Super New Year Break

The property has its own parking. the location was perfect for us. There were five of us and we all enjoyed our lovely rooms, the breakfast choice was very good and all freshly cooked. We arrived early and the owners who were very accommodating. Thank you for a lovely stay.

There was nothing to dislike.

Great stay, thanks

Julia and John were very helpful in suggesting walks and places to eat and drink. Our rooms were good and the breakfasts offered lots of choice and included nice touches like fresh fruit.

Very enjoyable

The property was very clean and warm. The location was good and there was parking which was a bonus. The owners/ staff were very friendly and helpful , the breakfast was very enjoyable x

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like but I did feel that the half step leading up the stairs from the second floor to the third floor needed to be highlighted in some way I almost slipped off it when carrying my bags The patterned carpet masked the half step somewhat. A notice near the step would have been helpful

Great place to stay as a solo traveller

Accommodation was very clean, comfortable and in a great location. The hosts were friendly and helpful. It was an easy 5 mins walk into the town centre. Breakfast choices were excellent and overall I felt very welcomed as a first time solo traveller staying 2 nights.

Nothing I didn't like!

Small but perfectly formed.

We really enjoyed the breakfast, which was well-organised using the well-designed form. John and Julia were warm, friendly, and attentive at breakfast. The accommodation, while on the small side, was more than enough for the two of us.

There wasn't anything we disliked; however, the shower wasn't very powerful and the shower room was on the small side.

A wonderful stay with welcoming hosts and great breakfast.

We had an absolutely wonderful two-night stay at Tarn Hows. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed by our hosts, who went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The room was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Breakfast each morning was delicious, freshly prepared, and really set us up for the day. The location is ideal, peaceful and beautiful, with easy access to stunning walks and nearby attractions. What really made our stay special was the genuine hospitality. Our hosts were friendly, attentive, and happy to share tips about the local area, which made us feel truly at home. We can’t recommend Tarn Hows highly enough and would love to return!

Short stay

Beautiful breakfast. Clean room, bathroom clean but a little tight for maneuvering. The bed sloped to one side when laying down but all in all very good accommodation and close walking into town centre. 5 mins

As above

Excellent stay, great location with parking!

Tarn Hows was in an excellent position- a short walk into the hustle and bustle of the town. It was immaculate. The room was excellent, as was the breakfast. We’ll definitely return!

The weather was very hot so a fan left in the wardrobe might be useful for those times.

A really enjoyable time, would certainly recommend.

We had everything we needed. Little extras ie different teas and hot chocolate. Great breakfast choices.

Found the bed a little too firm.

I'd come back!

Lots of solo rooms in this BnB so we had very lively chats in the mornings with other guests and the hosts, discussing the area and possible hikes. Rooms are cozy and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious every day. Ideal spot for hikers, close to Keswick centre (highly recommend the cinema on a rainy day) and the main hikes in the area around Derwentwater. Boot room and boiler room available to dry shoes and clothes. Thank you for a great stay!

I would not book this place again.

Breakfasts were good

Our room was tiny. There was only one chair in it for two people. The bathroom was also small and had insufficient facilities for hanging up wet towels. There was no lounge , so nowhere to sit other than our bedroom-see above. This is an issue in a place like the Lake District where it often rains.

Welcoming place to stay

The hosts were welcoming and accommodating when I asked to store my suitcases early. It was clean and had everything I needed. Breakfast was tasty and well timed. It was an easy walk from the bus station.

The bed was really uncomfortable. I felt like I was sliding off the mattress the whole time. I couldn’t figure out if the floor was slanted or if it was the mattress. One other thing, I have social anxiety and I did not like being obliged to share a breakfast table with a stranger just because I was a party of one.

Lovely spotless house. Great breakfast & good location.

Breakfast was made to order & it was very good. The place was spotless and in a nice location, not far to walk to the town centre.

Our bathroom was very small. That said it had what we required.

Lovely place to stay in Keswick :)

Loved this place. I booked it relatively last minute for a quick trip to Keswick as the usual place I stayed was fully booked. Julia and John were both so lovely and gave me great tips for walks around the area. The location was excellent and very close to shops and parks with bus stop just around the corner :) I booked the single room which was very cute and cosy and very clean :) perfect for a single person Breakfast was great with good options and I would defo come back. Thank you Julia and John!

Happy with my choice.

Location was great, parking is a bonus although I parked on the street as spaces became available and its just a little bit easier for me. There had clearly been some renovations and the shower was great after a hard day on the hills. Basically it was all I would want and it's nice when the feedback on the site is not exaggerated.
