“Just perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2010

person found this review helpful

The owners, Teresa and Carl are lovely, very friendly and helpful. The B&B is the perfect base from which to explore Keswick and beyond, being only at most a 5 minute walk away from the town centre. If you're commuting to Keswick via train, there's a bus stop directly outside Penrith train station and the bus stops at a bus stop just a 5 min walk from the B&B, which is handy. Our room was spotless, the tea and coffee facilities (and supplies, with biccies) were a nice touch. The bathroom was brand new and very posh. Comfortable beds and a view of the fells from the window. Breakfast was nice too, full english with tea/coffee/juice etc, also the option of cereals. We spent two nights here and would definitely stay again, in fact I wouldn't stay anywhere else :-)

“Nice Guest House”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2008

person found this review helpful

Stayed at the Glencoe for 2 nights in May 2008. Not being able to find any reviews on this guest house was a bit worrying but any such fears on settling in were soon dispelled.
The 2 rooms we booked were spacious and very comfortable and we slept well on both nights. Didn't need the heating as fortunately Keswick happened to be the warmest part of UK during our stay. Showers in both rooms (no bath) but they were in good order (good water flow),

Breakfast was of a very good standard. The landlady was very friendly and helpful. Only two very small minus points:
Parking was difficult but spaces in adjoining streets if required (looks a safe area, this is Keswick!). Need to take your own tea bags, the ones in the rooms/breakfast weren't very good.

Definitely recommended and would certainly go back.

  • Liked — Friendly host/location/food
  • Disliked — Parking adjacently may be a problem.

I am glad you enjoyed your stay and would recommend us. We support fair trade and use fair trade products where possible, I am sorry you did not like the tea bags but if you stay again let us know and we will get in a different bag for you to try. Our aim is to ensure all our guests enjoy their stay. With regard to parking, unfortunately we cannot guarantee a space immediately outside the front door but there is always a space nearby, Keswick has the bonus of a very low crime rate. Hope to see you again at Glencoe Guest House.
