Really welcoming and helpful hosts in Colin and Sarah. Comfortable single room with a decent bed and a nice hot shower. Plenty of room for a solo traveller. Tea, coffee, kettle in room and fresh milk and cold water available from a small fridge at the bottom of the stairs. Nice breakfasts with options on fresh fruit salad/ porridge/ cereals/ yoghurts and choices with a full English cooked breakfast. Ideally placed in Keswick just a short walk from the town centre with its plentiful places to eat. On-street parking is always a gamble in Keswick but I was always able to find a spot near the establishment. Would highly recommend and I'll be back for a few days next year.

It was all very good and I'd happily return. Street car parking is a bit of a lottery but that's no different from most other Keswick B&B's

Greated by Sarah very friendly and made us welcome straight away. Room on first floor Can't fault anything. Comfortable bed and pillows Nice touches if needed Tea coffee and toiletries. Fresh milk and water to take to your room kept in a small fridge rather than the usual plastic cap fulls you get.of warm milk. Such a wide selection of breakfast choices fruit salad cerals porridge full English and more. Colin a pleasure also and as well as being the chef makes cakes and shortbread biscuits which you can help yourself to.My husband was delighted 😋 Five minute walk into Keswick and short walk to lake Lots of information provided by Sarah on places to eat etc. Would highly recommend just wished we could have stayed longer Thank you so much From Nicola and Kevin

Nothing just perfect

Great hosts, nice good-sized room, good breakfast; what's not to like! Worried about parking and paid for a space through one of the parking apps but didn't use in the end as there was a space very near the house - maybe just lucky but we did have 2 cars and didn't have an issue.

If I'm being really picky, the coffee wasn't that great and the electric shower was a bit inconsistent and needed a few daily adjustments, but nothing that actually spoiled the stay.

You will be lucky if you can find a better hotel in Keswick. Spotlessly clean, great facilities and attention to even the smallest details. A wonderfully comfortable bed and a great breakfast. The owners are lovely, friendly hosts to whom nothing is too much trouble. Cannot recommend this hotel enough, you will not be disappointed.

Nothing negative to say about our stay.

Close to main town centre and lakeland views. Comfort of the room with an exceptionally good shower facility. Hospitality and professionalism of the hosts. Small free extras eg Coffee machine, Wi-fi.

Whilst we got lucky on arrival, parking space is very restricted. Unfortunately, not due to hosts, severe frost and ice hindered our walking experience. Could possibly do with local information leaflets eg map,

Everything about Portland House was superb. Colin and Sarah were lovely hosts. Breakfast was exceptional. I stayed in a single room and it was lovely and spacious. Perfect location for walking into Keswick in 5-10 minutes and yet a quiet location. On road parking was not a problem. I would most definitely book Portland House again without hesitation.

There was nothing I felt needed improvement. Everything was beyond expectation.

A wonderful welcome from the owners, fabulous room with thoughtful touches and they could not do enough for you.

Nothing - although a bath mat would have been useful when getting out of the shower.

The owners were very friendly and chatty. The room was a good size for a single and had everything you would want. Breakfast was excellent. The homemade shortbread was delicious and I loved the idea of being able to help yourself to fresh milk from the fridge.

The room would benefit from some blackout blinds as the early morning sun woke me!!! I know this wouldn’t be needed often as I had excellent weather for Keswick!
