Brookfield B&B Guest House

Just a quick review of The Brookfield guest house at Keswick. Stayed for one night in Feb as a couple with our golden retriever. Easy to find and you can park across the road up a quiet country lane. Lauren welcomed us upon arrival and made us very comfortable showing us to our room and giving us what we needed to know. The room was huge and en suite and even had a sofa ! Literally everything you could need was in the room from tea n coffee to towels and torches...the room was warm and the bedding superb. Breakfast was amazing with cereals, fruits, cheese..full English or whatever you wanted. Took about twenty minutes to walk into Keswick via old railway line but i have a dodgy knee so more reasonably 10 to 15. Definitely go again. Lovely little place.

Lorna is a lovely and attentive host who made us feel very welcome. The room was clean and well equipped, the bed was very comfortable after a long day walking and the breakfast was top notch - one of the best fry ups I’ve ever had. Will definitely be back!

I was recently lucky enough to spend 3 days at Brookfields B&B, Keswick. I was greeted at the door by Lorna who was so welcoming and friendly. My room was the double on the top floor, overlooking Latrigg Fell. Bedding is fresh and the bed itself was very comfortable. The room was always warm. There is a compact en suite in the room too, where wipes, cotton buds, cotton pads, shower gel and lotion are provided. There are tea/coffee making facilities in the room, including a big range of different teas, along with biscuits replenished daily. Breakfast was excellent! You can mix and match from the menu. The local produce is very tasty and my eggs were spot on every day. Lorna also provides an enormous amount of choice in the breakfast room itself - there are plenty of cereals available, including many vegan/gluten free choices. There are yoghurts, raisins, snack bars, fruit, cheeses provided. What I really liked was the miniature jars of jams and HP sauce etc that are displayed; why do they taste better that way? Great coffee too! The location is perfect as you are very central to Keswick but you are not fighting for a parking spot! Parking is in a quiet lane opposite the B&B. To get into Keswick you simply cross over the road, walk around a corner then join the flat Keswick to Threlkeld old railway line walk. This lands you by the leisure centre by Fitz park. The B&B is also really handy for visiting Castlerigg stone circle, you just walk up the lane where you park and follow that lane. You can then walk into Keswick off road; the route is available on Keswick.org website - I think the local robins have cottoned on to the footfall, one followed me for quite some time. That walk brings you out above Derwentwater so it's a great alternative to the railway path route. Latrigg is behind Brookfields and really delivers on views. Many thanks to Lorna - and Salem the cat of course!
