We enjoyed a lovely weekend staying at Glencoe. The owners are so friendly and welcoming, including little Dexter 🐾. The double room (no4) was clean, warm and cosy with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was super tasty with a nice selection. We'll definately return in the future and would highly recommend.

Lovely welcome, lovely room, lovely breakfast! Perfectly situated in the town centre, with lovely hosts and parking right outside. Lots of choice for breakfast, both cooked and cold options and all delicious. Can’t wait to visit again as soon as possible!

A welcome return to Glencoe and Fiona & Ben, room was spotless, loved the new large TV! Breakfasts were fabulous and used quality ingredients. Dexter was on form checking everyone in and supervising breakfast for quality purposes, or a bit of sausage! The Guest House is in a quiet street but so close to all amenities in Keswick within 10 min walk. Looking forward to our next stay very much.

What an absolute gem of a guest house! Fiona and Ben are brilliant and friendly hosts with nothing being too much trouble and all done with a smile! Breakfast is amazing! Cooked fresh, with quality ingredients clearly used and a wide selection of options. The house itself is comfortable, warm and spotlessly clean. I would not hesitate in recommending Glencoe! Thank you both again for a lovely stay :)

This is our 4th stay at the Glencoe Guesthouse in the last 2 years. Ben and Fiona, the owners of this special place in Keswick, are a very hardworking couple and are a delight to be with. They are so bubbly and will always help you with any enquiries or problems you may have on your visit, with regard to any places you may like to see on your stay here. The guesthouse is so clean and spotless everywhere, and you will find that they will cook a very nice breakfast in the morning, after you have slept in a very comfortable bed. Do yourself a favour and make a booking for a very nice stay in an incredible area of fantastic views in the Lake District. Dave and Jean Moncaster.

Yet another visit to the best B&B in Keswick and another first class experience for both of us plus our dog! We've lost count how many times we've been now, no hesitation in booking the Glencoe. Ben and Fiona are the perfect hosts.
