“Brilliant!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2006

people found this review helpful

This was the first time we have stayed in a guesthouse, as we have always stayed in hotels, but having been severely disapointed with a recent stay in a hotel near Thirlmere we decided to try something different. And different it was!

On arrival we were made to feel perfectly at home and given a lovely room overlooking a wooded hillside, a really lovely setting. The room had all we could wish for and the food was lovely, obviously freshly cooked with vegetables just how we like them. By the time we had eaten the sticky toffee pudding we barely had room for the cheeses and buiscuits that followed. But we did our best. A short stroll around the village showed us just what a quiet and picturesque place this is.

The owners of Jenkin Hill Cottage, Kelvin & Christine, go out of their way to make sure everything is just fine, and create a very relaxed "fun" atmosphere, just right for a holiday break. We will be going back!

“Gained too much weight - the food was so good!”

I am a coeliac and Jenkin Hill Cottage was first class. Kelvyn and Christine Sheppard completely understand the need for a gluten-free diet and I trusted them completely. Every food offered to non-coeliacs was offered to me (in a gluten-free form).

The house has a warm and welcoming atmosphere and my husband and I settled in immediately.

Kelvyn and Christine had thought of everything that we might need and the accommodation was of a very high standard. I would recommend this establishment without reservation.

“Coeliac Friendly Accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2002
5
people found this review helpful

I have gluten intolerance (coeliac disease) so it was a great relief to me to find some accommodation in the Lake District that specialises in catering for such problems. Not only was I able to enjoy excellent quality @safe@ home cooked food, but the proprietors went out of their way to ensure everything was OK for me. On top of that the guest house is in the most beautiful location in a village not far from keswick.
