We had a 2 night stay with David & Karen over the Keswick Mountain Festival. The room was really comfortable, super-king size bed & fabulous shower - once in you didn't want to get out! The breakfasts were really tasty too - you must try the homemade granola. Thanks very much for a wonderful stay - we will be back!

Just returned from our third stay at Oakthwaite House. Everything perfect as usual. Spotlessly clean, very quiet, comfy beds and the best breakfast ever! The complimentary chocolates and bathroom treats are a lovely touch. David and Karen make you feel very welcome. I thoroughly recommend this place.

Just stayed 2 nights at Oakthwaite. We were in Room 4 which is perfectly described on the website as compact. It certainly is but that's not an issue as the room is really nicely decorated and cosy and spotlessly clean. We arrived a little earlier than we had said but David was very welcoming and showed us to our room... More

I travel with work so spend a lot of time in B&B's but this one really is a cut above the rest, the breakfast has to be the best I’ve even eaten. Highly recommended, I’ll certainly be... More
