Liz & Chris both welcomed me upon arrival. The guest house is conveniently located in the town centre and is in a quiet residential area (I couldn't believe how quiet it was, given the location). My room was well suited for my two night stay, with a small and modern looking en-suite shower room. The guest house provided a drying room for any wet clothing and muddy boots. Liz was very knowledgeable about the area and provided me with useful tips for getting around the town and down to Derwent Water. On offer for breakfast were cereals or porridge, but I opted for the full English which you can select from a menu the night before. Cooked to perfection!! In addition, I took the packed lunch that was on offer, useful for my days' walking. This was charged extra and even included a slice of homemade cake (delicious!!) I would stay here again if returning to Keswick and I highly recommend the guest house. Liz and Chris being perfect hosts.

Fantastic Stay

Liz and Chris were fantastic hosts, we had a wonderful stay and the room and bathroom were absolutely spotless. Lovely quality duvet, and fantastic breakfast of yoghurt and fruit, homemade granola, cereals, tea, coffee, toast and local jams, and a full English breakfast. They also offer vegetarian options and avocado and poached egg on toast. The options were vast and high quality. They go above and beyond for guests, and catered specifically to my partner being gluten free by providing gluten free bread and granola at breakfast. We will certainly be back and will be recommending Goodwin House to family and friends. Thank you!

An excellent Keswick Guesthouse

This is a great guesthouse in the centre of Keswick, an ideal location with access to all the walks direct from the doorstep. I had an excellent stay with the highlights being a friendly and attentive host, super clean room with a comfortable bed (big plus after a day out walking) and an awesome breakfast with loads of options. Highly recommend if you’re looking at visiting the area :)
