Always a pleasure to stay with Peter and Marion in such a warm, friendly and clean B&B With hearty food, spacious rooms and a central location, a truly enjoyable experience where the hosts provide little extras which make a big difference. Numerous visits, never disappointed. Always eager to return.

Marion made us very welcome, the pot of strawberries was an extra special touch along with a good selection of the usual beverages and biscuits. Beds were extremely comfortable and breakfast was top quality. Loved the surprise element at breakfast. Would recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Keswick. A great friendly lady.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Goodwin House for two days. Marion was standing out front as we had gotten lost several times without GPS in the UK. That was a very welcoming touch. She was taken a number of hospitality courses as shown by certificates on the wall and it's quite evident that she has the will and... More

Many thanks for your review. So glad that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the wonderful history of our home . I have noted that you felt the decor / furnishings were on the dull side. In fact the chairs were replaced the following week by new leather tub chairs , and certainly we will consider this when redecorating in... More

It's hard to imagine a more helpful host family. It got to the point that we asked ourselves that question repeatedly. Marion and Peter were always there to assist and surprise us. Not only did they answer all our questions, but they gave us unfailingly good recommendations for places to hike, eat, or even go to church. Some of the... More

A third visit to this lovely B&B in Keswick. Marion and Peter are always friendly and welcoming, and happy to make time to chat to one. As always, the room was spotless, well appointed and comfortable. A pleasant, short stroll in to the central area of town where one is spoilt for choice of places to eat and drink, whatever... More
