I stayed at Jenkin Hill Cottage with my girlfriend in April 2012 and had a great time- we will definitely be going back. The rooms as lovely and hospitality spot on. As a coeliac the food that Christine made for us was magnificent, we had both the Cumberland breakfast and evening meals during our stay and recommend them all. Christine... More

Myself and my husband stayed at Jenkin hill for 2 nights (will definitely be going back). Great location only a few miles to Keswick. Marvellous hosts Kelvyn and Christine. Christine's cooking is lovely and such piece of mind as I am a coeliac. ( sticky toffee pudding is a must I had 2 servings lol). Great company and good conversation... More

Last September my wife and I stayed in this B&B for 5 nights and had a marvellous time. The room was lovely and the bed so very comfortable that we slept like babies.

The food was excellent, freshly cooked and always served hot and catering for my mother-in-laws' needs as a diabetic seemed to be no... More

This was the first time we have stayed in a guesthouse, as we have always stayed in hotels, but having been severely disapointed with a recent stay in a hotel near Thirlmere we decided to try something different. And different it was! On arrival we were made to feel perfectly at home and given a lovely room overlooking a wooded... More

I am a coeliac and Jenkin Hill Cottage was first class. Kelvyn and Christine Sheppard completely understand the need for a gluten-free diet and I trusted them completely. Every food offered to non-coeliacs was offered to me (in a gluten-free form). The house has a warm and welcoming atmosphere and my husband and I settled in immediately. Kelvyn and Christine... More
