Nice guest house run by a very friendly and helpful couple. Great breakfast. Only gripe would be the bathroom on a lower floor (we had room 2) and a firmer bed than we are used to, but these did not spoil our stay at all. A small walk past the Church to the town centre made it a perfect location... More

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. We booked three rooms and each were lovely, clean and spacious. Plus, it's located in a great spot - walking distance to shopping/pubs/restaurants. Breakfast was delicious too! Janet and Graham were wonderful hosts and really went above and beyond for us. I accidentally left my glasses behind in our room and... More

This trip was arranged by friends to celebrate a birthday and we went to the Lakeside Theatre which is just a 10 minute stroll. Also very handy for the centre of town. The owners are very friendly and their attention to detail is obvious. Breakfast was good and the private lounge, referred to in previous reviews, was made available if... More

A lovely, clean and comfortable guest house in a very handy spot. Friendly hosts who could not do enough for their guests, and a lovely breakfast. Can't wait to return, and will recommend to friends and family.

Found this lovely guest house by accident. What a find. Jan was so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms though small were excellent and very clean. It was comfortable, near to the town and restaurants and gave us everthing we wanted. The breakfast was really good. I would recommend this guest house.

Having not visited Tarn Hows since the days of Gill and Trevor, we were delighted to find that Janet and Graham have maintained the very high standards set. They were very friendly and helpful, and provided an excellent breakfast! We'll continue to use and recommend Tarn Hows to any family and friends visiting Keswick.
