Highlights

Location: market town of Keswick, just two minutes walk to town center

Rooms: 6 large comfortable rooms accommodating up to 13 people

Parking: ample private parking for guests

Dining: delicious breakfast, well cooked

“Lincoln Guest House's location works perfectly as a base for exploring Keswick, particularly if you're driving, given the free parking - a definite plus in this area. While clearly a budget-friendly option, the reported inconsistencies in service might be a gamble; I'd personally weigh the cost savings against the potential for a less-than-smooth experience, especially given the many other B&Bs along Stanger Street.”
