Ratings and reviews
6.0 / 10.0
Location was good - 15 min walk to Keswick. Bed was comfortable
The check in involved calling the host and following a series of laminated signs to find the keys - all of which could have been communicated via email as the signs were very hard to miss.
Payment was taken through booking.com then refunded and had to pay in cash instead…
Parking was awkward and required leaving car keys available in the room in case the host needed to move your car to let someone else out. This felt like an infringement on privacy and has implications for insurance.
The entire hotel and room was full of more laminated signs dictating what you could and could not do. One of these was not eating in the room, which I found to be very restrictive and inappropriate.
The rooms were relatively dated and the bedside lamps were so dull that they may as well have not been there at all.
The rooms were freezing as the heating was hardly ever on and there were no blankets - only a thin duvet. A request for the heating to come on was ignored completely with not even an explanation for why not. This was not ideal for us after a winter walk in the lake district!

Near to the centre of Keswick. We booked last minute as there was a problem on airbnb we previously booked. The owner is very accomodating.
There was a smell on the carpet in our room. It was not pleasant.

The view from the window was incredible
The room was absolutely freezing when we arrived. It warmed up about an hour later, but would have been nicer to walk into a warm room.

Good value for money and very attentive host.
3.0 / 10.0
It was reasonable value for money.
The owner was not there and entry was via key in key safe which was difficult to operate. We didn’t see anyone till breakfast and it all felt a bit weird.
The house itself was tired and in need of updates .
Parking was limited and awkward.
10.0 / 10.0
The owner was very organized, which I appreciated with the number of guests being served,
Not a big deal because I like to walk but it’s a 20-25 minute walk to the City centre with retail and eating places,

About 15mins walk from the middle of Keswick - a great garage about 5mins walk
Super friendly host and very easy to communicate with about checking in as I was arriving a little later than normal
Room was as expected good value for money given I booked less than 24 hours before arriving. Small single room was nice - TV - coffee etc and clean towels etc

It looked nice on the website.
Rang the guesthouse. Asked a reasonable question in a calm and polite manner. The man on the phone from the guesthouse was as rude as you could possibly imagine. Within the first 30 seconds of the phonecall he told me I was "talking b***cks". When I asked if I could cancel because of how disproportionately rude he was being he told me "do whatever the f** you want" and hung up.
Was as unprofessional as you could get. We opted not to stay. The guesthouse did not grant a refund or reply to any further communication.

nice choice for brekky, freshly made, very organised system for food
only scored the price down a bit because Keswick is so pricey - compared to places to stay in Keswick then the price is reasonable, just a shame keswick is so dear

Excellent view. Lovely cooked breakfast. Adequate parking. Nice central location.
Woke up by a group of men in the corridors at 1am who continued shouting to each other for 30 minutes, b&b owner did nothing to tell them to be quiet.
Juice/bread/non-cooked elements of the breakfast had room for improvement but still good breakfast overall.

Pleasant host, free parking at property and nice breakfast to start the mornings.
Unfortunately not as advertised in the photos and was taken back on arrival. Decor completely different. Didn’t feel very cosy and room could do with an upgrade. Looked better in old photos. Had to share bathroom with other guests which was not expected.

The whole operation around breakfast in the morning was exceptionally well carried out. Host was extremely welcoming and helped out with any issues.
The parking is a bit awkward, but the hosts help out a great deal with any problems.

Really enjoyed my stay with Craglands - the hosts are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious (bacon is the best there!). I would definitely recommend staying there and will do so again when I'm next in Keswick.

FrĂĽhstĂĽck miserabel
Lage OK
Fettig angebratene Dosenpilze und Tomaten, Bacon schlechtester Qualität - haben ihn sofort ausgespuckt.
Das Porridge war wässrig, geschmacklos und matschig.
Die Fruits kamen aus dem Gefrierfach und waren eiskalt.
