Glendale Guest House

Very nice and clean hotel with a great “brekky” The host is very friendly and helpful

We appreciated many recommendations from our host, such as good restaurants, directions for walking trails, and detours worth taking on the way to our next destination. Everything was spot on!

We arrived shortly after 3pm and tried to ring the bell on the front door, but it wasn't working, so we had to ring the mobile phone number notified. This was Barrie's mobile number, & he informed us he was out but his wife, Clare, was in so he would phone her; soon after she opened the door & let us in. Clare showed us to our room - number 3, a front-facing double on the first floor. It is a little crowded with two armchairs & a small table & we had to turn the heating up as it was cold (only 8 degrees outside!), There is good storage space with a double wardrobe & chest of drawers. We did however find some rubbish in the top drawer of one of the bedside cabinets that had been left by the previous occupants & missed by housekeeping! The bathroom was just spacious enough with a decent-sized shower; however it was slightly bizarre that as a couple we were given just one complete set of towels, i.e. one hand-towel, one small bath towel, & one larger bath sheet to share - something that we've never experienced before! Toiletries provided were environmentally friendly & face wipes were also provided. The tea & coffee tray was well-stocked, which was a good point. Location was excellent, only 5 minutes walk into the centre of Keswick. Clare and Barrie were very friendly, & the breakfast was great - decent selection of fruit, yoghurt, cereal, & an excellent cooked breakfast! Parking is an issue, as you have to park in the street, which is narrow. The website is out of date!

Comfortable bed, good shower and a lovely breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

Good, owners helpful and friendly
