Staff are friendly, approachable and will do anything to help you have a pleasant stay. Rooms clean and powerful showers. Loads of storage space. Breakfast was amazing and first time when offered a range of options - you must try the Overnight Oats! Just what we needed before some big hikes.

Very nice guest house close to the heart of Keswick. Hostess was friendly and communicative. Property very clean. Reasons for four stars instead of five include the size of the room and bathroom (quite small), and the very limited time for breakfast (1/2 hour window).

We had the best sleeps in these beds!!!! The breeze through the big windows was a relief. The room was perfect for myself and 2 boys, spacious and everything we needed!!! Breakfast was delicious, the Yorkshire tea brewed in a pot was perfect. Lorraine and Simon are lovely hosts, I would definitely recommend the guest house to my friends.

Our room was bigger than we expected and our beds were very comfortable. It was lovely to arrive to a delicious afternoon tea cake to enjoy in our room. The breakfast was delicious. Tasty locally sourced bacon and sausages, all cooked to perfection. The location is super close to town and about 45 minutes walk to Castlerigg Stones. Highly recommend staying here, Lorraine has so much local knowledge too!

Lorraine and Simon were friendly welcoming hosts. Lots of tourist information provided arou d the house. Our room had an abundance of power points and charhing ports. Lorraines friendly personality made the breakfast room a chatty and friendly environment. Excellent variety of hot and cold breakfast choices.

Fantastic B&B in beautiful Keswick! The hosts were warm and super friendly. The room was clean and comfy. We tried a few of the breakfast options and they were all delicious. There’s a beautiful park (Fritz) nearby, and it’s 5-10 miles from several great hiking options, including the breathtaking Buttermere area. Highly recommend!

Fantastic B&B close to the centre of Keswick. Would give 6 stars but app limited to 5. Super clean, super comfortable bed, one of the best nights sleep I've had away from home. Shower nice and powerful. Hosts Lorraine & Simon very hospitable and welcoming. Thank you.

Love staying at Dorchester House. Lorraine is such a wonderful host, always helping with any information we need and goes out of her way to help me with storing my luggage before checkin and after checkout.The location is fantastic, just next to the Town centre and bus stops. The street is well-lit and safe to roam even when dark. The room is super cosy and the bedding is clean and so comfortable that my kids would love sleep-in instead of going out and about. The breakfast is delicious and Lorraine makes sure they are served hot. The lake is just 10mins walk and there are many dining options. I cant recommend this place enough and Lorraine and Simon are the best hosts. Thank you for giving us such a lovely stay in Keswick!❤️

Simon and Lorraine were very welcoming hosts and us feel at home during our short stay. The B&B is situated on a quiet residential road near the town centre with parking avaible on the roadside. We found our room well furnished, clean and spacious with a good ensuite bathroom. One can choose from a variety of breakfast items including full English, porridge, etc, all freshly prepared in the morning. Simon and Lorraine do a great job running their guesthouse and long may that continue.

An exceptional guesthouse - felt very comfortable and looked after. Great breakfast, perfect location and very well priced. The owners really couldn’t have done more! Amazing. Highly recommended.

Dorchester house is such a lovely place to stay! With cozy interior and a beautiful dining room, it's just as being invited home to Lorraine and Simon. Lorraine greeted us when we arrived and was always helpful and kind as well as giving practical info about keswich. Would definitely recommend if you're visiting.

10.0 / 10.0

The owners were extremely pleasant and helpful, and provided a wonderful breakfast. The room was a bit small, and the bathroom might present some problems for an obese guest. Fortunately, we are both small people, and had no problems at all! The town is fascinating, with access to a beautiful lake and walks, many pubs, and interesting shops.

From the moment we set foot on the property, Lorraine and Simon impressed me with their warm welcome and concern for their guests. They went out of their way to be helpful at every opportunity, they quickly learned our preferences and accommodated them, and they were friendly with every interaction. The room was clean, comfortable, and the amenities were spot on. The food was delightful. I will absolutely be booking here on my next trip to Keswick.

8.0 / 10.0

The Dorchester was immaculate. I was in a small single room with a seperate spacious bathroom and shower, accessible only to me. The only gripe I had was that since my room was at the front, people would stand chatting right under my window. I don't usually mind, however when it is at 6 - 7am in the morning, forget about having a lie in. It might be an idea to request guests in the area to be more considerate to others when hanging around outside. One guy just wouldn't stop talking and I could hear the entire conversation. I was tempted to tell him to cork it and clear off. Lorraine, the landlady was very attentive and welcoming. She made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Little cakes would appear on the hallway table with my room number on them. My friend stayed in another B&B nearby, which in comparison made the Dorchester look like a luxury hotel. The Dorchester was so clean and crisp that everything looked brand new. I would definitely recommend staying at the Dorchester.

I stayed at Dorchester house with my auntie for 2 nights, really lovely place. Very well kept and spotless throughout. Lorraine and Simon made us feel welcome from the second we arrived. Really lovely couple. The rooms had everything you would need for the stay, beds were comfortable, as the weather was hot a fan was provided. Breakfast was delicious, excellent quality and good selection. There is seating in the front garden to sit in the fresh air. Excellent location as it is only a few minutes walk into the town centre and about10-15 minute walk to derwentwater lake, beautiful place. I would 100% stay again and would recommend it.

Really impressed with our stay at Dorchester House. Right in the door step of Keswick and the Lakes but the best part was the service- nothing was too much for Lorraine and her welcome was always so warm. Especially impressed with the lengths she went to accommodate dietary (vegan) requirements.

A beautiful B&B in a great location. Couldn’t fault anything about our stay at all. The room was spacious, airy, immaculate and well equipped with everything you need. Breakfast was great, lots of choice and the hot food was always cooked to perfection. Both Simon and Lorraine were great hosts.

10.0 / 10.0

I was there for 2 nights. Good breakfast both mornings, very clean room and bathroom. My only issue was with the bathroom. Sink very small with a small glass shelf just above it. Therefore very little space to wash face or shave. Moving this shelf to the left or placing it on the opposite wall would have solved the problem very easily.

We had a lovely stay at Dorchester House over the weekend. The hosts were very welcoming and when they found out it was my birthday I came back to my room to find a card and chocolates! The breakfasts were great, especially the overnight oats which come with different toppings. Overall it felt homely and perfect for a walking holiday
