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.”

good locationstrict timingunwelcoming atmosphere

the location was pretty good for seeing the town. it was close to everything, so that aspect was acceptable.

I found the breakfast timing very strict. It was only available for half an hour. the food seemed to have a distinct taste. also, the owner only smiled when payment happened. this made the atmosphere less cute than I hoped.

The location was close to shops. The location was convenient for restaurants. A view overlooked the town and mountains from my room. The price seemed fair.

Breakfast lasted only thirty minutes. Breakfast tasted heavily of asian food. The owner smiled only after payment was complete. There was no heating in the room.
