Have just returned from a girls weekend in the Lakes during which we stayed at the Mount. Its a great location within easy walking distance from the amenities of Keswick(15mins) but its quiet and peaceful close to the lake and well away from the main road. The B&B is very well furnished with comfortable bedrooms with high quality bed linen... More

A tray of tea or coffee with homemade cakes are given to you on your arrival. Our room was stunning, top class bedding, towels, toiletries and... More

We've stayed at The Mount 4 times now, and I cannot fault it. Brendan & Steph are wonderful hosts, nothing is too much trouble, and the little touches such as tea and home made cake on arrival, fresh coffee & home made goodies in the room, lovely toiletries make the difference. The rooms are tastefully decorated, and most have lovely... More

First visit to this gorgeous B&B, Steph and Brendan were so welcoming. Bags carried in by Brendan and coffee and cake made by Steph, just what I needed after the trip up in the rain. The room was gorgeous and had lovely touches like the home made biscuits and proper coffee. I was staying here alone as my family were... More

Another wonderful visit to see Steph and Brendan at The Mount. My husband and I just love staying here. Steph's breakfasts, home-made cakes and biscuits, the welcoming lounge with open fire, Brendan's advice on walks, beautiful bedrooms with stunning views. I could go on, everything is just fab. The Mount is in a lovely little village, with a local pub... More

We've just enjoyed another wonderful stay at the Mount. It's our luxurious 'home from home'. Steph and Brendan are so warm and friendly and provide great care and attention to detail for their guests (e.g. Steph's tasty home baked goodies, L'Occitane toiletries and treats for our dog) We love waking up to the stunning lake views and delicious hearty breakfasts....

We have just got back from a three night stay at The Mount and are extremely impressed. As vegans, we are used to turning up at B&Bs with our own supplies and being grateful for jam on toast, but here we were treated like royalty throughout. On arrival, we were greeted by Brendan, who carried our bags from the car,... More
