We have just returned from a weekend in Six Castlegate and must share with you how fantastic it was.

Alan & Angela (owners) just could not do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble. The guest house is beautiful. We stayed in the Skiddaw room on the top floor. Here we found a really comfy bed complete with soft fluffy feather pillows and duvet, LCD TV & tea & coffee making facilities. The bathroom was equally impressive - bright and airey with a walk in shower, huge soft white fluffy towels - Just great. Everything about this guest house is great and it is spotlessly clean.

On checking in Angela asked us to complete our breakfast order for the following morning, which we did. Well, what can I say. Fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal, fresh juice fully cooked breakfast which was fab and set us up for the whole day.

Six Castlegate will definately be revisited by us.

“Fantastic B&B”

Six Castlegate

25 Mar 2008

I was looking to stay for a night near Keswick but being Easter Bank Holiday,this was the only place that I could get a single night booking.We were in for a lovely surprise.Inspite of being so close to the town centre (Wordsworth house is just a 5 min walk away and so is Jennings Brewery) it was away from the crowds.Our double room Blencathra had a lovely view of the church spire nearby and snow clad mountains in the distance.It was quite a large room with beautiful furnishings ,comfy kingsize bed and well-stocked hospitality tray.There was free wi-fi access as well.The power shower was simply out of the world.Our very attentive host Alan was quite proud of the improvements he was making to the place as he should rightly be.We are vegetarians and still the breakfast was of good variety plentiful and above all,delicious.There are plenty of good restaurants nearby as well.Wished we had planned to stay longer here.

“The only place to stay in Cockermouth”

This place is a dream. Some 8 months or so of hard work and renovation have brought this place to a remarkable level of aesthetics as a bed and breakfast. The reception is warming, the rooms are cosy, and the facilities are second to none. I have paid at least £80 a night if not a lot more for accommodation like this on my travels or the past 5 years. Its very stylish but also contemporary at the same time. Very clean and new. Breakfast is superb and is a must to start your day. If you want to go out for a meal or a drink (or both), the nightlife in Cockermouth has plenty enough to offer. I have never stayed or been to Cockermouth before and the guide provided by the owners Alan and Angela is spot on for a first timer. I havent got enough time in my evenings to do it all ! Once you have stayed here you will come back again i promise you .....

Thanks again to Alan and Angela.

“Nice B & B”

Very nice B&B conveniently located in the town centre. Our host showed us great personal attention and the standard of the room was first class. Nice breakfasts. The only downside was lack of convenient parking.

“The best B&B Ever”

We managed to book a twin room at short notice and couldn't believe our luck when we arrived and saw our room. Fabulous! with a luxurious bathroom supplied with large thick towels. The breakfasts were great as they offered a large selection of fresh fruit, yogurts and great cereals along with plenty of fresh coffee and tea all served in a beautiful breakfast room with linen napkins and white tablecloths. The property is a fantastic Georgian building right in the centre of Cockermouth so very convenient for restaurants and pubs. Alan the host went that extra mile to find us daily weather reports for hill walking. RECOMMENDED !
