful place. We were lucky to have the last on suite bedroom and albeit slightly smaller than we would of liked it... More

Will definitely stay here again. Beautiful place to stay. Heather and Stephen are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We stayed in the double en suite and the views from both windows are beautiful. Lovely finishing touches in the room and breakfast is very good. Would recommend to family and friends.
