Centrally located conveniences, Immaculate cleanliness, Special touches for celebrations
The shower area felt quite cramped, making it uncomfortable!!! On-street parking can be quite difficult during peak times!!! The lack of ground floor rooms may pose an inconvenience for those with mobility concerns!!!

Great hosts made my birthday special, but breakfast timing was too limited. No pets allowed.

Loved the cozy room with a fan to beat the heat and the charming garden seating for fresh air. Lorraine and Simon were super attentive, even leaving a birthday card for me at breakfast.

At Dorchester House, I found a warm atmosphere and perfectly cooked breakfasts. Lorraine and Simon offered delightful little surprises, like cakes upon return. the toilets were a bit noisy. a charming stay that I’ll remember fondly as an art lover exploring Keswick.

We really enjoyed our stay, especially the nice hot showers after our hikes and the super cozy family room that fit us perfectly. Relaxation opportunities like the peaceful garden and a cozy reading nook made our time even better. Just a heads up, you need to order breakfast the night before, which felt a bit odd planning ahead, but it wasn’t a big deal. 😊

This was just a prime choice for a fleeting trip in Keswick with fantastic value for money. The breakfast was all you can eat, which was a nice surprise. Make sure to arrive early if parking is a concern.

missingWrote a review on Aug 02cramped bathroom
The rooms felt a tad cramped, making it difficult to maneuver comfortably at times, and the bathrooms had small sinks that didn’t help much. the need to pre-order breakfast the night before left me feeling a bit restricted in my morning choices, which isn't ideal for someone who likes to play it by ear in the mornings.

Perfect spot for a cozy stay
The hosts were super friendly and really knew how to make you feel at home. The breakfast options were delish, especially for special diets. The place was spotless! Only thing was, the shower could’ve had better water pressure, but it didn’t ruin my stay. Can't wait to visit again!

The Dorchester House felt like a cozy nest, with immaculate cleanliness and a sweet, welcoming charm that makes it perfect for us seniors. The easy access to Keswick's shops and lovely lakeside walks added to the delightful experience.
More comfortable seating in common areas would help.

I spent 3 nights at Dorchester House and felt incredibly welcomed by Lorraine and Simon from the moment I arrived. The double room was spotless, with comfortable bedding and a fan provided for the warm weather. Breakfast was easily the best part, featuring delicious bacon and a good selection of options, tailored to my preferences. I loved the little touches like homemade cakes in the evening, it made the stay feel special. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the town centre and nearby trails for hiking. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere in the B&B, which was nice after a day of exploring. One downside was the parking, as it’s on-street only, though I found a spot quickly each time. some noise from outside could be heard during early mornings, which might be an issue for light sleepers. everything was fantastic. I'd definitely stay here again.

Ideal for families seeking comfort
The hosts really treated us like family from the get-go. Breakfast was a showstopper, my kids devoured the full English while I enjoyed the overnight oats and fresh fruit, such a nice touch. It was comforting to come back to a cozy room after a day of exploring, it felt like home. They also helped us plan daily adventures, making it so easy to navigate around the area. Honestly I haven’t felt this welcomed in a long time.
Not the cheapest option but worth every penny for the experience.

The hosts were incredibly welcoming, offering personal touches like evening cakes and great breakfast options, including delicious pork belly. The room was spacious and impeccably clean, providing a comfortable stay. street parking was available but could be a challenge during peak times, and the property was quite popular, making it slightly busy at breakfast. Despite these minor issues, the overall experience was enjoyable, making it a destination I'd consider returning to.
