Very friendly owners. Excellent breakfast selection and they will make a small lunch pack up on request. Bathroom and single bedroom were very clean and large selection of maps and routes available in the living room downstairs. 15 min walk (on path through field) to centre of Keswick, however it isn't lit, and will take longer if you follow the main roads. Parking is available is available behind building (but might be tight access for larger vehicles, so you may have to park out front). Bus Stop (to Buttermere etc.) about 30m away and doesn't directly pass the B&B.
Shared bathroom for single room (Rm 7) is on another floor (but luckily I had bathroom to myself).
Is on a main road in Portinscale, so expect some traffic noise between normal working hours.

The breakfast was absolutely exceptional, Debbie was nothing short of wonderful, the location is a 15 minute walk away from Keswick, there is a great pub 2 minutes down the road and the views are stellar! Honestly could not fault it. Would recommend to absolutely anyone.

Skiddaw Croft was in a prefect location-close to Keswick.It was a quite location with a great pub just down the lane.Good for food and drink.
Skiddaw Croft was very welcoming with fantastic options for breakfast.
The bed was very comfortable and we slept really well.
The only minor point was the shower-a little tight but great hot water and everything you would need. And it was ensuite, so no sharing.

Everything was absolutely amazing!!! The room was spotless with a fantastic beverage tray, bottled water left everyday, even sweets in a jar!! The bed and bedding were so comfortable we didnt want to get up!🤣. The breakfast choices were fantastic and cooked to perfection. Debbie and Paul couldn't do enough for us. When Debbie realised it was our anniversary she placed a card and gifts on our breakfast table! The B & B itself was immaculate throughout with lots of little extras that made it home from home and more more like a boutique hotel!!! The location was perfect, just a mile walk into Keswick through a rural setting. Overall the best bed and breakfast we've ever stayed in and will definitely be returning!!! Thankyou so much for making our stay outstanding!!

I expected to enjoy my stay in the Lake District, but I didn't expect to be able to see Cat Bells (which I planned to hike up) from my room. Breakfast also exceeded my expectations, with a variety to order and excellent quality. Most importantly, Debbie and Paul helped me out when I got a flat, spending a lot of time sorting it while I walked up to a local place for scones :)
It all exceeded my expectations!

A lovely well positioned b&b. A good base for walking in the Lakes.
Debbie was lovely and welcoming. My room had everything I needed and a fabulous view. Breakfast was excellent with a very varied choice. I can highly recommend Skiddaw Croft.

A lovely peaceful location, an easy walk from Keswick, the Skiddaw Croft was an excellent base. Our room was nicely furnished with quality bedding and the largest bath towel I have ever seen! Everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided and the owner was extremely helpful. Breakfast was very good, with a selection of cereals and fresh fruit, followed by a cooked breakfast of your choice using quality ingredients. Home made jams and marmalades were provided. Highly recommended.
Everything exceeded our expectations.

I stayed at Skiddaw Croft Bed & Breakfast for 2 nights. This guest house was simply exceptional value and quality! The special highlight of the stay must be the staff. I can't recollect her name but I think it was Debby. She was very helpful and her warm hospitality certainly left a strong impression! The room I stayed in was a Single bed room on the 2nd floor. This was a nice little cozy room with a breathtaking view of Derwent Water. The room had all the essential amenities for a perfect stay and I didn't ever have to bother to ask anything. I had a small little fresh milk bottle which wasn't expected at all. I certainly know a lot of places that would charge a lot higher skip on essential Tea, coffee amenities in the room but such small things do make a very comfortable stay. The English Breakfast was delicious with all the food items as expected and the quality of the fruits was simply brilliant. I was highly impressed with my stay at Skiddaw Croft B&B. If I travel back to the Lake district again this is the only place I will choose to come back and stay! Simply very happy!

Excellent breakfast, perfectly cooked. Good range of options.
Just regarding location, the 20-minute walk into Keswick wasn't ideal.

Location was great - we loved being just outside Keswick in a more tranquil place.
The breakfast was lovely and our host couldn't have been more helpful. There were so many extra little touches that made our stay more comfortable - like wine glasses in the room, fresh milk, a fan when it was hot, and even a protective case for my hair straighteners!
We were right at the top of the house which was south facing and very hot during our stay, but I'm sure in colder weather we might have appreciated that! The shower was very small - fine for us as we're both quite slim but a bigger person might have struggled!

A warm and friendly reception at this beautiful location. Spotlessly clean and the breakfasts were consistently wonderful.
The parking is naturally demanding in this vintage Lake District location; not too daunting, but just be aware that large vehicles might find access a challenge. I believe parking on the street is also fine if available.

Plenty of choice and well prepared breakfast. The location was good, and while not in Keswick itself, it was just a twenty minute walk along a lane and flat path through a field. Wonderful view from my top floor room.
My room was a single with just a wash basin but the bathroom, which was shared with one other room, was on the floor below. Not a problem but the stairs may be a for some.

Location is perfect for access to walks, a short easy walk into Keswick and a bus stop just opposite the B&B

Beautiful cosy b&b with beautiful views, parking and lovely finishing touches in the room. Dressing gown and slippers provided along with tea, coffee, milk, water etc and topped up if required. Breakfast was amazing. Lots of choice and my favourite of yoghurt with fresh fruit, poached eggs with adacado on sourdough. Quantity and quality to perfection. The bed was lovely and comfortable too with a cosy blanket. Thank you so much for making my solo new years trip amazing.
The bathroom was along the corridor and down a flight of stairs but it was easily manageable.
