Just got back from a short break in the lake district. The accommodation was outstanding and excellent value for money. Sue and john were very attentive hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them.Full english breakfasts too die for!! Would definitely return. More

We had a great weekend at honister house thanks mainly to Susie and john the owners, our room Cat Bells was spacious and well appointed and only a stones throw from the main car park and town . The real star of the show though was the breakfast, everything you wish for cooked by susie and served by the knowledgeable... More

A real home from home. Comfortable room, excellent bed (even for my 6'4" husband!), TV, tea coffee and lovely biscuits - what more can you ask for in a room? Well planned and flexible breakfast menu and such welcoming hosts in John and Susie. If you want to stay in Keswick then this is the place but there might just... More

We had a lovely weekend and can only echo what everyone else has said - truly delicious breakfasts cooked by Susie, everything very comfortable and clean. We stayed in the room called Cat Bells, which overlooks the street, but was very quiet and peaceful. One of the high points for us was breakfast at the communal table, meeting and hearing... More

We have had a wonderful week staying in John and Susie's guest house. Susie's vegan breakfasts were superb, our room clean and comfortable. Each morning we had lovely conversations with John who gave us ideas for places to visit, details of public transport and boat trips (we had travelled to Keswick from Devon using buses and trains). To sum up,... More

The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was made to order, with many special items not found at other B&B's, and absolutely... More

We have had a wonderful 3 days here, John is lovely always went the extra mile and then there were susies best home made biscuits ever! I recommend the pancakes for breakfast! It was a shame however that we didnt meet susie until we left. Fantastic location, very homely. More

We have just returned from a long weekend break in our beloved Keswick. We remembered seeing Honister House during our last trip to Keswick and thought we would give it a try this time around, as it's location is ideal for the town centre. John and Susie made for an thoroughly enjoyable and pleasent stay. Nothing was too much trouble... More

John and Susie Stakes go out of their way to provide a comfortable and welcoming environment, with many little touches like home-made biscuits in the room to have with your tea and coffee and a wide choice of breakfast menu, excellently cooked. Our room was comfortable (though perhaps a little small) and the en-suite shower bathroom clean and well provided... More
