Stay a while
Family-run guest houses and B&Bs, most of them a short walk from the town centre and the fells.
Keswick has a long tradition of guest houses: Victorian slate terraces turned into a handful of rooms, run by people who know the town and the fells well and are happy to point you to a walk.
A B&B is a good base for walkers and for couples. You start the day with a cooked breakfast, and the town’s pubs, cafés and restaurants are on hand in the evening.
Every guest house here is a member of the Keswick Tourism Association. Open one to see its rooms and how to book.
